My philosophy in all cases is that there can be no fair resolution without a thorough review of each and every detail in a case. You can learn more about how I dissect a criminal case on my blog (located on our website) where I detail some of the methods I use to analyze how your defense will take shape. In my 16 years of trial experience as a felony-level prosecutor and a defense attorney, it is rare that the court documents accurately provide the Judge and the Prosecutor the true account of the situation. For me, every client must...

I became a lawyer when I was 39 years old. I wanted to be a voice for people who could not obtain justice without a forceful dedicated advocate. I am committed to the highest standards when representing a client. The practice of law is challenging, interesting, and exciting. The art of practicing law requires knowledge, dedication, experience, imagination, persistence and hard work to obtain justice and the best possible result in each case. Each client warrants such an advocate.

I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to serve Kitsap County and the surrounding communities. My Grandparents moved to the Kitsap area during World War II and, while they moved around after the war, my Grandmother returned later as a widow. I grew to know and love the area and its changes over the years. My father returned to the area in the early 2000's and, after graduating from Gonzaga Law School, Ryan and I moved to the Kitsap Peninsula.
This area poses unique challenges and opportunities that local attorneys understand. As a former clerk in Kitsap, I became very familiar with...

Arrested or facing criminal charges?
Criminal law addresses the government's prosecution of individuals who have been accused of committing a crime. Such laws may be federal, state, or local. The prosecution represents the people of a particular jurisdiction, and acts on behalf of the government by bringing a case against an accused. Under the U.S. Constitution, a person accused of a crime may have the right to a criminal defense attorney during interrogations and certain other times before and during a trial.
Whether you are under police investigation, have been arrested, or are facing charges, having an advocate familiar with the criminal justice system.
Most jurisdictions classify crimes as felonies or misdemeanors, with felonies being the more serious offenses with the possibility of more severe sentences. Some criminal lawyers focus on a specific area of criminal defense law, such as white-collar crime, drug offenses, theft crimes, or violent crimes. You should consult with a criminal defense lawyer early on in the process to preserve options, such as diversion programs or plea bargains.
When hiring a criminal defense attorney, you should evaluate the experience and fee structure of the attorney. Some offer a free consultation to discuss your case.
Accomplice liability:
If a person aids, assists, or encourages another in the commission of a crime, they are criminally liable as an accomplice to the crime.
Self-defense:
The claim that an act otherwise criminal was legally justifiable because it was necessary to protect a person or property from the threat or action of another.
