A human approach to law
We use the law to help families strategically plan for peace.
By doing it right, we have a positive effect on families, our community and, we believe, the world.
At Wysocki Law, PLLC, we are committed to helping families navigate legal matters in a proactive, peaceful and efficient manner. We guide families through a legal process that incorporates good faith, respect, and honesty in a humanistic approach to planning and problem solving.
​
Our founder, Cindy Wysocki's, commitment to peaceful planning and conflict resolution draws from her diverse background, including hotly contested litigation and ongoing training in mediation and Collaborative Law. Cindy has seen the hurt, turmoil and financial devastation caused by conflict and litigation. She believes that families want and deserve peace, not war.
​
Cindy spent her first years out of law school as a public defender. Public defender is where newly minted lawyers go to get instant client and courtroom experience. It can be a ‘sink or swim’ immersion into the practice of law. Cindy swam. She got trial experience from virtually her first day. A few years of rapid-fire, high volume litigation, though, were enough.
​
She left the public defender’s office and traveled the world, through the United States, Central and Eastern Europe, East Africa, Turkey, Egypt, Mexico, Thailand, Nepal, India, Alaska, England, France, Ireland, and Costa Rica.

​
When she returned to practicing law, Cindy found that serving families was meaningful work that had direct impact on people’s lives. Using the law to help families meant seeing a tangible impact on people’s lives while improving their lives for the better.
As Cindy's practice has evolved over the years, she has come to firmly believe that families need and want peace. They need to be heard, they want financial security, and they want their children to be given the best chance to thrive.
​
They want their legacies to outlive themselves. As a business owner herself, Cindy understands the blood, sweat and tears that go into building one's legacy. She also understands the proactive steps that need to be taken to protect that legacy for future generations.
​
To accomplish what most people really want, families need compassionate, proactive legal planning. And this is the service her firm seeks to provide: helping families proactively plan for peace.
​
Cindy is committed becoming evermore skillful in helping families plan for the future and secure the peace they deserve. Cindy is the first Washington State member of the Amicable Divorce Network member. She serves on the board of Collaborative Professionals of Washington and is a member of Collaborative Law Professionals of Pierce County and International Academy of Collaborative Professionals. She is also an author for Lexis Practical Guidance in the Trusts and Estates.
