Meet Julie H. Olds

Estate Planning & Probate Attorney in Spokane, WA

I'm Julie H. Olds, a solo experienced estate planning and probate lawyer serving Spokane and surrounding Eastern Washington communities.

For more than 20 years, I've helped individuals and families plan for the future and navigate probate with practical, straightforward legal guidance tailored to their unique needs. As a Washington attorney, I understand that every family has different circumstances, concerns, and goals.

I founded my practice on a simple belief: you deserve direct access to your attorney. When you work with me, you work directly with me from your initial consultation through the completion of your matter. Your questions are answered by the attorney who knows your situation and understands your goals.

I also believe quality legal guidance should be accessible and provided at a reasonable fee. Where appropriate, I offer affordable legal solutions and flat-fee arrangements, giving you direct access to experienced legal counsel while providing greater clarity and transparency about your costs from the outset.
