It's my experience and firm belief that people who need help in this area are not "criminals," they just are regular people caught up in an unfortunate situation. I practice criminal law from this perspective. My familiarity and experience with city and county courts throughout the state puts me in a unique position to provide you a quality defense. Contact me for a free initial consultation so we can discuss your case and concerns with complete confidentiality.

DUI
If you were arrested for DUI in Washington State, you need effective legal representation to see that your rights are protected. DUI convictions often are combined with other enhancements and will result in jail, loss of driving privileges, heavy fines, and a permanent criminal record. Additionally, many employers have a zero-tolerance policy regarding criminal convictions. If you are required to spend time in jail on a DUI conviction, your employer is unlikely to allow you to take time off to serve your sentence. Let me help you put this behind you.

Criminal
A crime is a violation of a specific criminal statute. The exact punishment that can be imposed upon conviction of a crime depends on the type of crime and the individual's prior criminal record.  I provide experienced and aggressive representation to people charged with a crime. I handle a broad range of misdemeanor charges through King and Pierce County.

Traffic Violations
I help Washington motorists with legal representation with the following types of Washington traffic tickets and violations: speeding tickets, red light, stop signs, carpool - hov, U-turn, no registration, no insurance, commercial driver licenses, missed court dates and equipment violations. Washington traffic court procedures can be unfamiliar to most people, which is why it can be difficult for most motorists to make a persuasive presentation to the judge. Having a lawyer represent you can dramatically increase the chances of winning the traffic case, keeping the violation off your record and reducing the fine or receiving no fine at all.
