Seattle Criminal Defense Attorney

Dedicated Solely to DUI and Criminal Defense

If you are facing a DUI or other misdemeanor or felony charges in or around Seattle, you need an attorney who will provide experienced, dedicated, and focused legal representation. Being charged with a criminal offense, whether it is drunk driving, drug possession, or a violent crime can be a life-changing experience. You will most probably be confused, upset, and anxious about what you will be facing through the courts and how the consequences will affect your life, your job or career, your finances, freedom, and future. Furthermore, you may have little understanding of the criminal justice system and how best to proceed to avoid or minimize the penalties you face.
