Legal Services & Lawyers

I developed a reputation with judges and colleagues as an aggressive, thoroughly prepared prosecutor. After rapidly becoming one of the most highly respected trial lawyers for the Seattle City Attorney's office I went into private practice. I then spent five years defending DUIs, and I am one of the most thoroughly trained DUI attorneys in Washington. Please contact me if you are looking for an aggressive DUI defense.

I have been practicing law in Western Washington since 1997. Since my first day of practice my area of emphasis has been DUI law. My first few years of practice were as a Prosecuting Attorney then in 2001 I moved to private practice representing those accused of the crime. Since 2004 I have only practiced this law. My knowledge in this area is immense and has been helped by my work in completing the book, "The DUI Handbook for the Accused" in 2007. I have two more books being printed in 2009, "The DUI Handbook for Lawyers" and "Driving Under the Influence-A Brief History."
I believe in thorough and aggressive representation of my clients. I also believe that our representation goes beyond just the court appearances and DOL hearings. We help to facilitate alcohol evaluations, treatment or alcohol classes (whichever is deemed necessary), the DUI Victim's Panel, and any else that may be required. It is my staff's objective to make this process as smooth as it can possibly be.
Experience. Knowledge. Aggressive Representation. These are the cornerstones of my practice.

I am a Seattle DUI attorney and Seattle criminal attorney dedicated to helping you get the best results for your case possible. We will investigate your case, listen to your side of the story and work every angle to get you the results you deserve.
