A few months ago, I found myself in a situation I had never imagined, and it quickly became clear that I needed legal assistance. Before meeting Mr. Schiffner, I wasn't sure about whom to approach and what my next steps should be. But, after our first meeting, I felt confident and well-supported, knowing that I had someone so capable on my side. He made me feel at ease about my situation by the end of that initial consultation.
Mr. Schiffner's straightforward manner was both refreshing and reassuring. He was always ensuring that every detail was managed promptly and efficiently.
I highly recommend Mr. Schiffner to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable lawyer. I am very grateful for the outstanding help he provided during a challenging time.

When you need help, you need someone who gets crap done. And that someone is Robert.
He’s a bit of a savant in the legal industry you could say.
He knows the rules of the game and knows how to play it in his favor.
But he is also someone of good moral character and a charitable heart, which I greatly appreciate.
Just hire Robert, do what you’re told, and the odds will be in your favor.

Had an excellent experience with Len as my lawyer. Got a ticket for speeding and a criminal citation for driving without a license. He was able to get both issues dismissed and all I had to do was take a driving class. Nothing went on my record or insurance. Couldn’t have asked for a better outcome!
He communicated every step of the way. He thoroughly explained everything, even before I hired him. He had no problem answering every question that I had.

My family has had the pleasure of working with Kode Law Firm and was handled by Dey. Dey took good care of my husband when he got into a horrible collision by a drunk driver. Our experience with both the Law Firm and Dey have been amazing and super helpful as things like this can be complicated and hard to navigate but things were handled very professionally and were taken care of. I highly recommend to anyone who is need of a good Law Firm. In my opinion they are the best out there and are head on and fierce when it comes to settling and getting things done.

This law firm helped me so much so that I did not have to stress during a trying time. They were proactive and always followed up with the next steps. They were very helpful and I never had any unanswered questions either. They made the whole process stress free and my case was resolved in a timely manner. This firm also was able to effectually have me reimbursed for all my expenses and losses much more so than had I gone through this process alone.

After successfully using Kevin Nelson to navigate mental health court in the past, I employed him again to restore my firearm rights and vacate 2 felonies.

Hired Kevin based on researching reviews and boy, did he deliver. So I'm adding another "outstanding" rating to the list. When he took the case I had reason to believe he saw it as winnable even though he pointed out some obstacles to overcome. He is very professional in every way, detail oriented and organized. Long story short, got a favorable dismissal. Would strongly recommend.

Erek and his team were excellent. I had a case that was a misdemeanor and they had it reduced to a simple traffic infraction. That's almost unheard of. In fact, it saved my career. I believe 1% of cases like mine reach a Neg 2, so this is a huge win. If you're looking for a team of exceptional attorneys then Cooney Law is going to be your best option.

I am so happy I hired Erek for my case. His knowledge of the court system was an enormous help in getting me the best resolution. I was really stressed but Erek was extremely patient and responsive. His advice and experience in the Spokane courts secured an outcome which was better than I had hoped for. I shudder to think what could have happened with a run-of-the-mill attorney. I would recommend Erek to anyone who needs strong representation.

Having no experience with legal issues before, I was completely lost when I was arrested for DUI out of state. Luckily, Winnie met me at the door and within minutes had the ball rolling. Receiving a DUI from a different state as a WA resident adds an extra level of difficulty as you get to deal with two DOL's instead of just one. They were able to have my suspensions run concurrently which saved me about 6 months of time and expenses. I highly recommend them.

Katie is by far THE BEST attorney I have ever seen at work. She was very professional as well as always available and more than personable and willing to help.

Always very quick to reply and explained every scenario. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

All around amazing work. I am dealing with court for unemployment benefits I was told I shouldn't have gotten because my employer claimed that quit. I was nervous to go to court with a huge corporation. I applied for the unemployment Law group and Mr. Norman assigned to my case. He is very knowledgeable and always quick to respond. I never had to worry about what was going on with my case because if I had questions I could email and get very quick responses. I had no idea which way to go or what to do and Mr Norman just swooped right in, took control of the helm and guided me in the right direction. I went to court the first time and got a decision in my favor. They appealed it and he agreed to actually take over my case again even though he didn't have to, and we won! All around amazing attorney and I would highly recommend for a vast variety of types of court cases from criminal charges to unemployment. If you want an attorney that's on top of it, knows what he's talking about, has been doing this for a long time and is very professional? Mr Norman is the way to go! I always knew he was on my side and would answer my questions and stand by my side on that brutal day, even if we lost (which we didn't, woot woot!!). I would definitely pick this attorney again.

Last year, I found myself in legal trouble due to a poor decision and unchecked mental health issues. Initially, I faced felony charges in superior court, and in a panic, I contacted multiple attorneys. What stood out about Brandon was that he took the time to review my case without pressuring me to hire him, offering an honest consultation on what he thought would happen. Other attorneys were more focused on securing my business, with one even suggesting I might face a lengthy prison term if I didn't hire them immediately.
Fortunately, the County dropped the felony charge, but then the city filed charges. I reached out to Brandon, who agreed to represent me. Understanding my financial situation, he reduced his fees and offered a manageable payment plan. We also agreed that I should seek treatment for my mental health, and Brandon worked tirelessly with the court system to find a solution that accommodated both my needs and the court's requirements.
Though the process took some time, Brandon successfully argued for a full dismissal, despite the court's initial hesitation. The city did not object, largely due to Brandon’s strong argument. I am deeply grateful to Brandon for making this experience as stress-free as possible. Even when I experienced panic attacks and anxiety before the hearing, Brandon reassured me with his confidence and competence.
For anyone in a similar situation, I highly recommend Brandon. He takes the time to understand your case and will fight for you.

So I had gotten into a query with a big company trying to take thousands of dollars from me, I knew it wasn't right from what I had done previously to take care of this, I got a 30 minute consultation from Brandon (probably was longer) and it saved me those thousands of dollars, he was able to reasure me on the steps I took were right, able to tell me what to ask the people for quality information and point me in the right direction which led to alot of money saved. Thank you Brandon, this guy knows what he's doing!

Ms. Gause and her partner, Ms Robinette, will work tirelessly to get the truth out in defense of their client. Our son was falsely accused by his disgruntled teenage daughterof raping her. The first trial ended in a mistrial (not defended by Ms Gause). When the accuser realized how Ms. Gause would defend our son (by demanding counseling records and more), the accuser dropped all the charges. If it had not been for Ms Gause and her excellent work our son would probably be in prison now for crimes he absolutely did not commit. She kept us informed of everything she was doing in his defense and was available to us by text or phone at any time. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer.

Emily Gause and Laura Robinett are the best of the best super lawyers in Washington State.
I was falsely accused of something I did not do. Before the accusations, I was at the top of my career with great reputation. I was successful through hard work, innovation, and being kind & generous.
Unfortunately, I had the misfortune of teaching an immature ethically questionable student clinician who I caught lying, broke rules, and was late for work multiple times. When I counseled this struggling intern, she broke down, cried, and gained my sympathy. Over time, she called me her mentor and acted as though she could improve professionally and ethically. I was wrong. At the end of her training, to benefit her and her future patients, in her grading form, I wrote an honest feedback that she needed to improve professionally and ethically. She got murderously angry, but I didn’t know that she would retaliate the very next day with false accusations. She even lied to law enforcement officers.
My boss told me to go with the special agents and answer their questions.
*If law enforcement special agents want to ask you questions and accuse you of something that you did not do. Stop the interview. Tell them you want to invoke your 5th US Constitutional Rights. Then, call an attorney stat - Call Emily or Laura ASAP. If you don’t, you will be in a legal nightmare.*
Most people believe law enforcement officers are helpful and are unbiased neutral enforcers of the law, and from my experience, this is true.
However, when it comes to special agents who are trained as interviewers/interrogators, it seems, these officers will do what it takes, getting you tired, stressed out, shocking you, taking things out of context, using indirect threats, implied promises, hypothetical questions, repeatedly asking the same questions, denying your answers, cutting you off from answering, putting words that they want you to say right after asking a question, tricking you to wrongly remember, tricking you to miss speak, to get you the suspect to “go along” with their line of questioning, and much more. Then, they will write a one-sided mentally biasing report that contain only the pieces of the whole story in order to get you prosecuted.
When the human brain is in a mental shock or stressed, it cannot process information correctly. The Special Agents are trained to trigger the stress hormone in your brain. The longer you talk with them, the more likely the stress hormones will make you wrongly remember. Eventually, you will miss speak. This is self-incrimination. Fact is, the law enforcement special agents have qualified immunity when they are interviewing suspects. This means, they can legally lie to you without problems.
In my case, the interrogators used all their interrogation tactics with the guise of a neutral interview. In hindsight, I realize now, the special agents didn't care about the actual facts. They just wanted to get me to wrongly remember and miss speak in order to take things out of context to get me prosecuted. It is their job. They are good at their job.
Please note: the special agents had evidence the accuser had lied to them. But, the special agents never mentioned this fact in their investigation report. Why wouldn’t they? Remember, their job is to get subjects prosecuted. Investigators will publicly say they are supposed to be unbiased and neutral. But, from my experience, this isn’t true.
In the beginning of my case, I had incompetent prior lawyers. Only after Emily Gause and Laura Robinett took my case and pointed out to the prosecutor the non-credible evidence of the accuser and the mischaracterization of the special agent’s report, did the prosecutor offered me a guaranteed way, an SOC, to get my charge dismissed with prejudice. Emily and Laura explained all my legal options and risks, and I am grateful. I most highly recommend both Emily Gause and Laura Robinett above all other defense lawyers in Washington State.

I contacted Jack to ask for help with my Support Modification. After talking through the details and asks of the petition, Jack laid out the process in front of me to make sure I was prepared for all outcomes. The entire team quickly jumped on some immediate needs and scheduling to make sure I had the right support to put my best case in front of the judge. We had several hurdles to deal with as well as an impending trial date, but I felt like the entire team rallied around me to get me prepared. Josh and I worked together over several sessions to create a fair strategy and proactively address the key issues. In what was supposed to be my trial date, Josh quickly jumped on an issue that perhaps the judge had not reviewed key submissions and requested a continuance to make sure everything was considered. That instinct proved to be correct as the judge had not reviewed everything and while that pushed a decision out, it was the right move. I would use Jack, Josh and the entire Berner team in the future.

My family came to Jack's Law office with quite a burden on our shoulders and a lot of confusion on how best to move forward. After a few consultations we decided to move forward with his services and I can tell anyone that it is 100% the best move we could have made. We ended up requiring his representation twice and came out on top both times. While I know, and it was clearly communicated to me that there are never any guarantees, I can confidently state that were it not for Jack's thoroughness, understanding of court procedure and strong ability to communicate evidence clearly, things may have gone very different for my family. He is an individual that will tell you how it really is and absolutely fight in your corner.

Working with Dino was so easy. He took care of everything for me and all I had to do was sign some forms. He was very professional and a kind man. I didn’t even have to go to court he took care of that for me. My charge had been following me around for about 18 years and because of him I know have a freedom that I have been longing for for so long. I would recommend him to anyone.

Chris was amazing. He reviewed the facts of the case and fought for me when I needed him to. He was able to defend and win! My case was dismissed with prejudice! He was always on my side, communicated the status of where we were at, and was always available for a discussion. 5 stars to him and, if I could, I would add five more.

Personally answered my call after midnight on a Wednesday morning, I had to be in court in one week he was there, 105 miles from his office. Chris and his team got me enrolled into everything that would help my case that first weekend, continued my case till I had completed all required tasks while out with no bail. Got better results than I had hoped for. Pray that I never put myself in a situation that I every need him again, but if I do he will be my first call. Thanks again.

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.
