About the Law Office of Charlie Shane

Charlie Shane

I founded my law firm in 2010 to provide clients with compassionate, strategic, and results-driven legal support. While my primary focus has been on family law, my background of over two decades of practice spans a wide range of legal disciplines. This breadth of experience allows me to approach each family law case with a well-rounded perspective and creative problem-solving strategies.

I am committed to innovation and efficiency, always seeking new ways to streamline processes and deliver better outcomes for my clients. One of the most important philosophies I’ve adopted is to keep cases moving forward as quickly as possible. While there are times when a more measured pace is strategically beneficial, my default approach is to avoid unnecessary delays and help clients reach resolutions sooner.

I believe in treating every client with the same care and respect I would offer to family or friends—and in many cases, those relationships evolve into genuine friendships. Above all, I guarantee that I will fight hard for you.

Nicole Spafford

I am an attorney with experience as a former prosecutor, where I gained a deep understanding of the courtroom, case strategy, and the importance of clear, steady advocacy. I bring that same level of preparation and commitment to my work today, focusing on guiding clients through complex and often emotional legal matters with clarity, compassion, and confidence.

Outside of the office, I love spending time outdoors, especially hiking and exploring new trails. I also enjoy relaxing at home with my British Shorthair cat, Poe, who is always close by.

Samuel Giminiani

I began practicing law after graduating from the University of Washington School of Law in 2025. I am a submarine veteran and I currently live with my wife, daughter, and our dog Teddy in Bremerton, WA. Prior to practicing family law, I was a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney in Kitsap County, where I gained significant courtroom experience prosecuting criminal cases in District Court.

In my role as your attorney, I will apply common sense and work hard to achieve agreed resolutions quickly. I’m not afraid to take an issue to trial if need be, though — I bring a calm, confident courtroom presence that you will be happy to have in your corner. I take my obligation to protect my client’s rights and interests seriously.
