Vancouver, Washington, Criminal Law Attorney

Your Criminal Defense Attorney

If you are facing criminal charges, you are probably anxious to know whether you will go to jail, face serious fines, or lose your license.

I have 30 years of experience as a lawyer defending people just like you from criminal charges. From my Vancouver, Washington, law firm, I can provide a strong shield in defense of your rights and freedom.

A Wide Variety of Criminal Cases

I can handle your criminal defense against charges such as:

I also have the experience to help you defend your firearm rights during criminal proceedings or seek to restore them after a conviction. I also have an extensive record of handling successful appeals.

Step by Step

I take a client-centered approach to criminal defense cases:

  • First, I listen to you, learning about the facts, background details, and your needs as a client.
  • Second, I give you an honest assessment. It doesn't help for me to tell you something that isn't true just to make you feel better. I am committed to giving straight answers so that you can make the best decisions possible.
  • Third, I will reassure you about your options. There is almost always something we can do within the law to lessen the consequences, and I will discuss some of those ideas with you.
  • Fourth, I will work with you to determine and execute a legal strategy. Sometimes the best outcome involves negotiation and plea-bargaining, and sometimes you are better off fighting the charges at trial.

Case Analysis

The strength of your case depends on a variety of circumstances. I will evaluate the strength of your case based on such factors as:

  • The charges brought against you
  • The weight of the government's evidence
  • How the evidence was obtained, and whether your rights were violated in the process, which could lead to exclusion of evidence and dismissal of your case
  • Your past criminal record, which could affect the maximum and minimum sentences allowed for your crime
