Brian has been a guiding light in our case. He put more time and effort into helping us than we could have hoped for. Communication with him left no questions unanswered and removed stress. Putting our trust in him was the wisest decision we made in this process.

Arin is what you look for in a lawyer. Someone who understands the legal risks but also knows how to propose a path forward for both parties. Arin helped me with a complex multinational employment agreement in the tech field. He was responsive, thorough, and took the time to explain the the legal reality.

You are in good hands with Arin, he has been a part of cases that permanently changed how the IRS handles certain practices with business owners all across the US. I highly recommend him if you are looking for someone who gives you personalized attention.

Philip is an amazing attorney. He got me the result I was hoping for. There's not enough room for me to tell of all the good he's done. He's an excellent attorney, knows how to present the defense, smart, and kind. He goes the extra distance. He helped me thoroughly. He's done more for me in this one case than several others have done before, combined. Amazing Attorney and person.

Hired him after I got stuck with a horrible public defender. Phil took the case to trial and won. I was acquitted. He did a good job showing that the police and district attorney were biased and lying

Mr. Ard handled a family law matter for me and did so exceptionally well. He was able to get the case dismissed and did so with class and grace. He did not have a fixed mindset and demonstrated excellent capabilities to think and speak effectively on his feet.

It was great working with Mr. Carley, very satisfied with his service. He went to extra mile for my brother and took time out to make sure he understood everything before making his final decision. We would definitely recommend him.

Hiring Mr. Carley was one of the best decisions I've made after making one of the worst choices. I've never been put in a situation where I needed representation and it was nerve racking and intimidating. Tom gave me a free consultation. Was thorough, responsive and easy to talk to. He never made me feel like a jerk, though I was very much so feeling like one. He had incredible response times to questions and updates via email, text, and calls. He has strong command of both the law and the next steps through each phase. He gave me peace of mind in a troubling situation. He always made me feel like I was important and validated. Not once in the months together did I feel like I was interrupting him or he was too busy for any question. I hope I don't have to use his services again, but wouldn't hesitate to reaching out or refererring him to a friend or family member if I do. Can't thank him enough.

I originally went through UpRightLaw and do payments for my bankruptcy. I kept in touch with the attorney after my money was transferred to him. Due to unforeseen circumstances, that caused me to put this on the back burner, I didn’t file or complete the bankruptcy process (health issues and unexpected family death). I contacted him today and he said I would have to start everything all over again, including the payment since it’s been archived cause it’s been over a year. I wouldn’t be filing for bankruptcy if I could afford the payment twice.

Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with. This being our first time experiencing bankruptcy he made it as simple as possible. He was ready and available to answer any and all questions at any time. My husband and I were very anxious not knowing what to expect but with Steve as our lawyer we were able to complete the process with ease. We are so happy we found Steve and hope to not need his services again in the future but in case we do we will definitely be using him again! Thank you Steve for your help in securing a fresh start for our future.

I was honored having Stephanie representing me in West District court, very courteous, knowledgeable in all areas, and even amazed presiding Judge on points of law later told by J. BAKER.
I was amazed how fast she responded to messages left, asked the right questions and better than expected precise answers to all parties concerned.
To the ownership of this office, I'd like to warn you, this Lady is going far, don't let this asset walk away is all I can say.
Ms. Stephanie,
Thank you, I look forward to chatting again with your amazing zeal! (Just not in a courtroom greatly appreciated, lol)

To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Nathan Peterson, as testimony to an exceptional attorney who played an invaluable role in my family law case I was suffering with for numerous years. After struggling for 12 long years with a burdensome back child support arrearage issue related to an unjust daycare error by the other party. Mr. Peterson came into my life and turned my situation around with remarkable efficiency. Within just 10 minutes of our initial consultation, Mr. Peterson dissected my problem and assured me he could help resolve it. His keen understanding of the intricacies of family law and the criminal justice system gave me instant confidence in his abilities. He not only articulated the specific details of my case with clarity but also strategized a refreshing approach to tackle the longstanding challenge that had been affecting my life. Mr. Peterson’s demeanor is impressively low-key, which belies the fierce tenacity he exhibits in the courtroom. His professionalism and confidence are evident every time he presents an argument. He articulates his points clearly and concisely, ensuring that even the most complex legal concepts are easily understood. This proficiency enables him to advocate effectively for his clients, making him a formidable force in any legal battle. If you find yourself facing a family law matter or a high-profile divorce, I cannot recommend Mr. Peterson highly enough. He is an exceptional litigator and a sharp shooter in the courtroom. His expertise and steadfast commitment to his clients make him the ideal attorney to have by your side as you navigate the trenches of the legal system.
Thank you for considering Mr. Nathan Peterson for your legal needs. I am confident that he will exceed your expectations as he did for me. And if you have doubts just give me a call and I can assure you that you’re in good hands. Mr. Nathan Peterson treated me with dignity and respect, on such a delicate matter as mine was. US Veteran / Law Enforcement friendly.
Sincerely,
Alex Peraza-Gonzalez
US Army Combat Veteran
P.S : To Mr. Peterson and his staff, thank you for all you have accomplished on my behalf. I am sincerely grateful for your service to me on this case.

Had Courtney Mendoza as my lawyer. Was a full time stay at home mom with a full time working dad. I said I would rather not get divorced if custody was anything close to equal split, and was in tears saying I think I was being gaslighted, but not sure how much. Went to court and she encouraged me to not submit evidence in order to not show our hand. Well, 2 years later, you get your opportunity. File for separation if you want to keep your custody or you may find the courts stacked to redirect parenting time to 50/50 regardless of any parenting issues or whatever you built your kids' lives upon--it won't be enough to overpower their desire for shared parenting.

Nathan and his team were such a huge help during what ended up being a 2 year fight. They make time to actually listen to your concerns and answer questions in a professional but compassionate way. They are responsive and always make sure to keep the case on track. Family courts can be a scary and anxiety provoking thing to navigate, but Nathan and his team are there to help. I cannot recommend this firm enough.

*** DON'T HIRE THIS FIRM!!!*** I made a huge mistake in hiring this firm. They placed my case with an LLLT within the firm. It was explained to me that she would be doing paperwork and I would be represented in court by one of the lawyers in the firm. The LLLT didn't file the proper paperwork and the lawyer that was supposed to represent me said I never hired him. They made so many mistakes. Their mistakes cost me my family and over $10k with a good lawyer undoing everything they messed up. I currently have an open review with the Washington State Bar Association against this firm for its failure in my case. Run as fast as you can away from this firm.

Over the years Michael has helped my family and I with numerous legal proceedings from criminal defence to family law. Im ashamed it's taken me this long to leave a review, Michael knows what he's doing and really helps to make sure you know what's going on every step of the way. I've always left his office with a real scense of comfort and understanding, he really is a straight shooter and won't stear you wrong! He's an excellent attorney and all around great guy that takes alot if pride in his work I wouldn't recommend or go anywhere else!

Michael reviewed my case (DV4), laid out my options, provided his advice and I took it. He met me in person, walked me through the process and was diligent with each appearance in court. He was well-spoken with the judge and eloquently communicated the facts of the case. I felt confident and hopeful throughout the entire process, which ended in the outcome we both had hoped for.
What impressed me the most about Michael were his connections. He seemed to know everyone in the court room, and gets along with them, and that bodes well for his clients.
I strongly endorse Michael Green as a Criminal defense attorney.

Robert Russell and his office were spectacular. I would hands down hire him again and highly recommend his office. He thoroughly outlined the process and what was to be expected. He is a straight shooter, to the point, and very professional. He is a great communicator and listener. He called me on time for every phone call we had scheduled, he was prompt in responding to my emails. He followed up with me timely and immediately let me know the results of my case when they were available to him. I am very pleased with the outcome as it was just as he expected it to be. He was highly compassionate and caring about my case and situation. Hands down the best lawyer I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

Steven took my Superior Court Case back in May 2012, I was looking at 6 charges total by the state, 3 of them being serious felonies facing me at 12 years minimum. I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE! Steven did not keep intouch with me allot, he only kept me informed when something changed, this was only because he was doing his job... he was fighting for me, not to mention he doesnt like to BS with clients, he's a hard worker, straight to the fighting facts. So in the end I got slapped with 4 months House Arrest over a 12 year sentence... even with my priors thanks to Steven. If i ever had anymore problems in the future i would personally pay the money to hire Steven again.

If you find yourself in a legal situation irregardless of whether you are innocent or guilty. The absolute most important decision of your life is which attorney is going to represent you.
Johnny ‘sure shot’ McMullen has an impeccable reputation amongst his peers, including all the judges and prosecutors in Clark County.
He is absolutely the best. There is no need for you to worry about wasting your time consulting with anyone else.

I knew the first time I met Jon that he believed in what he does and that there would not be a better attorney. He is always available and willing to discuss all of the options. He is honest and always tells people what they need to know not what they want to know. Jon is worth every penny. He will fight for you and your rights and works very well with all of the prosecutors to ensure that you get the best possible deal.

Absolutely could not ask for a better lawyer. Jon not only gets the job done, but he is extremely passionate about what he does. This is a lawyer that's not all about money, he truly looks out for the best interest of his clients and his reputation as one of the best, if not THE BEST defense attorneys you can find. He's a straight shooter that tells you the truth instead of what you want to hear, and I think the rest of the legal system respects this very integrity giving him the upper hand with negotiations within. He remembered the littlest details I told him about my case months prior and used them to our advantage, his mind is like a steel trap! The only time he can't be reached is when he's giving another client the same undivided attention you would hope he gives you, and for such a busy man he gets back to you right away every time. I've went the cheap route before but know now that Jon is worth every penny every time, and can't imagine trusting another attorney with my cases like I trust Jon.

She listens and takes time to understand all the details and helped me come up with a very specific strategy that gave me better results that I would have ever expected.

Chelsey was referred to me for my highly contentious divorce, and I couldn't be more satisfied. She is incredibly personable and empathetic. From our first consultation, she helped me to feel like I could go through this without losing all of my savings or my sanity. She was timely with her communication, transparent with the progress of my case, honest, and very conscientious with my funds. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

I met with Brooke to consult with on my dissolution case (divorce). She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and very easy to talk to. She explained legal terms and deadlines in a way in which I could understand them. I never left an appointment without all of my questions answered. In addition, I appreciated her being accessible via email to answer some questions that did not warrant a meeting with her. I recommend Brooke entirely and appreciate her making the process as easy as it could be.

Told him my expectations and my 4 issues. He was happy to charge me thousands of dollars to always seem to forget that there was more than just one thing to take care of. When I would ask about the other items that he assured me about, he would become condescending and short with me. Didn’t follow thru on the two most important items, and then hindered me from getting the job done myself. His secretary informed me that I could do something on my own to save money then Chris took it away and threw it into the court system which in turn foiled my almost completed task that would have netted me over 25,000 dollars. Now I have nothing but paper “judgements” when I could have gotten my own money . Would NOT answer direct questions and does not keep user friendly invoices to see where your money went. He DOES NOT answer your emails in a timely manner, if at all, yet charges for each email you send. DO NOT RECOMMEND

I was referred to Chris Sundstrom by my divorce attorney who had retired. I had been served contempt of court papers when my spousal support ended at retirement. Chris did a great job and was everything you could ask in representation: efficient, dedicated to my case, on top of my case and very fair in all charges. I wouldn't use anyone else.

His website specifically says he is compassionate and will fight for you! My experience with Chris and Stacy is completely the opposite! If he doesnt feel like meeting with you he will absolutely NOT meet with you or take your call, period! It doesnt matter if you desperately need him. He beats to his own drum. By that I mean he will absolutely NOT inform you of all your legal rights, rather how he wants to control you as his client and the outcome of the case as he sees fit not according to your wishes even if its within your right! He will fight with you rather than for you, that was my personal experience. He was definitely not compassionate in my case whatsoever. I say that because he will threaten to withdraw when you are vulnerable and relying on him completely. He took advantage of me being vulnerable and ultimately settling just to get him out of my life. If you want someone that will hold your hand, he absolutely will definitely NOT do so. Ask him how many times he has been divorced before you ever think of hiring him. He had a absolutely no problem taking my money but NEVER fought for me like he fights for himself to get your money.

Alyosha McClain represented me when i was charged with felony assault, he was good with his communication and explained the whole process and anything i had questions with and even though I wasn’t his only client he always made time for me and took my case serious and showed he genuinely cared aboutmy situation as if i was his only
client. When it was time for trial he was very professional and got all charges dropped I appreciate everything he did for me and would highly recommend his law practice to anyone. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Mr. McClain thank you so much.

*** DON'T HIRE THIS FIRM!!!*** I made a huge mistake in hiring this firm. They placed my case with an LLLT within the firm. It was explained to me that she would be doing paperwork and I would be represented in court by one of the lawyers in the firm. The LLLT didn't file the proper paperwork and the lawyer that was supposed to represent me said I never hired him. They made so many mistakes. Their mistakes cost me my family and over $10k with a good lawyer undoing everything they messed up. I currently have an open review with the Washington State Bar Association against this firm for its failure in my case. Run as fast as you can away from this firm.

Originally met Laura for my friends 30 minutes consultation right off she was extremely helpful we actually ended up being there for about an hour and a half free of charge and she helped her complete all of the paperwork and make sure that she had the right papers. I was so pleased personally with how she had handled it that when circumstances arose for myself I hired her right off the bat I would definitely recommend her and we'll definitely go back if ever needed. Thank you

Laura did a great job on our child support, parenting plan, and all family matters. She was excellent at arguing in the court. She was very knowledgable. We had 3 lawyers prior to her and she was most certainly the best. We have since moved out of the area and really miss having her as our lawyer. It has been hard to find a lawyer as good as her. On the other hand her paralegal is an idiot. The paralegal constantly got things messed up and we did have to go over all of her work to be sure it was correct. So be sure to check her work.

If you choose this guy and get screwed around remember it's not because I didn't tell you so. I paid this guy $3,000 cash up front in full to represent me on my first DUI. I am 42 years old I had a perfect driving record prior to this. I was involved in a accident with myself and no other vehicles which resulted in my situation at hand. I hired this guy under recommendation from a pastor at my church who is over the AA ministry. The first time I met with him he sold me a great story about how it was all about finding weak points in the process that they used wow incarcerating me the night of the accident sounded great to me. At that time I informed him that I had a CDL driver's license and that I would love to be able to keep it. Also that I had a 13-year-old child that I am the single father of and have no one to keep her so I can't really do any jail time. He told me don't worry you won't be going to jail we'll get this if nothing else drop down to something less than a DUI. The case resulted with me losing my CDL. Having to do a class. $4800 in legal fees and fines. And a 90-day suspension on my license. But wait that was only the beginning after a year of going back and forth allowing my case to get switched around to multiple prosecutors he ended up settling for a deal that left me with a DUI conviction. I have to serve one day in jail. I have to have SR22 insurance. And I have to have a interlocker on my car for a yr. Now here's the messed up part when I was in court in the judge mentioned something about an interlocker he told me don't worry about it you already took care of that so I was under the impression that I was only supposed to have it for the 90 days of the suspension. After court come to find out I was supposed to have the interlocker the whole time I have been riding around breaking the law for a year and he never even told me that I was supposed to have this on my car. I have been riding all around the state of Washington with my family not knowing that if I got pulled over I will be sent to jail for automatic 30-day sentence. When I asked him about this after court he said don't worry you're moving out of the state anyway so you won't have to worry about the interlocker or anything that has to do with your Washington license. Today I got a paper from Missouri saying that my Missouri license that I don't even have and suspended for 30 days followed by a 60-day restriction. And that I need to get the interlocker put on my car in Missouri as well. Now I don't know what kind of lawyer you're looking for but if you're looking for one that is knowledgeable of the law. Or if you are looking for a lawyer that is not willing to tell you anything to get you to cooperate with scheme he is concocting then pick Aaron Richie. Oh yeah not to mention six points on my Missouri license that I don't even have!! WORST LAWYER EVER!!!
I told u not to pick this guy!!

It won't let me put negative or no stars !!! I don't know where to start about how bad of an attorney this guy really is. I'll start by saying he gave me a price and I paid him in full thinking that that would get me the best representation. Boy was I wrong. The first time I met with the guy we sat down in his office I explained to him that I had a CDL and that I would like to keep it he told me he understood. Upon going on to the next phase I realized that my CDL license had been suspended when I asked him about it he said oh I didn't even know you had a CDL how does your lawyer not know that you have a CDL license strike one. Next he told me that I would not be seeing any jail time seeing as it was my first offense and I have never been pulled over or had any interactions with the law the entire 10 years I have been living in Washington. But when it comes time after a year of telling me we're setting it back so we can get it worked out we're setting it back so we can get it worked out. He comes and tells me that he needs me to do 24 hours in jail or 15 days on house arrest not to mention five years bench probation and over $1,000 in fines. When I went to his office and he opened my file not only did he not remember ever meeting me in person there were other people's paperwork in my file folder. Throughout the case I always had to call him to find out what was going to be happening at a court date he never called me to update me or have me on point about what we were going to be doing on court days. Just pretty sloppy all around. Not to mention the final play in court when they ask something and I didn't think it was correct he told me don't worry about it and then after court was like there's nothing we can do now. In other words I would conclude that this is the worst attorney I've ever had he came by recommendation. I am definitely going to go back and let the person who recommended him to me how poor of a job he did. I would not recommend this makeshift attorney to represent me or anybody I know.
So if you go forward and use this guy this joker know that you were warned by one dissatisfied client.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
