To prospective clients considering Puget Law Group (PLG), I wish to provide an honest account of my engagement with Tim Lewis and the firm. I initially chose PLG on February 14th, 2022, based on a recommendation from a trusted friend within the legal community. My expectations were set high for a professional and effective working relationship. Unfortunately, from the very outset, my experience fell far short of satisfactory. I was initially assigned to a different attorney within the firm, and for almost eight months, little to no progress was made. There were no interviews, no strategy sessions, and even worse, there was a troubling lack of communication during this period. It was not until the beginning of November 2022 that I was informed I would be getting a new attorney, Tim Lewis. On Tuesday, November 8th, I was included in a group email for an introduction, with the expectation that Mr. Lewis would reach out to me. By Thursday the 10th, having heard nothing, I decided to take the initiative and left a message for Mr. Lewis. Despite this, by Tuesday, November 15th, I had still not received any communication. Frustrated with the complete lack of responsiveness, I responded to the group email, reiterating my contact information in case it had been overlooked. By the end of the day on Wednesday, November 16th, with still no response from anyone, I took the step of emailing the managing partner to express my frustration at the complete absence of any communication. In that email, I made it clear that while I did not expect to be the sole focus, I at least expected to feel like a valued client. Finally, I was contacted, but I continued to feel isolated and unsupported. The advice I received from Mr. Lewis was to "take the deal," a suggestion that left me feeling stuck and frustrated. Given my responsibilities as the full-time caregiver of an 18-month-old daughter, I couldn't afford jail time, so I reluctantly signed the deal. Before the sentencing, I expressed my desire not to speak during the proceeding, given my dissatisfaction with the justice system. However, when the judge inquired about me, Mr. Lewis, who had not taken a minute to learn anything about me, stumbled over his words and had nothing substantial to offer, leading to my forced participation in explaining my background to the judge. In July of that year, as part of my sentencing, I was required to enroll in an online course, with a hearing scheduled for September 1st to review my compliance. I provided proof of registration to Mr. Lewis on August 24th, and again on September 20th. Despite this, no motion was filed, and I was unaware of this. As a result, the hearing was rescheduled for September 29th, with the threat of a warrant if I didn't attend. In early September, I left a message with Tim about the upcoming hearing, which I believed would prompt a simple response indicating that the motion had been filed, and my presence was not required. Regrettably, no response was received. Nine days passed, and I had still not heard from Mr. Lewis. I expected him to at least appear on my behalf, but he did not. I had to face the court without legal representation. I understand that being a lawyer is often a challenging and demanding profession. My intention is not to impugn anyone's character or motives but to share my personal experience, which left me... unrepresented in court.

Big thank you to Gina Buskirk and her support team (Rachelle & Anneliese) for handling my dui case very professionally, with great communication explaining everything very detailed and in a timely manner. Put my stress at ease and cleared up any confusion I had about my case. Highly recommend her and her team with any legal issues. 🙌🏽

The way Tim Lewis at PGL maneuvered through a difficult and high stakes case for my family was like watching a Perry Mason show. His calm but fierce demeanor was a force to be reckoned with in and out of the courtroom. He was polished and professional and communicated with us all throughout the case. Even when the odds were against us, he brought us the win, and justice was served! Thank you Tim for protecting my family. We are forever indebted to you.

If you’re looking for an a honest trustworthy attorney, I highly recommend Puget Law Group. I had the privilege of working with Tim Lewis. Tim not only exceeded my expectations in my case, which was not an easy case to win. He continuously kept me up to date and helped me stay positive through difficult situations. Tim was honest and quite frankly, his tactic in my case was brilliant. I have my life back because of Tim. It’s certainly not easy to find an honest attorney. So if you’re looking, this law firm is 5 stars all the way.

Does not do representation for what I need as well as made snide comments when I stated I was on a limited income.

Josh and his firm were life savers for me and my family. When put in a desperate situation by gross State over reach, they did a good job of listening, believing, and then going into battle for me. I have had many legal situations in dealing with DCYS, and then the felony charges were brought against me. Josh did everything in his power, and more to make sure I received a fair and equitable trial. He does his research, is very prepared, and presented the case very clearly. My family and myself would highly recommend Josh for any criminal defense case you may have. If he is unable to take your case I am sure his firm would have another attorney which will serve you well. Even with the case dismissed he stayed in touched and aided with some other issues which he did not have to. If I could I would give Josh 10 stars.

I am pleased to provide a glowing testimonial for Ms. Buskirk, a phenomenal attorney who provided exceptional legal representation during my recent probation violation case. Her professionalism and dedication were truly remarkable, and her attention to detail played a significant role in securing the best possible outcome for me. Throughout the legal process, Ms. Buskirk's due diligence and unwavering commitment to safeguarding my rights were exemplary. She kept me informed every step of the way and provided constant reassurance, which helped alleviate the stress of the situation. I was particularly impressed with Ms. Buskirk's expertise and diligent approach in negotiating the best possible offer from the courts. The outcome was beyond my expectations, and it has brought much-needed peace of mind to me. I highly recommend Ms. Buskirk to anyone seeking a top-notch attorney who will go above and beyond in providing the best legal representation possible. Her work and professionalism truly made a profound difference in my life, and I am genuinely grateful for all that she has done for me. Thank you, Ms. Buskirk, for your unwavering commitment to my case's success. You are an outstanding attorney, and I can't recommend you highly enough. Sincerely, Kevin S.

Josh did a great job working with me on my case. He was immediately able to get up to speed when I retained him and proactively reached out to everyone involved to get the ball rolling in finding a resolution. He pieced together a game plan where we worked with all relevant parties - the investigators, the attorneys, and witnesses - that allowed us to sow together the facts and present them. He was well-versed in the entire process, from beginning to end, and understood the subtleties of what could be done and what couldn’t. It was good to know that you had someone in your corner who knew the intricacies of the system and had the skills to navigate that system. There are a lot of attorneys in our society. Josh’s knowledge and his work puts him at the apex of his profession. He’s a trusted steward with the skills to match.

All of the above ( and more ) is what I am receiving from my partnership in working with Josh Saunders from The Marshall Defense Firm. From my very first interactions with Josh, I knew I was in great hands as I felt he not only listened, but that he TRULY listened in a way that I knew I was being heard. The false accusations against me were devastating and turned my world upside down. It was Josh's steady hand, guidance and his trust and belief in me that helped right this ship and has gotten me through some pretty stormy moments. Josh didn't spin any fairy tales to make me feel better, but rather provided outstanding clarity as to the process that lay before us and did so with not only with his keen professional competence, but also with the utmost of compassion and a high degree of creativity in bringing to light subtle details that I had not even considered. As we interviewed with investigators, Josh always displayed the epitome of respect towards whomever he was addressing and I believe in doing so, has been able to gain a number of concessions that will strengthen our case as we move forward. And while my particular outcome still remains to be seen, I absolutely know that I am more than well cared for through all of Josh's stellar efforts on my behalf. I no longer wake up in the morning with this nightmare staring squarely at me and for this alone I am truly most grateful!

When you find yourself in a difficult legal situation, what you want is to find help, honesty and understanding for the process you are going through. All that and more comes from attorney Joshua Saunders of his law firm The Marshall Defense Firm, P.S. I highly recommend them.

I was concerned over potential legal action that may occur and contacted Puget Law Group to speak to an attorney on Christmas Eve; within 10-15 minutes Chris Kattenhorn called me to see if it was an emergency or to set up a better time to speak later that day. He called back at the time we set and gave good advice for where we currently were in the situation. He's extremely communicative and helped ease anxiety during a stressful time. I'd recommend Chris and Puget Law Group to anyone looking for advice/representation.
