& Personal Injury Law

Our Areas of Practice

We handle a broad range of criminal and personal injury matters on behalf of Washington and Oregon residents. Although we are seasoned in both practice areas, DUI defense is our strongest suit. Our legal team has firsthand knowledge and insight into all of the intricacies required to navigate injury victims and the criminally accused through the legal system effectively. We have challenged many cases before numerous state courts in our years of practice, and as a result, we have helped many of our past clients maximize their recoveries for an injury or get criminal charges reduced or dropped.

Quality representation is waiting on the other side. Connect with our firm to receive more information on how we can help you resolve your legal matters.
