Services
Child Sex Crimes
Defending against serious child molestation, rape, and abuse allegations requires specialized legal expertise. Our firm provides strategic representation for clients facing these sensitive charges in Washington and Oregon courts. With extensive trial experience and understanding of forensic evidence, we challenge accusations while protecting clients' rights throughout legal proceedings.
DUI Defense
Handling DUI charges including vehicular assault and homicide cases demands technical knowledge of chemical testing and procedural law. We represent clients in license restoration hearings and criminal court proceedings, leveraging deep understanding of DUI defense strategies to minimize consequences and challenge evidence.
Drug Crimes
Our practice addresses possession, delivery, and manufacturing charges for controlled substances including marijuana and methamphetamine. We defend complex cases involving large-scale operations and medical marijuana provisions, challenging search and seizure legality while negotiating optimal outcomes for clients facing drug-related charges.
Domestic Violence
We represent clients accused of assault, unlawful imprisonment, and related domestic violence charges. Our defense strategy examines evidence credibility, challenges protective order applications, and addresses collateral consequences like employment impacts while maintaining aggressive courtroom advocacy when necessary.
Homicide Defense
Handling murder and manslaughter cases requires comprehensive trial preparation and forensic analysis. Our firm provides zealous representation for clients facing life-altering homicide charges, developing defense theories that challenge prosecution evidence while preparing for jury trials when plea negotiations prove insufficient.
