Seattle Divorce Attorney
Divorce is rarely straightforward, and having a skilled, experienced advocate on your side makes a significant difference in how your case unfolds. As a seasoned Seattle divorce attorney, O. Yale Lewis III has guided clients through some of the most complex and emotionally charged family law matters in Washington State for close to 20 years. His background is unusually broad — spanning commercial fishing, journalism, and an elite legal education — and it informs an approach to divorce litigation that is both strategically sharp and deeply human. Mr. Lewis understands that the decisions made during a divorce have lasting consequences, and he prepares every case with the thoroughness and care that those stakes demand.
As a sole practitioner, Mr. Lewis is selective about the clients he takes on — a deliberate choice that allows him to give each case the focused, high-quality attention it deserves rather than spreading himself thin across a large caseload.
Divorce representation includes:
- Contested and uncontested divorce proceedings
- Community property and complex asset division
- Spousal maintenance negotiation and litigation
- High-conflict divorce and multi-court representation
- Post-decree modifications and enforcement actions

Seattle Indian Law Attorney
Few attorneys in Washington State bring the depth of knowledge and hands-on courtroom experience that O. Yale Lewis III offers as a Seattle Indian law attorney. His connection to Indian law is both academic and practical — during law school he published a first-place article in the American Indian Law Review, and he has spent nearly two decades litigating Indian law matters in tribal courts throughout the state. Mr. Lewis is admitted to practice at most of the tribal bars in Washington, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court and both federal district courts in the state, giving him an unusually broad jurisdictional reach for clients whose matters cross into federal or tribal legal territory.
His sole practitioner model means clients working with Mr. Lewis on Indian law matters receive direct, undivided access to one of the state’s most experienced practitioners in this specialized field — not a junior associate or an overextended team.
Indian law services include:
- Tribal court litigation and family law matters
- Indian child welfare and custody proceedings
- Multi-jurisdictional representation across tribal and state courts
- Appellate representation in tribal and federal courts
- Admitted to most tribal bars in Washington State
