About Chelsea English
Chelsea English is a Seattle family law attorney who represents clients in divorce, parenting-plan, child-support, property-division, and other family law matters. She brings a practical, strategic approach to her work and focuses on helping clients understand both the legal issues in front of them and the decisions that can shape the course of their case.
Chelsea has more than five years of experience handling contested legal matters and is experienced in case strategy, client counseling, negotiation, legal writing, court preparation, and oral advocacy. She regularly helps clients prepare for hearings, understand court procedures, evaluate risk, and make informed decisions as their cases move forward.
Her approach is organized, direct, and solution-focused. Chelsea looks for opportunities to resolve disputes through negotiation when that serves the client’s interests, while remaining prepared to litigate when a stronger court-focused approach is necessary. She is particularly attentive to keeping clients informed about what is happening in their case, what comes next, and how different choices may affect the outcome.
Chelsea earned her J.D. from Seattle University School of Law after completing her undergraduate degree in Political Science at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. She has been admitted to practice in Washington since 2019.
Outside the office, Chelsea enjoys trying new restaurants, spending time outdoors with her dog Scout, and exploring Seattle.
