EVERYONE NEEDS A GOOD LAWYER. LET ME HELP YOU!

I have years and more than 60 jury trials worth of experience that I can bring to your case. Let me help you find the best outcome for your problem. I want to help you because I believe everyone needs a good lawyer.

For most of my life I’ve worked in helping professions. Before I came to the law I worked for Washington’s Department of Social and Health Services. I helped people get food stamps; I signed them up for reduced-cost childcare; I made sure they got the benefits that kept them from falling through the cracks.

I first wanted to be a lawyer when an elderly gentleman called me looking for help. He’d been wrongly denied benefits in the past but that was only the beginning of his problems. He faced legal problems – criminal charges and eviction – and he couldn’t find anyone to help him. I wanted to help him but couldn’t. I felt that if I were a awyer I could truly help people in dire straits.

A short while later, I enrolled in law school. Even before I was a lawyer, I continued working to help others. During law school I worked as intern with the Oregon Department of Justice helping to get kids away from abusive situations.

When an opportunity arose to directly help people – through criminal defense work – I jumped at it and spent five years working at a public defense office in Vancouver, WA. My work there taught me how to negotiate aggressively for my clients, persuade judges and connect with juries.

Now, I’m pleased to bring my skills to help you with your legal issues.

Blake Dore worked tirelessly on my case, keeping me informed and defending me from some terrible false allegations. He is truly an effective trial lawyer and obviously has a bright future in law.

Defense Trial Attorney of the highest caliber

Blake defended me against an assault charge while practicing law as a public defender. I was acquitted quickly at trial because of the great work Blake did on my case. Thanks again and do yourself a favor and retain him.

Dismissed!

The team at Doré Law Firm made it extremely easy to file and sign everything. My case was dismissed and all happened without me ever seeing or hearing from the court room. Thanks!

Speeding ticket

As advertised, Blake from Dore Law firm helped me dismiss my speeding ticket without penalties. While not inexpensive, I am very pleased with his service, and the dismissal should save me hundreds on my insurance.

30+ Speeding ticket and other charge dismissed

Received a citation for allegedly speeding 30+ over the posted limit and I had not switched my license over from my previous state of residence. The officer was pretty upset, but polite and I was a bit worried about dealing with the situation on my own. I searched around for a well-recommended traffic lawyer and happened upon Dore Law Firm. Blake was able to take care of the situation and get both of the speeding and license allegations on the citation dismissed, with only needing to take a $60 High Risk Driver Course. The course was 4 hours and Blake charged a reasonable one-time fee. It was a much better price to pay than the alternative of the cost of the tickets + having it on my driving record. All in all, I am happy with my choice and would choose to work with Blake again. Thanks Blake and Dore Law Firm!

Best option

Blake helped me with my DUI, dropped an MIP, some other charges and worked out a payment plan with me. Very knowledgeable, he lets you know all your options, and is always working on your case. I'm very pleased with the outcome of my situation as Im sure I got the best result I could get. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer.

Speeding ticket and missed court date

I have missed the court hearing for my speeding ticket and a default judgement was passed. Blake has reversed the default judgment and reduced the ticket to a parking ticket.

Posted by anonymous | May 29, 2022

The best lawyer!

The camera had me at going more than 10+mph over the limit, I explained to him all the facts and circumstances which led to that, and at the end of the day the case got dismissed! I have since stopped relying on the google map speeds limits, as they are incorrect. I cant thank Mr doré enough for saving my driving record on several occasions now, from being tarnished, he's the best for a reason. I understood things well from the prosecutors perspective after he spoke to them, then me, and know well now not to rely on Google speed limits, as they're inaccurate sometimes

The best lawyer ever

I’ve had him handle 2 tickets for me and he got one reduced from racing to speeding and my second one he got it dropped completely, I highly recommend him definitely worth every penny I paid him. Don’t hesitate if you have a ticket call him he will do the best you can get out there guaranteed

Thanks Blake…!!!

Blake has helped me with several of those out of nowhere traffic cameras and have gotten them dismissed or not to go on my record. Dore Law Frim is an absolute life saver…!!!!Blake is so on point at what he does and is a extremely knowledgeable attorney!!! He has helped me take care of several traffic citations that would have ended up on my insurance and costed me a fortune in the long run. He is there to answer any questions and gets right back to you with them. His knowledgeable staff is always there to take care of any questions as well and help get the ball rolling and everything setup for appointments and I am sure do so much more behind the scenes to help with the cases that come in the office. Thanks again Dore Law Firm team, you are there to take care of business!!!

Blake is a magician. Couldn't be happier with the result of my cases.

I hired Blake to represent me because I had received 5 speeding tickets (one was 100+) within a 6 month time frame, and I thought I was going to be screwed. Somehow, Blake turned 5 speeding tickets into 2, and had the speed and fine reduced for both of the remaining tickets. Blake FAR exceeded my expectations, and I could not be happier. Best money I've ever spent.

Speeding @136

I got a speeding ticket for 136mph. I have a cdl so for me this was not good. The alternatives of getting a hardship license for me would not work out very well being as I drive truck to earn money. He was able to reduce my traffic violation down to 99mph which meant I was going to be able to keep my job and my license. It was a massive weight lifted off of me. I appreciate what Blake was able to do for me. Thanks Blake!

photo radar ticket

Blake handled my photo radar ticket with little to no effort from me. He was able to get the ticket dismissed, and my driving record was less than stellar. If you have a photo radar ticket, do not go to anyone else--call Blake!

Excellent Services - Traffic Citation

I was very pleased with the legal representation I received from the Dore Law Firm. The police charged me with a traffic citation despite the evidence showing I wasn't at fault. Even though I was right I still had to have legal counsel to help overturn the citation. Mr. Dore did an outstanding job fighting the citation. I would recommend his law firm to anyone who is need of his services for legal representation. Honest, professional, and quick to respond to messages.

So luck to be represented by Mr. Dore!

Mr. Dore's contemporaries have nothing but good things to say about him, that's a pretty good sign you were lucky enough to have him represent you! I was actually referred to him by another attorney, what good fortune!

Posted by anonymous | September 27, 2021

Dismissed!

I have a "special" license, so getting a photo ticket in the mail was not what I needed or wanted on my driving record. I didn't realize the move/turn I made (very cautiously - looking in every direction) was illegal (now I sure do!). Co-workers suggest I get a lawyer and referred one to me. Dore Law Firm did the work and gratefully my ticket was dismissed! Thank you Dore and team, great job!
