Stacey Romberg, Attorney at Law

A Seattle firm with a long operating record

In 1999, Stacey Romberg founded the firm and began serving clients in North Seattle and nearby areas. Her work centers on probate, estate planning, and business law. Those fields have remained the stated focus of the firm.

Romberg was among the first Seattle attorneys to run a virtual law firm. She maintained a home office and rented conference room space when clients needed to meet in person. The firm now keeps client files digitally, uses a mail center, and has access to a conference room in the Ballard area.

In my opinion, the website explains this working model with useful precision. A prospective client can understand that the firm operates virtually while retaining a place for in-person meetings. The arrangement also has a documented history that dates to the firm's founding.

Estate planning in concrete terms

The firm's estate planning work includes a defined set of documents. It drafts wills, revocable living trusts, general durable powers of attorney, and durable powers of attorney for health care. It also prepares health care directives, community property agreements, memorial instructions, and related estate planning documents.

This list gives prospective clients a direct way to compare their needs with the firm's stated services. The financial and health care powers of attorney receive separate treatment. That distinction makes the scope easier to understand for people planning for both financial decisions and medical decisions.

Wills, trusts, and personal instructions

Wills and revocable living trusts form part of the firm's planning work. Community property agreements also appear among the available documents. Memorial instructions address another part of a client's plan and sit alongside the documents that govern property and decision-making.

These services connect closely with the firm's probate and trust administration work. The same team handles planning documents and assists people who later carry out estate or trust duties. As a reviewer, that connection is one of the clearest features of the firm's stated focus.

Probate and trust administration

The firm represents personal representatives and beneficiaries in probate matters. Its website expressly covers both routine and complex probates. It also helps with smaller estates that do not require a probate proceeding.

That description identifies two different forms of estate work. Some clients may need representation during probate, while others may need help administering a smaller estate outside that process. The firm states that it assists with each type.

Work with trustees and beneficiaries

Trust administration is another identified service. The firm represents trustees who have duties to carry out after a trust becomes active. It also represents beneficiaries who have an interest in the administration of a trust.

The probate and trust services cover the people responsible for administration as well as the people who receive property. This gives the firm a defined role on either side of an estate or trust matter. The website names those client groups directly.

Business services for owners and companies

Corporations and limited liability companies form a central part of the firm's business work. The firm helps clients establish these entities and maintain them after formation. Business formation is therefore paired with ongoing entity work.

Contracts and ownership arrangements

The firm prepares template contracts for business clients. It also develops buy sell agreements, which can address future changes in business ownership. These services focus on documents that a company may use in its regular operations or during a change among owners.

Commercial lease work includes both review and negotiation. That stated scope is more precise than lease review alone because it includes direct work on proposed terms. The service can apply when a business is considering or revising a commercial tenancy.

Sales and succession

The firm handles the purchase and sale of businesses. It also works on business succession planning. These matters concern ownership transfers and plans for the future control of a company.

The business services fit into several distinct groups: entity formation and maintenance, contracts, ownership agreements, commercial leases, company sales, and succession planning. Each group appears expressly on the firm's website. The descriptions identify legal tasks rather than relying on broad claims about business representation.

How the legal team is built

Stacey Romberg holds the title of Principal Attorney. Her listed work covers all three of the firm's main fields. Her role also includes the firm's founding in 1999 and the development of its virtual operating model.

Lisa Vargo works in a Senior Counsel capacity. The firm states that she collaborates with Romberg on legal issues for clients. That description gives Vargo a defined working relationship with the firm's principal attorney.

Marisa Russell appears on the website with the title of Attorney. The firm also identifies Andrea Logan as a team member in a separate listing from its support staff. Paralegals and legal assistants support the attorneys.

What the record shows

The firm presents a focused set of legal services tied to personal planning, estate administration, and business ownership. Its estate planning page names the documents it prepares. Its probate, trust, and business descriptions also identify the parties and transactions involved.

The virtual structure is a documented part of the firm's identity and has been in use since its early years. Digital client files support that model, while the Ballard-area conference room provides a location for meetings. The firm has served North Seattle and surrounding areas since 1999.
