How It all Started
In 1985, R. Jean Addams opened Addams & Associates as a financial and tax consulting practice. In 2022, his son Michael R. Addams left state employment and opened his own law practice in Spokane, Washington. After opening, he decided to adopt the name Addams & Associates as a nod to the business his father used to operate years before. Like his father, Michael operates his practice remotely, without a brick and mortar office. In 1985, that included a dedicated phone line at home and a PO Box. Today, Michael uses a variety of digital tools to operate the practice remotely, limiting the need for travel for the practice and for clients.
