Senior Attorney

Lisa Clark is a Senior Attorney at Dellino Family Law Group. With more than 30 years of experience in family law, she has represented clients in all aspects of divorce, child custody, support, and property division. Lisa draws on her extensive litigation and negotiation skills to help clients navigate high-conflict situations, while also guiding those who seek resolution through mediation and settlement. Before becoming an attorney, Lisa spent over a decade in trauma medicine, an experience that shaped her ability to stay calm and effective in times of crisis—skills she carries into her work with families facing difficult transitions.

My Approach

Family law is about people going through some of the most difficult times in their lives. My role is to guide my clients through those challenges with compassion, skill, and unwavering advocacy. I understand the fear and uncertainty that often come with divorce, custody disputes, or other family law matters, and I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients. Whether I am negotiating a fair settlement, preparing for trial, or simply being a steady presence during a client’s hardest moments, my goal is always to help people move forward with dignity and hope for the future.

Background

I graduated from Seattle University School of Law in 1995, after completing my undergraduate degree in history at the University of Washington and an associate degree from Highline Community College. I am a member of both the Washington State Bar Association Family Law Section and the King County Bar Association.

I have lived in Seattle for nearly 50 years and feel grateful every day to call the Pacific Northwest home. Outside of work, I enjoy cycling, swimming, reading history, and attending theater. I am a decades-long supporter of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and a proud former marathon runner, having completed three marathons in three attempts.
