About Kenneth
Ken Harmell was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. In 1992 he moved to Seattle with his wife and two children.
Ken graduated with high honors from both Central Washington University and the Seattle University School of Law. He has over nine years of experience representing persons charged with crimes and has over 150 jury trials.
Ken joined the firm during law school and was already an experienced trial attorney when in 1999 he received his Juris Doctor degree from the Seattle University School of Law, magna cum laude. He has jury trial experience in ten jurisdictions throughout western Washington. He has jury trial experience at all levels of criminal cases in including Class A, B and C felonies, as well as misdemeanors and gross misdemeanors. Ken has been directly appointed by the court to represent criminal defendants. He has also been asked to serve as a Pro Tem Judge.
As a part of his practice, he has developed a reputation for having an uncanny ability to develop complex legal arguments that result in either the dismissal of the case against his clients, or the suppression of some significant portion of the government's evidence. Ken does not simply challenge the evidence, he challenges the law. He is an aggressive courtroom advocate who views plea bargains as the last option and not the first. Ken's philosophy is that the only way to obtain the best possible outcome for each client is to be recognized by the prosecution as a credible threat to take each and every case to trial.
In his spare time Ken enjoys the Mariners, Seahawks and poker. In Ken's opinion it is Las Vegas, and not Disneyland, that is the happiest place on earth. His first date with his wife was a trip to the race track, and they were married on the same day as the Kentucky Derby.
