Criminal Defense in Snohomish County

A criminal charge is not just a legal problem. It is a life problem. A conviction can follow you into employment background checks, housing applications, professional licensing decisions, and for non citizens, into immigration proceedings. The stress of a pending case touches everything, your sleep, your family, your ability to focus at work. We take that seriously, because we have seen what it does to the people who come to us.

Our team handles the full range of Snohomish County misdemeanor and felony cases, including assault, domestic violence, theft, drug possession, harassment, malicious mischief, hit and run, reckless driving, no contact order violations, minor in possession, and more. Our defense begins with a careful review of the evidence, the 911 call, body camera and dashboard camera footage, the officer's report, witness statements, medical records, and any relevant digital evidence. We look for every weakness in the State's case and every defense the facts will support.

Where self defense, mistaken identity, lack of intent, or an unlawful search applies, we push for dismissal, suppression, or acquittal. Where a negotiated resolution makes sense, we use our knowledge of local prosecutors and judges to pursue reduced charges, diversion, or deferred dispositions that protect the client's record whenever possible.

DUI Defense in Snohomish County

DUI defense has been a cornerstone of Jason's practice since he tried his very first DUI case as a prosecutor in Oregon in 1996. His former prosecutor background gives him a real working understanding of how the State builds a DUI case, and, just as valuably, where those cases tend to fall apart.

Every Washington DUI presents several angles of attack. Did the officer have reasonable suspicion for the stop? Were the field sobriety tests administered according to the specific NHTSA protocols the science requires? Was the Draeger Alcotest 9510 breath test machine properly calibrated, was the operator currently certified, and was the fifteen minute observation period actually observed?

The Draeger Alcotest 9510 has been the target of sustained source code review and scientific challenge by Washington defense attorneys, including real concerns about breath temperature correction and fuel cell degradation. A breath test is evidence, not a verdict, and it can be challenged.

One deadline every Snohomish County DUI client must understand. Under Washington's implied consent law, you have only seven days from the date of arrest to request a Department of Licensing administrative hearing to protect your driver's license. Miss that deadline, and the administrative suspension is automatic no matter what happens in the criminal case. If you or someone you love has been arrested for DUI, please call (844) 925-2943 right away so we can protect your license while we build your defense.

Traffic Ticket Defense in Snohomish County

Many drivers do not realize that simply paying a traffic ticket is a guilty finding that will follow them on their driving record. The insurance premium increases over the next three to five years often cost far more than the ticket itself. For CDL holders and teen drivers on an intermediate license, the consequences can be even more serious.

We handle speeding, school zone and construction zone tickets, negligent driving, failure to obey a traffic control device, HOV violations, following too closely, unsafe lane changes, no insurance citations, and other infractions throughout the county. Before you mail that check, call us at (844) 925-2943. A short conversation could save you thousands.
