A great attorney

Mr. Rae is an exceptional attorney who demonstrated integrity, professionalism, and genuine dedication to my case. Despite my financial struggles, he was willing to work with me by offering a payment plan for his legal fees, understanding that going to trial would have been costly. Through his skill ...and diligence, he was able to get my case dismissed before trial. He was honest, thorough, and unwavering in his advocacy, and his efforts led to my release and the dismissal of my case. I highly recommend Mr. Rae to anyone seeking strong, compassionate, and reliable legal representation.

Elite trial lawyer

I came to Ronnie with a DV-4 assault charge and had a prior DV arrest on my record with the same female. I was found Not Guilty in less than 30 minutes and by way of self defense in less than 15. The state was throwing everything they had (playing really dirty) and Ronnie crushed them . This female w...as using the legal system like a weapon, seperarating me from our children and the state was backing her 100%. Ronnie negotiated a great pre-trial deal (2 year suspended sentence), but I wanted to take it all the way,because I know family court is coming next. He said, "I got your back" and let me tell you it was as if this was happening to "US" and not just "ME". His skills in the courtroom are elite and it actually became almost embarrassing for the prosecution. I learned quickly that the state has no problem ruining innocent people's lives, including their children's if it gets them a win. Thank God, I had Ronnie by my side and if you ever find yourself being accused of something you didn't do, you're going to need him by your side too.

Stands up for the right people when we have nowhere to turn

I got into a case where the prosecutor could have put me in a position to incriminate myself. I hired Ronnie not knowing what I should do or how to handle the situation being that having your firmarm stolen in Washington state by a criminal can cause you gines/jail time. After talking about everythin...g Ronnie came up to bat a hit a homeowner by getting it all dismissed. Now he is trying to get my gun back from me. 10/10 recommend Ronnie

Gets you the best deal posaible

Ronnie was communicative and helped work out a good deal with the prosecutor. Addressed the legal matters and came to court to represent me. I appreciated his service.

Hire the best first.

I would hire Mr.Rae again any day. He doesn’t judge and makes you feel completely confident. He seems to have a real passion for protecting his clients. I was in a really precarious position of my own making and Ronnie was able to work with the prosecutor and negotiate a remarkable solution. Tha...nks to his work I can sleep again and in my own bed, not a jail cell. If you really need help and want help please give him a call. You will never regret it!

Criminal defense lawyer | Aug 24

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Recently, I required the assistance of local counsel here in Wenatchee following the arrest of a family friend. I inquired among my colleagues who suggested that I speak with Washington State lawyer Ronnie Rae. Not one to enjoy asking for assistance when it comes to criminal defense work, I dreaded the thought of reaching out. I can’t help but recall thinking, “it’s just the local rules, I got this… Mr. Rae will let me lead this one.” wrong… The truth is that by the time I stepped in (which was immediately) there was nothing to lead. Lawyer Ronnie Rae’s had this in the bag before I even told him my name. With a few well placed analogies, Mr. Rae educated me on the local law, judicial practices, procedure and even outlined the specific preemptive measures that were not only appropriate but also the recipe called for under the circumstances. “you are going to be a hero to that family…” he said. This lawyer is awesome."
