About Phebe Anna
Phebe Anna Enfield is admitted to practice in Washington and Massachusetts. She works across those jurisdictions and has built a practice around handling divorce matters through mediation. Her credentials include mediation certificates from Dispute Resolution of Thurston County and the Boston Bar Association.
Enfield’s professional life is tied to local bar activity. She is a member of the Tacoma Pierce County Bar Association and participates in the TCPBA Family Law Section. Those connections keep her engaged with colleagues who practice family law in the Tacoma area and help her stay current on procedural and local developments that affect mediated outcomes.
Her training in divorce mediation informs how she handles cases. She brings formal mediation credentials to sessions that can involve asset division, parenting plans and settlement talks. She prefers methods that allow parties to control outcomes rather than having decisions imposed by a court. That is central to her practice: guiding discussions, framing options and helping both sides explore workable agreements.
Practicing in two states shapes the work she accepts. Cases that cross state lines require attention to differing statutes and timelines. Being licensed in both Washington and Massachusetts allows her to advise clients about how a mediated agreement will be implemented where they live. It also means she can work with counsel in either jurisdiction when matters require coordination between courts or filings.
Enfield’s standard approach is collaborative and practical. She prepares parties for mediation through straightforward explanation of process and likely next steps if mediation does not resolve the dispute. In sessions she focuses on clarity, keeping issues discrete so that decisions can be made on specific items. When necessary, she draws on mediation training to manage impasses and propose settlement frameworks for consideration.
Outside the mediation room, she relies on the professional network she has developed through bar association membership. Those relationships help when cases involve local practice questions or when a client needs referrals. Her certifications from Dispute Resolution of Thurston County and the Boston Bar Association remain central to how she markets her skillset and directs her continuing education.
She currently practices divorce mediation in Washington and Massachusetts and continues to work with clients seeking negotiated resolutions in family law matters.
