Stella L. Pitts has been managing her own family law practice, Stella L. Pitts & Associates, PLLC since 2001. Although Ms. Pitts concentrates primarily on family law involving complex dissolution and custody, she is also expanding her practice to include mediations, personal wills, and small business areas. She is an experienced trial lawyer.
Ms. Pitts entered the legal profession by managing small law firms in Alaska and Texas for over 10 years. At the same time, she earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Alaska, Anchorage in 1980 with a major in Business Administration, and a law degree from the University of Houston Law Center in 1986. She began her work as an attorney with four years at two civil litigation firms in the Seattle area, Keller Rohrback and Casey Gordon Davis, gaining experience in divorce law. She then opened a partnership practice in Seattle focusing primarily on family law.
In her family law practice, Ms. Pitts concentrates on restructuring families through a focus on integrity and problem-solving during a divorce or in other difficult times. She believes in the concept of transformational law, which defines law as a healing profession whose purpose is to optimize human well-being in their complicated relationships with other humans.
Ms. Pitts is a member of the American Bar Association, Washington State Bar Association, King County Bar Association and the King County Washington Women Lawyers, for the last of which she served as president in 1996. She regularly conducts continuing legal education seminars on family law issues. On a personal level, Ms. Pitts actively participates in the political process, is deeply concerned about children’s treatment in the court system, and works towards improving society’s status quo.
