Kennewick-based family law team joins Gravis Law, preserving trusted local services while adding resources and support to clients across Benton, Franklin, and Walla Walla counties.
RICHLAND, Wash. — Sep. 1, 2026 — Gravis Law today announced that Purcell Law, PLLC, a Kennewick-based family law firm serving the Tri-Cities and surrounding communities since 2016, has joined Gravis Law.
The addition strengthens Gravis Law’s family law capabilities across Benton, Franklin, and Walla Walla counties while ensuring Purcell Law clients continue to receive the personalized, local representation they know and trust.
Purcell Law is led by Mathew Purcell, a family law attorney licensed in Washington and California. Throughout his career, Purcell has focused exclusively on family law and has earned a reputation for thoughtful advocacy, practical guidance, and a commitment to helping clients understand their options during difficult transitions.
Purcell earned his Bachelor of Arts in Law and Justice, cum laude, from Central Washington University and graduated from Ventura College of Law with a Family Law Certification. Early in his career, he clerked in the Family Law Department of the Ventura County Superior Court and served as a Court Appointed Settlement Officer for the court’s Family Law Department. After returning to Washington, Purcell helped found the Benton Franklin Collaborative Family Law Group, presented at continuing legal education programs, served as president of the Benton Franklin County Bar Association Young Lawyers Division, and served as a Judge Pro Tempore for Benton and Franklin County Superior Courts.
“Welcoming Purcell Law deepens our commitment to serving families throughout the Tri-Cities and surrounding communities,” said Brett Spooner, Founder and CEO of Gravis Law. “Mathew and his team have built meaningful trust through knowledgeable, compassionate service. Their local roots, family law experience, and commitment to client education make them an exceptional fit for Gravis Law.” Purcell and his team will continue serving clients in the community, now with the added support of Gravis Law’s broader team, technology, and resources. The transition is designed to provide continuity for existing clients while expanding the support available to families navigating divorce, legal separation, child custody, adoption, and other family law matters.
“For nearly a decade, our team has been committed to being a steady, trusted resource for families during some of life’s most challenging moments,” said Mathew Purcell. “Joining Gravis Law allows us to continue that work while giving our clients access to additional resources and a broader team of support. I am excited about what this means for our clients, our team, and the community we serve.”
As part of Gravis Law, Purcell will also have opportunities to mentor and support attorneys across the firm’s growing family law practice, sharing the experience and perspective he has developed through years of focused family law work.
The addition reflects Gravis Law’s approach to intentional growth: building on trusted local relationships while expanding access to high-quality legal guidance.
