DUI Defense
Our DUI defense practice combines technical expertise with prosecutorial insight to challenge breath test accuracy, field sobriety test validity, and procedural compliance. We leverage our former prosecutor experience to identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case, from toxicology lab protocols to Breathalyzer calibration records. Our strategic approach has successfully reduced charges and secured dismissals for first-time and repeat offenders across Southwest Washington.
Domestic Violence Defense
Handling thousands of domestic violence cases from both prosecution and defense perspectives, we understand the emotional and legal complexities involved. Our team challenges no-contact orders, defends against assault allegations, and protects parental rights while navigating the unique evidentiary standards in these cases. We work to prevent employment disruption and housing instability caused by false or exaggerated accusations.
Criminal Defense
We defend against serious felony charges including drug trafficking, sex crimes, and violent offenses. Our former prosecutorial background enables us to anticipate opposing strategies and develop counter-narratives that challenge evidence admissibility and prosecutorial overreach. We handle complex cases involving forensic evidence, witness credibility issues, and constitutional violations.

Our personal injury practice focuses on maximizing compensation for clients injured through no fault of their own. We handle car accidents, slip-and-fall cases, and workplace injuries, negotiating with insurance companies while preparing for trial to ensure fair settlements. Our litigation experience strengthens our position in settlement negotiations.
