Stephen Monro Male • United States of America
Stephen Monro is an attorney in Washington State with long-standing experience in law, construction, and real estate. He founded several firms, including the Monro Law Firm and Platinum Law Group, and is admitted to every court in Washington, including both federal districts. His additional licenses as a general contractor, real estate broker, and IRS preparer allow him to support clients with a broad mix of technical and legal knowledge.
Stephen was born in Seattle in 1952 and completed his undergraduate studies at Central Washington University, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree. He later obtained his Juris Doctor from City University in Los Angeles and eventually returned for a Master of Business Administration. Earlier in life, he served in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam era, where discipline, teamwork, and pressure-tested leadership became lasting parts of his character.
Since beginning legal practice in 1996, Stephen has represented clients statewide and appeared in both state and federal courts. He is actively involved with the Washington State Bar Association, the Washington State Association for Justice, and the American Association for Justice. His hands-on construction and real estate background inform cases involving sites, contracts, property boundaries, and transactions, enabling him to analyze disputes with practical insight.
Beyond litigation, Stephen offers mediation services at a fair and reasonable cost, concluding most cases without trial. His IRS credential allows him to prepare a variety of tax filings for clients who need additional guidance. For more than twenty-five years, he has provided pro bono representation for individuals who cannot afford legal help. Many face urgent housing or financial issues, and Stephen ensures each receives careful attention, clear explanations, and reliable advocacy.
Away from professional responsibilities, Stephen Monro values outdoor stewardship, family, and animal care. He enjoys fishing across rivers and lakes in the Pacific Northwest, camping with family throughout the region, and caring for horses, including rescues that require patience and steady daily work. He supports responsible land use and the preservation of wildlife habitats. Stephen and his wife are nearing their fiftieth wedding anniversary, and that long-term family foundation reinforces his dedication to service, consistency, and community involvement.
