Welcome to the Seattle Collaborative Law Center

The Seattle Collaborative Law Center, PLLC is the realization of a dream that started in 2008 when Kevin Scudder, our founder, took his introductory Collaborative Training and experienced a personal and professional sense of

“Coming Home”.

From the start of his Collaborative work, it was clear to Kevin that a legal process that incorporates the tenets of good faith, respect, informed consent, and full disclosure is a more humanistic approach to conflict resolution, an antidote to the emotional, psychological and financial damage that often accompanies the alternative dispute resolution model that litigation is becoming.

The vast majority of people do not want to go to war. They want safety, to be heard, financial sufficiency, their children to be given the best chance of being healthy human beings, and a result that reflects their idea of what is fair and just rather than to have one imposed on them through the coercion of a settlement conference or a decision from a third party who cannot possibly know them, their children, or their underlying needs and interests.

The Seattle Collaborative Law Center is committed to furthering Kevin’s dream of providing a place for consumers and professionals to come to be educated and to receive quality, compassionate professional services.

Amazing, caring, and trustworthy – I hired Kristina when leaving a domestic violence marriage with a baby and I’ve never felt more supported than by her! She was extremely considerate, kind, did not push anything onto me, and made sure I understood 100% of everything going on. She was not judgemental and she gave wonderful advice and if she didn’t know an answer off the top of her head she let me know and she went out of her way to get the knowledge. Kristina was someone I could talk to easily and was so friendly and professional and always made sure to get back to my emails very quickly. She is my #1 suggestion to anyone needing her type of service!
