About Katherine Bruya

I come from a long line of attorneys: the law and justice are in my blood. Since 1998, I have served clients in Auburn and King County with their family law concerns and problems.

Divorce and family law is a very emotional area of the law and I have worked exclusively in this area. I am committed to providing as much support as possible for my clients.

I began working in family law as an intern and then as an attorney for an attorney in King County. In 2006, I moved my law office back to King County and in 2014 decided to move my office to my home in Auburn.

Because I am a sole practitioner and work out of my home, I am able to spend as much time as needed, whenever needed, on each of my cases. I often have phone conferences in the evenings and weekends to accommodate my clients' schedules.

Kathy is amazing! She was very recommended and reasonable in price. She was honest with me from the beginning and didn't beat around the bush. Getting a divorce isn't an easy thing for anyone and she helped me so much because I was dealing with that and being pregnant, but Kathy keep me on track of the things I needed to do for her and I can't say enough great things about her. She's a great Lawyer and a terrific person.

Before Hiring Kathy i was lost on the entire process of filing for a parenting plan, she was so helpful from the beginning, not only did she make sure i got everything i deserved she made sure i was never taken advantage of and made me a stronger person by teaching me to stick up for myself. She truely cared about my sons overall well being and never missed a beat with being in contact with me whenever i needed her, weekends, holidays, she was always there for me. I highly recommend Kathy.

Kathy is adept at navigating the complexities of family dynamics, legal as well as emotional and financial. Having someone like Kathy by your side makes you feel like, no matter what happens, everything is going to be okay.

Kathy Bruya is a dedicated advocate. She is focused and on-task. She also was clear about her role, the areas of her practice and how best to help with legal questions. Perhaps her greatest strength was the development of a legal plan to which she adhered to.

We hired Kathy for my daughter to obtain a protection order, manage her divorce and child custody from a narcissistic, controlling husband and abusive father. Kathy’s been there right from the start and hasn’t stopped. She treats our questions and concerns with care and priority. She’s responsive, thorough, dedicated, and professional. Kathy’s fierce in dealing with an aggressive bully. We can’t do this without her. Hiring Kathy has been the best decision and we whole-heartedly recommend her.
