I was born and raised in Seattle, and am pleased to practice in our great Pacific Northwest. This is my home. I graduated from law school in 1984 and went to work for the Whatcom County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. This provided an opportunity to develop trial skills and the ability to present cases to judges and juries. From 1986-1990, I was the managing attorney for the main Seattle Office for Hyatt Legal Services. This position provided an opportunity to analyze and solve various issues that confront a general practice such as: Domestic Relations, Criminal Defense, Bankruptcy, Real Estate, Wills, and miscellaneous consumer matters. It also provided many opportunities to practice in State and Federal court. From 1990-97, I was an insurance defense attorney for the Seattle law firm of Alexander & Bierman. For several years, I defended hundreds of cases on the insurance company's behalf. I know how insurance companies value claims and the techniques they employ in an effort to detract from the value of a claim. In 1997, I opened my own law practice. I specialize in representing people injured by the negligence of others against the insurance company. Let me use my experience from years of defending the insurance company to your advantage. Michael E. Mazon Attorney At Law Lawyer.com Member Questionnaire Please describe a case(s) in the last year or two where you made a big difference. I had a case against a prominent hotel in the pacific northwest. The hotel itself was brand new and was celebrating its grand opening. My client fell on the stairwell within the hotel and incurred severe injuries. Others had previously been injured. by this stairwell. I brought suit and was able to obtain reasonable compensation for my client. The hotel completely reconfigured that part of the stairwell in question. How did you build a successful practice? I built a successful pracitce by focusing on one client at a time. What should clients look for in a lawyer? Ultimately, a client should look for a lawyer that is well versed in their specific field of practice. In other words, if a client has an injury claim, they want a lawyer that has dealt with that type of injury and the accident that caused it. It's kind of like choosing a doctor. How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases? Local knowledge is important if the case goes to litigation. For example, an attorney should have knowledge of the local rules in the county where the case has been filed. What information can you provide in a free phone consultation? I can provide all the information in a telephone consultation that I could in a live in-office consultation. I can educate the client in all aspects of the injury case starting with the claims phase all the way through a jury trial. What information do you need in a free phone consultation? Just the basics: date of the accident, location, liability, insurance, and type of injury. What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community? The fact that I had 8 years of experience defending the insurance company before I began representing the injured person against the insurance company. I can anticipate what the insurance company will do. I know their tactics and the tricks they attempt to pull. What is the most rewarding aspect of your job? Obtaining reasonable compensation for my client. Ultimately, that's all any personal injury attorney can do for their client. What are your other interests in addition to law? Music, travel, golf, family. Are you involved in your community? I'm a member of the Washington State Association for Justice and actively contribute to the American Cancer Society.

Jason S. Newcombe Criminal Defense, DUI Defense, and Traffic Ticket Defense Washington State Attorneys, PLLC | Everett and Snohomish County Offices Call (844) 925-2943 | www.washingtonstateattorneys.com A Snohomish County Defense Attorney Who Actually Shows Up for You Getting arrested or charged with a crime can happen to anyone. Good people have bad nights. Hardworking people make one mistake after decades of doing everything right. Loving parents find themselves in a domestic incident that spirals out of control in minutes. Careful drivers get pulled over after a single glass of wine with dinner. If any of that sounds like your situation, please understand that you are not alone, and you are not beyond help. For more than thirty years, Jason S. Newcombe has been the attorney that Snohomish County residents turn to when life has taken an unexpected turn. From the Everett office of Washington State Attorneys, PLLC at 1721 Hewitt Ave, Suite 521C, Everett, WA 98201, Jason and his team defend people facing DUI charges, criminal allegations, and traffic tickets throughout the county. We understand what you are going through, because we have walked thousands of clients through exactly this kind of moment. Jason is a recognized Washington State Super Lawyer, an honor extended only to attorneys who have demonstrated a sustained record of professional achievement and peer recognition. Even more meaningful, Jason has earned more than 330 positive client reviews online, each one written by a real Washingtonian who wanted others to know what it was like to have Jason in their corner when they needed someone most. Call (844) 925-2943 today for a free, confidential consultation. 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.

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.
