Emily is an incredible attorney! I was charged in a ridiculous case based on a blatantly unconstitutional law where SPD violated their own protocols, but the prosecutor was a fanatic and would not let it go. Emily worked very hard and fought tooth and nail and got the case dismissed! I would highly recommend her to anyone.

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 and Laura will fight tooth and nail and advocate for their clients to the maximum of their abilities. They are truly spectacular and will amaze you with their skills. My family and I deferred to their judgement completely, and felt safe doing so. Emily and Laura understand that their client's futures are in their hands, and they do not take this lightly one bit. Emily and Laura make the best team one can ask for, and will go to war for you for any kind of issue. They are passionate and truly believe in the work that they do. I will always remember Emily and Laura, and they hold a very special place in my heart.

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.

Emily was recommended to me and I will be forever grateful. This legal situation involved false accusations of child molestation and was the most traumatic event of my 68-year life! With Emily representing and advising me for 26 months, we navigated this troublesome legal process we achieved a highly beneficial and life preserving outcome. Most helpful was Emily’s straight and candid advice with detailed explanations of the legal process specific to my case. Emily’s excellent experience always focused on what was needed most and she completed an incredibly efficient and successful legal representation. Emily was a strong legal advocate for me and the prosecution was overcome. I highly recommend Emily for your pertinent legal needs.

Emily and her team did an amazing job representing our family in a very tough mental health federal case. Not only was Emily competent and an expert on mental health federal cases, but she was also incredibly kind and empathetic. We felt like she was always in our corner, advocating for our family while representing my father. She and her team worked diligently to put together various strategies and documents to ensure our case was addressed with urgency. We are so glad we chose Emily to represent us and so grateful to find an attorney who was passionate and experienced in her field while treating her clients as human beings.

Working with Emily was a great experience. She was straight to the point on what she could do for me, she knew what she was talking about and right from the get-go she considered my situation and gave me options. She was very informative and supportive in our initial call. Emily considered my personal/financial situation and empowered me to stand up for myself in my anti-harassment case with or without her. Though she made me feel empowered to do it on my own, I knew it was worth it to have her backing me up. She was tough when I wasn't sure I could be. I am so grateful that I came across her and if I ever have to go through a situation like this again or if anyone else I know is looking for a lawyer, I won't hesitate to call/refer her. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I was scared going into this situation and came out on the other side feeling empowered. Thank you, Emily!

I recommend Ms. Gause with the outmost confidence. She help my family through the most difficult time, she's worth every dime, trust me you will not regreat it! I am sharing this with you all because I believe she's the best criminal defense attorney you could hire.

I hired emily in this difficult case.. she stood by my side and fought for me and if i had any questions she has the answer... I wanna thank you and the rest of the team... after a whole year I finally got my life back..

Emily was my lawyer for a very unique and difficult case. She took on my case and strongly represented me throughout the process. Emily showed empathy towards my situation and determination to have all charges dropped. I highly recommend her if you are in need of a criminal lawyer. Emily will advocate for you and guide you through the entire process.

Emily and her partner Andrea Kim were very through when it came to my case. It took approximately five months for my case to get dismissed but she was very transparent about the possible outcomes. From the beginning I let her know that anything but a dismissal would not be acceptable. She worked diligently all the was up to pre trail where my case was finally dismissed. She is a tenacious and tough lawyer who anyone would be happy to have on their side. I highly recommend her and I am very greatful that my family and I choose her and her associates to represent me in my assault/domestic violence case.

A rare find.... Emily and Kim worked tirelessly on my daughters case. There was no option for a plea because of her career path. It was win or nothing. I was amazed at her skill and grace. I can only say that it was money well spent it was not cheap by any means; but if you want the best you have to pay a little. I am thankful and grateful for their hard work.
