Blake Harris was able to help my family out of a pretty scary situation where my family was being sued because of something that wasn’t our fault. It was such a stressful time and Blake was always calm walking us through each step and able to answer any questions we had right away. It didn’t take long before Blake was able to get the case dropped!

We won! Me and my family had successfully won a case with the immense help from Blake H. It was a pleasure working along with him, he gave my family hope when we felt so hopeless in regards to a protection order. He was very communicative and considerate about the process and had the patience of an angel in regards to explaining things to my parents who only spoke Spanish. We are blessed to have had him represent us in court and we thank him for everything.

I recently worked with David and Carly for my divorce case. Their communication was professional and timely, his rates were reasonable, and he represented me well in the way I wanted to be represented, while also looking out for my well-being. David consistently took the high-road whenever given the choice to go low. David holds himself with high integrity in his work.

I hired David Braswell as my attorney while going through my separation, which turned into a divorce, and needed a parenting plan, child support, etc. He took the time to respond to any questions I had or expressed concerns about and help me understand the legal process. He accurately forecasted how my situation would result and that helped me mentally and emotionally. He updated me regularly with any changes. Overall I found David to be very easy to communicate with, professional, knowledgeable, and sympathetic.

Travis is a great man, may come off as harsh but only for you to understand what needs to be done. He is honest, smart and knowledgeable and if I could afford him I wouldn’t think twice before having him be my attorney.

Having a great experience with a lawyer sounds like an oxymoron. However, that is the truth. Expert advice, quick, thorough, and most of all HONEST!! He ensured my charges were dropped and listened to the whole person, my whole story treated me with dignity and was honest when it came to fair pricing for services. Excellent Lawyer!!! Recommend to anyone especially for domestic violence, and you better listen to everything he tells you to do.

First off let me say I have never been so scared in my life as when I got arrested and charged with two felonies. What's worst of all is the crimes I was accused of I did not commit. I was facing five years behind bars minimum. I was given a public defender which I didn't hear from at all for a whole week. Thus starting my quest to find a good lawyer.
I needed to find a lawyer I felt confident would represent me well. I went to seven different lawyers accompanied by my brother, before speaking to Mr. Graves. I heard all similar things from the seven previous lawyers. They all seemed more interested in getting paid then proving my innocence. My first meeting with Mr. Graves we spoke for about two hours about my options and what his plan of attack would be. I felt very comfortable in his skills, ability and experience. My brother who accompanied me during this process felt Mr. Graves was the best for the job.
My case dragged on for almost a year and each step of the way Mr. Graves kept me updated. He was very prepared for different scenarios that might have risen and gathered as much information about the case as he could. After almost a whole year of dealing with my case it ended with a dismissal! I could not have been more joyous and relieved and I owed it all to Daryl Graves. If your looking for a lawyer with grit and honesty Mr graves is someone highly worth considering. Lastly, on a personal note, I was very impressed with him not only as a lawyer but as a human being.

I found myself being Stalked, Libeled & Slandered, etc. by some mentally disturbed and jealous abusive people so I hired Eric to handle my case. With his vast legal experience and knowledge he navigated the court system and achieved the results we wanted. I strongly recommend Eric to handle any legal issues and I am so happy I found him. He's in court alot and unavailable but returns calls as soon as possible. Eric is trustworthy and dependable and his fee is reasonable too.

Hire Natalie she is amazing!!!
I ran the gamut of attorneys before finding Natalie and honestly I was getting quite discouraged. I spoke to leagues of highly recommended and sought after attorneys who have clear reputations for winning cases like this, and I can tell you that I was more impressed with Natalie in the first two minutes of our conversation than with any of the other professionals, even the ones with over 21 years of experience. I have heard many people complain that once retained, attorneys become less communicative and less responsive. Natalie was the opposite, she was fully committed to doing everything she could to help and keep me updated on the case. I talked to her a number of times after normal business hours and even met with her on a Sunday to work on the case. Natalie is the kind of attorney you pray has time for your case. She is honest, ethical, compassionate, knowledgeable, supportive, connected, and encouraging. Her guidance was completely on par and she delivered on everything she said she was going to do. I cannot say enough good things about Natalie. She will always be at the top of my list of attorneys to call if needed.

With little to no introduction, Natalie came on board and did more for us than over the course of time that has been done within her control in less than 2 hrs. She was presented with a case and took it on as her own, with every intention to get us the help we needed! I am in the military and had less than five days before I had to be away for training, with a little faith that things would work out in our favor. With her persistence and drive she made miracles happen. She stood firm, went in with an offer and kept on her end of the deal. I couldn't stop thanking her enough for what she did; we were so thankful for all her efforts. If ever in a jam ever again, in state or out of state, I will definitely be calling on Natalie to be my representation!

Senator was very very awesome he stayed in contact with me, always filled me in on what was going on work and took the time to actually listen to me. I was being charged with several criminal charges and he had them all drop down to one ticket non-criminal. He was able to convince the prosecutor to actually look at my case and use common sense and with his hard work, my case resulted into a ticket I'm very pleased with him and his firm so if you need help here's your man and thank you senator for helping me and my family out

Austin is a very knowledgeable and a very reliable attorney. He knows exactly what he is doing. He is approachable and so easy to get along with. I was so scared after receiving a letter to appear in court, but felt at ease after meeting him the first time. My case got dismissed on my arraignment day! I told him he is my lucky charm! And for that, I highly recommend hiring him as your lawyer!!

I have nothing but great things to say about John Doherty. He has helped me with two cases and both times I came out better than I had ever expected.

I recommend John Doherty anytime anyone I know needs an attorney or even just legal advice. He is simply the best!

I was charged with a felony offense last year that I was not guilty of. I consulted with John and he felt that he could help me so I hired him. Before court John explained exactly what was going to happen and made me feel as comfortable. He met with the prosecutor and explained my position. At the next hearing John had me bring some documentation with me. He showed me some cases he had researched and explained why my case should be dismissed. Before our next hearing, the prosecutor had called John and told him that the case was going to be dismissed. I can't tell you how happy I was that I hired John.

Ross continues to be my go to attorney for traffic defense. He consistantly wins in the different jurisdictions that I have been sited in. From speeding to parking infractions, it doesn't matter what I bring him he wins! His track record is 100% in my book. I would send all my friends and family members to Ross for legal representation.

Ross defended me on a gun charge involving a road rage incident. The prosecutor was non-negotiable on reducing or dismissing the charges lodged against me after defending myself during a road rage incident. Ross demolished the credibility of the "victim" and clearly presented my side of the story
resulting in a quick and unanimous not guilty jury verdict. I'd highly recommend Ross he was well prepared, knew the law and expertly navigated the legal system which I found to be biased against gun owners.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the way Michael Clark and his incredible team handled my case. From start to finish, he made the process smooth and stress-free, allowing me to place full trust in his expertise.

Derek is smart and aggressive. James is calculated and calm, which gives their firm an almost perfect balance. Danely is very polite and communicative. There wasn’t one time that I reached out and didn’t get a reply or an answer.
Derek is transparent and communicates efficiently. He really cares about his clients and who he represents. Although I didn’t get the exact results I wanted (based on a decision I made) I feel that we still got a pretty good offer from the prosecutor (charges will eventually be dismissed) and I’m very happy with their service.
The only negative thing I can share is that it took way too long to come to a conclusion IMO and communication with the court/prosecutor seemed very “wishy washy” at times, but thats typical when dealing with “the system”
If you need a criminal defense attorney in South King County or Pierce County I would highly recommend Smith and White! They are worth the investment!

Mr Jaeggii was assigned to my case just days before a court appearance after some issues came up with my previous attorney. I believe he went above and beyond what he needed to do, and did a great job representing me. We exchanged numerous emails and phone calls and I couldn't be happier with his work. I feel he went above and beyond what was required and never asked for additional payment. I will not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family should they need an attorney in the future. Thank you again sir, you have restored my faith in the legal system.

The law and courts are very intimidating. Rob was not only excellent in the “lawyer” portion of his job, he treated us with dignity and respect. He explained things in a manner that was easily understood. The outcome of the case turned out better than we could expect and the process with him on our side was less overwhelming. Highly recommend you hire a well rounded attorney!

I’d like to preface that I rarely write reviews, unless someone or something was truly extraordinary. Jay Krohn was just that. He went above and beyond for my case; researching, putting together motions, staying in constant contact on next steps and just being honest with me as I went through a really difficult time and a time that was humbling. He was magnificent and exuded confidence in how he was handling my case and allowed me to see all options laid out in front of me. Thank you, Jay! As much as I appreciate all you did, I hope we never work together again 😉☺️. If anyone I know needs legal representation though, I would hands down recommend him.

I cannot recommend Attorney Patti Steele and The Steele Law Firm highly enough! Over the past six years, she has demonstrated exceptional knowledge and advocacy, providing me with unwavering support during some of the most challenging times in my life. Her tactful and strategic approach to my case truly set her apart from others in her field.
What impressed me the most was her commitment to ensuring my voice was heard throughout the entire process. Patti and her dedicated team went above and beyond, not only offering legal representation but also building a robust network of expertise that was invaluable to my case. They tirelessly worked to reveal the truth and fight for my rights when I felt overwhelmed and ready to give up.

The best Attorney ever. I've been working on and off with Mike for about 10 years now. It feels good walking into a courtroom, and knowing you have someone like Mike who has your best interests in mind. I recommend Mike for any your legal troubles.

I like how they talk to me and not at me and in verbiage easily understandable. They made sure I totally understood the contact before signing on to them as a client. But I especially appreciate how they continue to keep me in the loop and have an open door policy.
Thank you Freeman Law 😁

Joseph represented me for multiple speeding tickets and won each case. He is professional and kept me informed about what I could expect every step of the way. Also, he is affordable. I would definitely use him in the future. I highly recommend Joseph.

First time I hired Joe was when I was 21 and got my first DUI.
Its been 10 years since and ive hired him many times for traffic infractions, arrests, and I have referred him to friends and not once has he ever failed me or left me worried about anything. Shows up in professional attire, explains everything that will happen and gets the best deal possible. Everyone I referred to Joe, has thanked me for pointing them his way. You will not regret putting your trust in him.

I hired joesph in February for a speeding ticket and he said he will take care of it and keep me up to date. A month ago (July) I got a letter in the mail saying if I don't pay it, I will go on collections. So I got a hold of him and he said he will take care of it and call him in a few days to see what's going on. So I did and I couldn't get a hold of him so I figured he took care of it. A month later (august) I get a letter saying I'm going on collections because the fine is not payed off. And I can't get a hold of him. I walked into his office and the person at the front desk said that there has been multiple people that can't get a hold of him. Don't hire him and hire someone else. You'll never be able to get a hold of him!

When I think of my time with Cindy Wysocki, Esq., tears of deep gratitude literally come to my eyes as I recall her strength and gentleness, her humor and sharp critical thinking, her willingness to get into the ultimate fighting cage we call the judicial system and her reluctance to throw a punch, and her commitment to fairness and open-hearted compassion. To the lawyer or firm across the virtual table, Cindy must seem formidable and relentless. To me as her client-friend, she was comforting, encouraging, and grounding. I never had to yield my voice or stuff down my questions. AND, Cindy held my concerns and fears, my heightened emotions and (sometimes) clear intuitive insights respectfully while guiding them in positive, productive ways. And best of all, Cindy knew me well enough at the end of a grueling process to be able to then assist and guide me in my needs to safeguard my estate and financial assets to be sure to leave them secure for the ones I love the most. Above all, I am forever grateful to Cindy for accompanying me as a caring fellow human being during one of the most devastating times of my personal life journey. She stayed by my side through unprecedented conditions, with unconditional care and concern, as one of the few who did in my life. Cindy is a legal Bodhisattva!!

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You
A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.
If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.
When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:
-
A Victim of Domestic Violence:
- Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
- Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
- Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
- Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
- Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
-
Accused of Domestic Violence:
- Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
- Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
- Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
- Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.
Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.
What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?
A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:
-
For Victims:
- Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
- Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
- Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
- Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
-
For the Accused:
- Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
- Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
- Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
- Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.
How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?
Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many domestic violence lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Hourly rates are common for both criminal defense and family law matters.
- Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
- Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.
It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.

Top Questions to Ask a Domestic Violence Lawyer
Before hiring a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the right experience and approach for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fees, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed cost estimate. -
What is the likely outcome of my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays. -
Will I need to appear in court?
Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials. -
What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.
How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
-
For Victims:
- Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
- Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
- Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.
- Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
-
For the Accused:
- Details of the allegations: Prepare a detailed account of the incident or allegations against you, including any evidence or witnesses that support your defense.
- Legal documents: Bring any legal documents you have received, such as a restraining order, criminal charges, or child custody filings.
