John Patrick Mucklestone's Reviews

I had a major wreckless driving case which John helped me with; and he is THE BEST guy to talk to on that kind of stuff. There is a lot of crap going around on forums about how there are certain attorneys (who are a LOT more flashy, hint) who do good jobs- IGNORE THEM! This is the dude you want to talk to!

I was introduced to John through a fomer girlfriend about 14 years ago when I was charged with a DUI. He had her DUI dismissed hence the recommendation.

This first DUI went to a jury trial in Seattle. I was found not guilty of DUI and also the failure to stop which led to the arrest.

After a few years, I found myself being pulled over and again charged with DUI. This time, the case was dismissed prior to even going to trial as my rights were violated at some point.

I stayed out of trouble for a while longer but was pulled over again and charged with DUI. I had some things going on in my life that required more attention and decided to plead guilty to a Reckless Driving. I'm sure I could have done better had I decided to fight this.

Finally in 2007, I again was charged with DUI. The first trial ended in a hung jury so we went back for another trial and I was again, found to be not guilty.

That's 3 out of 4 he beat for me.

I would highly recommend John.

I'm sure glad I hired John. I contacted him under 24 hours before my court date for a contested "speeding too fast for conditions" ticket. He wasn't worried about the short time, was able to reschedule his schedule to fit me in, and even stayed up late into the night to review my case. I felt I had a good idea about how to beat the case and thought about representing myself, but John won with a simple and effective angle that I wouldn't have thought of. And he said after the case, that if I did represent myself, I would have been at risk of being called upon by the prosecutor and may have said something to jeopardize my case. So it's best to hire a lawyer to not screw up your one chance at beating it. John was professional, dedicated to helping, and great with communication. He called me right after the case was won. So I would refer all of my friends in Washington to John if they ever get a traffic ticket.
