Quita was kind, professional, and more than willing to listen and answer any questions I had during our consultation. Quita is sensitive to the needs of survivors, and would recommend if you are looking for a lawyer to help with DV / survivors.

I was being charged with a DUI and 5 hit and runs and Quita St. John got ALL CHARGES DROPPED COMPLETELY. Not only were all my charges dropped but my drivers license was never suspended nor did I have to get an ignition interlock device. Quita always remains professional and puts 100% into everything she does. I can not speaker higher of her both as a human and as a lawyer.

Quita is great to work with. She understand complex cases, summarizes and presents the arguments well. In my case not only did she provide a strong and successful defense in the case against me, she also suggested I file a counter claim. We also succeeded in winning the counter claim case in court. I highly recommend using Quita St. John if you have a restraining order matter.

Quita received a call from us and gave us legal advice from the minute she heard our story. My father did not speak English fluently, but she was able to understand him and even spoke Spanish very well in order to communicate with him and keep him informed. Peace of mind is what she gave us after my father’s domestic dispute occurred. From the very start, Quita heard us out, told us what to do and what not to do and she mitigated the entire process with ease. We’ll never be able to repay her for what she did for our family and managed to get my father into community court where he was able to get involved with the community and pay his dues. Thank you for bringing our family closer than ever before.

I called Quita when a loved-one and I wanted to better understand a common legal process. She was gracious to answer my call outside of business hours and offer me legal advice. I am glad to know I can count on Quita whenever I want legal advice.

Traumatized after experiencing DV, Quita assisted me in obtaining a DV protective order. She demonstrated clear expertise with DV cases, efficiency, and transparency. She went above and beyond her duties as a lawyer and treated me as a human, connecting me with applicable resources related to mental health. Additionally, she is sensitive to LGBT issues and demonstrated cultural competence and social justice advocacy in her practice. I am very grateful to have met her.

I was arrested on a Domestic Violence (DV) assault charge in Bellevue when i was one month away from the end of an 18-month Stipulated Order of Continuance (SOC) agreement for a prior DV involving charges in both Issaquah and Seattle (fabricated by the alleged victim). The SOC stated I would be in violation of the agreement if I had any criminal law violation during that 18-month period, so I was extremely worried I would be convicted on the 2 prior Issaquah and Seattle charges as well as the new Bellevue charges. Quita spent time with me to fully understand the situation and she developed a very sound strategy for the 3 related cases. I was still worried that I would face some serious consequences from some of the cases, including convictions on my record and potential jail time. The outcome was much better than I could have ever expected. I signed a new 18-month SOC in the Bellevue requiring completing a DV treatment program and community service. The prior SOC in Issaquah was extended to match the end date for the new Bellevue agreement with charges dismissed if I completed the new Bellevue SOC terms. And the charges in Seattle were completely dropped! I feared the worst, but this was the best possible outcome I could imagine. I am so grateful to Quita achieving this outcome and I could not recommend her more highly!

I fully endorse Quita as an exceptional defense attorney. In my case she was able to secure a quick dismissal during direct negotiations with the district attorney to highlight all facts in the case long before a trial was necessary. The case was set to be continued and delayed for several more weeks until the next hearing, but Quita pushed for negotiations with the DA and secured the dismissal much sooner. This saved me several weeks of anxiety and worry in a complicated case with dubious claims and false allegations that were exposed only with the savvy support of Quita's legal counsel and strategies with the district attorney.

Quita St. John answered my cold call and immediately gave me a valuable, brief free consultation regarding my situation. She listened with empathy and even with some humor, which helped me relax and gain some perspective on things. From an LGBTQ+ standpoint, she made me feel more than welcome - she made me feel like I had found a reliable friend.

I have worked with Quita twice on two separate legal issues and she has been nothing but professional on both accounts. She genuinely cares about the well being of her clients and helped me feel more comfortable in a vulnerable and difficult time. Communication was great from the beginning and she was able to get me a lesser sentence and the fees waived for the offense. She was informative throughout the whole process and always left me feeling that I knew what to expect next in court. Overall her empathy and compassion is what sets Quita apart. I can not recommend her enough.

With Quita you will find an adept attorney who is ready to listen and very easy to talk to. When she is explaining matters to you, it is clear and concise. I found myself continually reassured by her knowledge of the courtroom process and the legal system. This knowledge, combined with her respectable experience, lends to the best possible outcome. For my situation the case was dismissed. If you need competent and skilled representation chose Quita St. John.

I had consulted with several attorneys before finding Quita. Within minutes of our consultation I felt such relief of worry knowing that I had a clear path to forward, as well as finding my new attorney. Quita was incredibly clear and efficient with her plan, laid out a solid framework for what was to come, and answered all my questions before I could ask them. What was one of the most difficult situations I had ever been in, which caused such uncertainty of the legal process, outcome, and future, Quita’s knowledge eased those feelings quickly. What I had anticipated being a very lengthy and expensive process, Quita resolved the situation and won my case in only a few days from our first conversation. I will recommend Quita to anyone without any hesitation.
