I studied Federal Tax Law at Seattle University School of Law in 1985. Upon graduation in 1988, I started my practice at Sterbick, Abel, & Sterbick. Through my tax practice, I learned that many tax debts can be discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy or paid through Chapter 13. I began practicing bankruptcy law in 2009. My firm has discharged literally millions of dollars of IRS debt for my clients. I am admitted to practice before the United States Tax Court, the United States District Court, and the Washington State Superior Court.

It is the city of the Tacoma Dome and Point Defiance, the Museum District, the waterfront along Ruston Way, the grit of downtown and the quiet of the North End. It is also the city where Jason S. Newcombe has been fighting for accused clients in Pierce County courtrooms for decades. From our Tacoma office at 201 St. Helens Ave, Jason and the criminal defense team at Washington State Attorneys, PLLC represent people charged with DUI, criminal offenses, and traffic infractions throughout Pierce County.

Call (844) 925-2943 today for a free and confidential consultation. Decades of Pierce County Courtroom Experience Jason has been handling criminal, DUI, and traffic cases in Pierce County for over two decades, and in that time our lawyers have appeared in every court in the county. When we say every court, we mean it. Our attorneys regularly appear in Pierce County Superior Court at the Pierce County Courthouse in downtown Tacoma for felony cases, family law matters, and appeals from the lower courts. We appear in Pierce County District Court for misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors, and civil infractions arising in unincorporated Pierce County, Eatonville, Edgewood, and elsewhere in the district's jurisdiction. We also appear in every municipal court in Pierce County, including Tacoma Municipal Court, Lakewood Municipal Court, Puyallup Municipal Court, Fife Municipal Court, Fircrest Municipal Court, Gig Harbor Municipal Court, Bonney Lake Municipal Court, Buckley Municipal Court, Orting Municipal Court, Roy Municipal Court, DuPont Municipal Court (held at Lakewood), Steilacoom Municipal Court (held at Lakewood), University Place Municipal Court (held at Lakewood), Milton Municipal Court (held at Puyallup), Sumner Municipal Court (held at Bonney Lake), South Prairie Municipal Court (held at Bonney Lake), Eatonville Municipal Court, Ruston Municipal Court (held at Fircrest), Carbonado Municipal Court (held at Buckley), and Wilkeson Municipal Court. That kind of local experience matters. Every courthouse in Pierce County has its own personality, its own prosecutors, and its own commissioners and judges. Jason knows the people, the practices, and the unwritten rules that make the difference between a case that drags on and a case that gets resolved the right way. DUI Defense in Tacoma and Pierce County DUI defense has been a cornerstone of Jason's practice since he tried his first DUI case as a prosecutor in 1996. That prosecutor's chair perspective, combined with decades of defense work in Pierce County, gives Jason a real edge in how he reads a case file and plans an attack. We challenge DUI cases on multiple fronts at once. Was the stop supported by reasonable suspicion? Were the field sobriety tests administered according to NHTSA protocols? Was the Draeger Alcotest 9510 breath test machine properly calibrated, was the operator currently certified, and was the fifteen minute observation period actually conducted? The Draeger has been the subject of serious, sustained scientific challenges by Washington defense attorneys, including concerns about breath temperature correction and fuel cell degradation. One critical point for Pierce County DUI clients: you have only seven days from the date of arrest to request a Department of Licensing administrative hearing to protect your driver's license. If you have been arrested for DUI in Tacoma, Lakewood, Puyallup, or anywhere in Pierce County, please call (844) 925-2943 right away so we can protect your license while we build your defense. Tacoma Criminal Defense A criminal charge can follow you for life. It affects jobs at JBLM and in the Port, it affects your ability to rent in Stadium or on the Hilltop, and it affects your family. Our Tacoma criminal defense lawyers handle the full range of Pierce County misdemeanors and felonies, including assault, domestic violence, theft, drug possession, harassment, malicious mischief, hit and run, reckless driving, no contact order violations, and minor in possession. We review the 911 call, the body camera and dashboard camera footage, the officer's report, the witness statements, and every piece of digital evidence. Then we push hard for dismissal, suppression, or acquittal where the facts support it, and for reduced charges or diversion when a negotiated resolution serves the client best.

Before you mail that check, call us.
