Decades of Thurston County Court Experience Jason has been handling Thurston County criminal, DUI, and traffic cases for decades. Over that time, our attorneys have appeared in every court that matters for local clients, and that sustained local presence has given us real knowledge of how each courtroom operates. Thurston County Superior Court, at the County Courthouse on Lakeridge Drive in Olympia, handles felony cases, domestic relations matters, civil cases, and appeals. Our attorneys appear there regularly for serious felony defense work. Thurston County District Court, also housed at the Lakeridge Drive courthouse, is the primary misdemeanor and infraction court for Thurston County. Effective February 4, 2026, Thurston County District Court absorbed the functions formerly handled by the Olympia Municipal Court through a regional interlocal agreement, and the District Court also handles cases for Lacey, Rainier, and Tumwater. If you were cited or arrested in Olympia, Lacey, Rainier, or Tumwater, your case is almost certainly headed to Thurston County District Court, and our attorneys appear there regularly. Our lawyers also appear in Yelm Municipal Court, which continues to operate independently at 206 McKenzie Ave SE in Yelm, and in Tenino Municipal Court, which also handles cases from the Town of Bucoda. Family and juvenile matters are heard at the Thurston County Family and Juvenile Court in Tumwater, where we can also assist clients. Put simply, if your Thurston County case is filed somewhere, we know that courthouse. Jason knows the local prosecutors. He knows the commissioners and judges. He has built his reputation in these courtrooms one case at a time, over decades, by being prepared, honest, and willing to fight when a fight is what the client needs. DUI Defense in Olympia and Thurston County DUI defense has been a cornerstone of Jason's practice since he tried his first DUI case as a prosecutor in 1996. That former prosecutor perspective gives him a real edge in how he reads a Thurston County DUI 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 urgent deadline: if you have been arrested for DUI, 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 regardless of what happens in the criminal case. Call (844) 925-2943 right away so we can protect your license while we build your defense. Criminal Defense in Olympia A criminal charge affects employment (especially important for the many Olympia clients who work for the state), housing, professional licensing, and family life.

We review the 911 call, body camera and dashboard camera footage, the officer's report, and every piece of digital evidence, then push hard for dismissal, suppression, or acquittal where the facts support it.
