About Kevin

Biography

Kevin Tarvin, Attorney at Law - As a Defense Attorney for 23 years I have successfully represented and defended thousands of individuals faced with the daunting circumstance of being accused of a crime.

When new clients call to consult, they are hungry for information. They are looking primarily for three things: 1) A precise understanding of the criminal charge and their circumstance; 2) Procedural information; and 3) How their case can be defended or mitigated.

During an initial courtesy consultation, I will provide a thorough explanation of the nature of the criminal charge and potential consequences. I explain how a case is initially investigated, the process of filing of charges by the prosecuting attorney and then how an individual both responds to charges as well as the process of attending associated hearings. I then provide a general explanation of defenses that can be raised against criminal charges and approaches that can be taken to either obtain a successfully negotiated resolution and/or how we prepare a case for trial. In most cases a successfully negotiated is possible. If not, the ability to take the case to trial is always an option of the client.

I represent clients throughout the entire state of Washington; however, most of my cases are in King, Snohomish and Pierce County. This means that I represent individuals in all of the District Courts of these counties as well as in all of the municipal courts such as Issaquah, Kirkland, Seattle, Bothell, Everett, Marysville and Tacoma Municipal Courts. Beyond the District and Municipal Court setting, I routinely represent individuals charged with felony offenses in King and Snohomish County Superior courts.

My practice is limited to criminal defense. If you are in need of a different type of representation and need excellent representation, I am happy to provide a referral.

Most people who are searching for a private attorney are doing so because they have been charged with either DUI or an Assault case; usually Assault DV (Domestic Violence). Whether DUI or Assault or some other offense, I can help.

I am happy to provide a courtesy consultation either in person or by phone. You are welcome to contact my office at. I am conveniently located in downtown Bellevue, WA at the intersection of NE 8th Street and 110tth Ave. NE. I look forward to meeting you.

Exemplary in Performance and Gentleman of high Integrity

Kevin D. Tarvin was hired to defend me against the false charges of felony harassment filed by the known scam artist JC. His easy grace and inimitable integrity of character gave me confidence and insured the outcome of innocence on all counts. Tarvin kept me on track during an extremely stressful ti...me after I was attacked by JC who filed her specious charges against me in an effort to cover for her alleged crime of fraud against me when it was discovered and consequently she was denied a legal document concerning my high end property, which she was attempting to rent in lieu of purchase. Tarvin also exposed the duplicitous nature of former attorneys Richard Llewellyn Jones and James W. Kovac who were both fired for gross negligence, incompetence and underhanded tactics. Through my investigations of JC I provided Tarvin with a five inch thick file indicating that JC had been involved with false accusations and criminal activity for numerous years against many other victims; the weight of this file alone was enough to make the compromised assistant district attorney, Julie Ann Mohr, drop her highly suspicious prosecution of me and the false charges were subsequently dismissed. Kevin informed me on two occasions that Jones/Kovac had compromised me; the first of which was when he had a conversation with Julie Mohr concerning the advances of Kovac /Jones to have me delivered up on a lesser charge of disorderly conduct instead of the felony harassment charge and again when he was approached by Jones who requested that Tarvin assist him in an upcoming mal-practice suit I'd filed against Jones; Tarvin refused Jones' entreaties. I was further charged, again falsely, for a violation of a no contact order by JC, but this time she had the willing efforts of two Kirkland Police Officers Jacob Thune and Christopher Packard who lifted language from an NCIC document rather than use the actual court order, of which I was falsely charged with violating. On this occasion the Prosecuting Attorney from Kirkland knowingly prosecuted me based on the fabricated evidence provided by the offending officers. The trial was heard by Judge Michael Lambo. I was pronounced innocent and exonerated on the false charge. The falsification of evidence by these two officers is a felony. The charges I brought against them were investigated by Lt. John Haslip of Kirkland Internal Affairs Division; in his opinion my charges were "unfounded" because the officers "believed" that the language they used was in the court order, but that neither officer had obtained the actual court order in direct conflict with standard procedure. The fact is that these officers did fabricate this evidence as researched by Tarvin and ironically verified by Haslip in his report needs to be addressed. This latter action was brilliantly researched and executed with intricate accuracy by Kevin D. Tarvin. Tarvin was paid a sum total of $12,750 for his efforts on my behalf. I am now ruined due to the specious and fraudulent efforts of a legal system gone mad and the easily discernible, but alleged false charges of a seemingly adroit sociopath, JC, who is now herself the subject of this same system due to my efforts to analyze her crimes and author the criminal complaint, which after a two year investigation by Hugo Torres the King County Prosecutor's Office has handed down a twelve count indictment for multiple fraud, first/second degree theft resulting in the recent arrest of JC in Kalispell, Montana. She is fighting extradition. JC had resisted arrest. I am the progenitor of the May 11th, 2011 Seattle Weekly front page feature titled "Home Wrecker", which was the first such public exposure to JC in the Seattle area shaming Assistant DA Julie Ann Mohr into backing down from her suspicious prosecution on behalf of JC. I highly recommend Kevin d. Tarvin
