About Leigh Noffsinger

Collaborative divorce is like having a midwife and doula to help you hold your intentions and look at the bigger picture. Leigh helped me keep coming back to my higher goals to remind me of a better future ahead.
— Jenn Gallucci, entrepreneur, mother of two
Leigh saved me from months of expensive, stressful, pointless litigation. She helped me let go of an old story so that I could move forward with my life.
— L. C., published author, mother of one
Leigh made one of the most heart-breaking, gut-wrenching and horrible experiences of my life tolerable. Her straightforward approach helped me hold it together.
— K. B., project manager

Leigh started her family law practice in 2010, ten years after graduating from law school, with the goal of providing high-quality legal advice and creative approaches to help others have a good divorce, as she did. She has completed intensive training in family law, collaborative divorce, mediation, and integrative law.

In her free time, she practices hot yoga as often as possible (often followed by a quick dip in the chilly Salish Sea), works on her printmaking and collage hobbies, grows and arranges dahlias, and refines her psychological warfare skills in a blended family including her 22-year-old son and three step kids, who — along with labradoodle puppy, Birdy — humble her every day.
