About
David James Mace is a dedicated family law attorney based in Seattle, WA, specializing in child custody matters. His journey into the legal field was motivated by a profound desire to assist others, rather than the allure of courtroom drama. For David, practicing family law is about being a steadfast ally for clients as they navigate the turbulent waters of separation and custody disputes, ultimately guiding them toward brighter, more peaceful futures. David's practice is grounded in the art of active listening. He firmly believes that understanding a client's unique circumstances and aspirations is essential for crafting effective legal strategies. Whether dealing with intricate custody arrangements or complex divorce situations, his goal is to enhance the lives of his clients and, most importantly, their children. He approaches every case with empathy and a commitment to finding solutions that prioritize the well-being of families. Hailing from Clearview, Washington, David's roots are in the heart of rural life, where he learned the values of hard work and community from a young age. He earned his AA from Everett Community College, his BA from the University of Washington, and his JD from Georgetown University. Before embarking on his legal career, David honed his work ethic through various jobs, including his first role mixing paint at a local store. For 18 years, David devoted his expertise to a nonprofit legal aid clinic, providing vital support to underserved populations. He is also a proud father of two and a passionate advocate for children with disabilities, demonstrating his commitment to inclusion both in and out of the courtroom. When he's not diligently working on behalf of his clients, David enjoys immersing himself in literature, listening to music, or reminiscing about his upbringing on the farm. His blend of compassion, skill, and practical wisdom not only makes him a reliable attorney but also a trusted confidant for those facing life's most challenging moments in family law.
