Cinco De Mayo in Seattle 2017

(Click the link above for more information)

"Cinco de Mayo is a day to celebrate Mexican heritage and pride while it is also another great reason to party! Much like St Patricks Day and Oktoberfest, Cinco de Mayo in Seattle Washington has several events and parties at local restaurants & bars."


Don’t Blame Me…Okay?

That is the essence of no fault divorce.  Marital wrongdoing (such as adultery, cruelty, or abandonment) is no longer required to terminate a marriage.  Rather, both parties agree that the demise of their marriage is neither’s fault.  The petitioning party simply must assert that the marriage is irretrievably broken. The court will grant the divorce without either party showing evidence that the marital contract was breached unless the responding party petitions for conciliation, which is, in effect, court-ordered marriage counseling to explore whether the marriage can be saved.

It all began during many of our lifetimes.  In 1970 Governor Ronald Reagan signed no fault divorce into law in the state of California.  Washington followed in 1973.  It took 40 years, believe it or not, before New York became the last state to ratify it.  However, only 17 states even today are TRUE no fault divorce states; though some others allow no fault as an option. 

To find out if this is a viable option for YOU, call someone who has been handling these cases since 1977.  He is veteran no fault divorce attorney Lyle Clark.  Lyle maintains an office at 40 Lake Bellevue Suite 100, in Bellevue, Washington.  He will arrange an initial consultation with a phone call to (425) 452-3092.

Spring Egg Hunts!

(Click the link above for more information)

"Hop on down to the Seattle Children’s Museum for lots of Easter fun! For two days, 4,000 plastic Eco eggs will be hiding amongst the Museum’s exhibits just waiting to be found! At the end of each egg hunt, children will turn in their eggs (as many or few as they want) for special prize bags."



Your Children’s Best Interest.

I am sure that nearly everyone agrees that when a marital union comes to an end thoughts turn to the best interests of the children.  This is not lip service.  It is a very real concern about not only how they will react initially, but the profound long-term impact of living without both parents being under the same roof.

The term “best interests” stems from deliberations that family courts undertake to decide what actions to take to best serve a child in the long run.  Topics such as education, healthcare, and religious upbringing will be discussed.  The mental and physical health of each parent may come into play as well as financial stability.

If you must go through this do not do it alone.  You may wish to seek the advice of a veteran family attorney in the Seattle area.  For the last four decades Bellevue, Washington family attorney Lyle Clark has assisted individuals during this stressful process.  Please call Attorney Lyle Clark at (425) 452-3092.

SSI for Those Under 18.

Most of the time when we think of SSI (Supplemental Security Income) we think of people who have been in the workforce and are now in need of financial assistance.  SSI is financed by general funds of the US Treasury and not based on your prior work history like we have come to know Social Security.

SSI beneficiaries are also eligible for medical assistance known as Medicaid (Not Medicare).  This pays for a myriad of health issues such as hospital stays, prescription drugs, visits to the doctor, and other various health-related expenses.  To begin, you should secure The Child Disability Starter Kit.  Read this first.

The next step is to contact the right attorney to guide you in this process.  Why?  Because the legal issues surrounding a child’s disability claims may become quite complex.  The right choice is Seattle area SSI attorney Lyle Clark.  For decades, he has helped families navigate through the legal system.  Call for a consultation at his Bellevue, WA office at (425) 452-3092.

The Million Man Waiting List.

You may have heard of the Million Man March.  And recently, millions gathered in Washington, DC to protest the inauguration of the new president.  You may not have been a part of any of that, but you may now be effected by this new euphemism: the Million Man Waiting List.  It is something of which you may need to be aware.

For some, it may be the stuff of nightmares.  You or a loved one may have been permanently injured in an auto accident or have a serious medical condition or mental illness.  You can no longer work for a living and your only recourse is to apply for disability insurance benefits or SSI.  Then you go to the Social Security office and find out that the average wait time is more than a year and a half if your initial application is turned down and you need to appeal!

You must take action, or struggle without any visible means of support.  That is when you decide to call Seattle area disability attorney Lyle M. Clark, Jr.  Attorney Clark has spent the last four decades fighting for the “little guy” who needs to receive his or her rightful benefits to survive.  Arrange an appointment at his Bellevue, WA office by calling (425) 452-3092.
