What to expect from Zigler Family Law, PLLC
About Zigler Family Law, PLLC
I founded Zigler Family Law so that I could use my skills as an attorney to help families in times of crisis. I chose to practice family law, because unlike other areas of the law, it changes and evolves. With over 15 years of experience in family law, helping families through divorce, parenting plans, and protection orders, I have seen clients through the most vulnerable times in their lives. Over the years, after finishing a case, clients have asked if I could help them write or rewrite their estate plans. It makes sense that once we’ve formed a trusting relationship, clients would want to come back to me for their estate planning needs – and for me, it’s fulfilling to provide a service to clients that will help to keep them out of court.
While I was reaching out to the New Law Business Model to become a certified Personal Family Lawyer, my law school BFF, Jennifer, was forming her own estate planning firm. I hired Jennifer, whose experience is a perfect fit for Zigler Family Law’s estate planning vibe. Although Jennifer and I went to law school and became attorneys together eons ago, Jennifer put her law career on pause to become a public school teacher, and eventually assistant principal. And now she’s back as an attorney! She is an expert at taking complicated subjects and breaking them into digestible chunks. This is perfect for anyone who is new to estate planning.
Jennifer and I share many things in common, other than that we’re both lawyers and Gonzaga University alumni: we’ve both navigated divorce, loss of close family members, and are currently stepparents; we also love karaoke, dancing, the Zags, and the Seahawks (CA-CAWWWW). We understand how complicated estate planning can be for folks with nontraditional families, whether that’s a blended family or your chosen family. We’re excited to share our knowledge with you.
Whether you work with Jennifer or me, you can be sure that we will connect with you, understand you, and ensure that the plan we put in place is exactly what you need to achieve your goals.

What makes PFL lawyers different?

How you hire us.
We begin with a comprehensive inventory of everything you own, and everyone you love, and consider it all in a working meeting, called a Family Wealth Planning Session, to guide you to clarify your financial life and legacy goals before we draft a single document.
-
How we plan.
We work with you throughout every life stage to map out the most likely scenarios for you and the people you love, planning for each as your life, the law, and your assets change over time.
-
What we protect.
Our Life & Legacy Planning process ensures everything that matters most -- from your financial assets to your values, insights, stories and experience -- are captured and documented during your life and cared for over the generations to come.
-
What you see.
Transparency in our process, and our fees … all of which are flat fees, agreed to in advance, based on your choices and with no surprises, ensuring we stay on the same side of the table - supporting you to make a lifetime of great decisions - every step of the way.
-
How we deliver.
Our systems help you get clear and organized, overcoming the exact issues that keep most estate plans from actually working when they are needed most. We help you leave your family with a gift of love, and not a mess.
-
How our plans work.
One-and-done estate plans focused only on money are a recipe for a big mess. We help you throughout every stage of life and be there for the people you love, when you can’t be.
