Our DUI defense practice combines prosecutorial insight with aggressive advocacy to challenge evidence and reduce charges. We handle all aspects of DUI cases including blood alcohol testing challenges, license reinstatement, and court representation. Clients benefit from our deep understanding of Washington State's DUI laws and proven strategies for case dismissals or charge reductions.
Drug Crimes
We defend against all drug-related charges including possession, trafficking, and manufacturing. Our approach examines law enforcement procedures, search warrant validity, and evidence handling to identify defense opportunities. We leverage experience with Washington's drug sentencing guidelines to negotiate reduced penalties or alternative sentencing options for eligible clients.
Domestic Violence
Our domestic violence defense focuses on protecting clients' rights while addressing the complexities of these charges. We challenge protective order violations, contest evidence credibility, and work to prevent long-term consequences like firearm restrictions. We also help clients navigate related family court proceedings and rehabilitation programs.

We provide strategic defense for felony charges including robbery, assault, and sex crimes. Our approach includes early case intervention, witness investigation, and plea negotiation when appropriate.
