A note from us

Since 1994 we've represented people accused of crimes — day in and day out, in courtrooms all over Washington. We've built our reputation, among other lawyers, on being very good at it.

When you call, you get one of us. We give our clients our cell numbers, we get back to you the same day, and we promise to tell you the truth about your case — even when it isn't what you'd hoped to hear. If anything, we're known for being too straightforward.

And we won't hard-sell you. Choosing a lawyer is a big decision, and one you should make carefully — not under pressure. If we're the right fit, we'll fight hard for you. If we're not, you have every right to find an attorney who is.

Jason is a seasoned trial attorney with a reputation for taking difficult cases to trial.

Real results go here.

We'd rather show three or four of the firm's actual outcomes — with the required “past results don't guarantee future outcomes” notice — than invent generic ones. Geoff: a few real dispositions (charge, county, outcome) and this section becomes real.
