Mr. Engel handles the firm’s business affairs as the managing attorney and president of the Engel Law Group, P.S. He established the Engel Law Group in 2004. Prior to forming the Engel Law Group, Eric clerked for a divorce judge in Spokane, WA. He also worked as a legal intern representing indigent criminal defendants in misdemeanor matters, including domestic violence charges, in Seattle Municipal court. He also interned for a firm in insurance defense, and represented Spokane County as an intern while prosecuting criminal offenses. Eric earned two Bachelor degrees from the University of Washington. He earned a degree in English and another in Political Science.
Eric attended both Gonzaga and Seattle University Schools of Law. During law school, Eric earned a spot on the prestigious Law Review team where he became an associate editor. He also served as a member of the Moot Court team arguing a mock appellate matter before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, CA. He graduated from law school, in 2003, with a 3.3 GPA in the top twentieth percent of his class.
Mr. Engel gained extensive experience handling litigation matters in domestic disputes. As the managing attorney for the firm and due to the complex needs of the clients he serves, Mr. Engel is highly selective with which cases he takes. The majority of his family law practice concerns issues in business evaluations, high net worth divorces and separations, and complex child custody disputes involving serious parenting allegations such as Sexual Abuse, Drug Addiction, and Domestic Violence. He usually takes 3-4 cases to verdict each year. If you think Mr. Engel would be a good fit for your matter, please call our office and specifically request to schedule a consultation on his calendar. Mr. Engel only sees clients out of the Seattle office.
His Seattle, Washington, law practice includes divorce and family law, and bankruptcy matters. Besides working for his clients, Eric enjoys reading, jogging, playing the piano, Astronomy, Roman history post Republic, and has a peculiar interest in global oil production and Hubbert’s Peak. He lives in Seattle.
