A Win For The Books

I cannot explain how impressed I was with Jacey's attention to detail. She was put in charge of dealing with my DOL hearing (a major part of being charged with a DUI). She was able to identify key facts in my case getting my DOL hearing overturned the first time around. I will forever be grateful ...for her assistance. She is a great asset to the Callahan Law firm.

Above and Beyond, Simply the Best

I had an unfair citation for a hit and run and I contacted the Callahan Attorneys. I was connected to Jacey Liu. Jacey was very invested in my case and went above and beyond to make sure that I got the citation revoked. Throughout the entire time she kept me informed and she used her extensive knowle...dge of the law in order to get the result I was looking for. In the end, she got my case dismissed and I am grateful for her an her work and would recommend her to anyone anytime. Thank you Jacey, you're amazing!

Jacey did a great job representing me for a speeding infraction. She managed to secure a deal that surprised even her. Very well done, impressively professional conduct throughout my case.

DUI and DWI lawyer | May 21

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Jacey Liu has changed the practice of DUI defense law in Clark County by fearless advocacy of her clients and exceptional knowledge of the intricacies of DUI defense. Her willingness to do battle has established her reputation as a fighter for justice for her clients and she garners amazing results because prosecutors simply do not want to do battle with her at trial. Jacey has a brilliant legal mind; her writing is impeccable in its persuasion and analysis. For several years she has contributed to the Washington DUI Practice Manual, published by Thomson-Reuters, and she recently authored eloquent briefing considered by the Washington State Supreme Court in a DUI appeal. I strongly endorse Jacey Liu."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jacey Liu is an absolute warrior in the field of DUI defense. She is meticulous in her analysis of the legal issues and her briefing is impeccable. Jacey thoroughly understands the techniques the officers use in their investigation, as well as the protocols that regulate breath testing in Washington, and she uses this knowledge to aggressively represent her clients. Jacey gets amazing results in court, and wins Department of Licensing hearings that seemed hopeless. Jacey is also extremely compassionate to the stress that her clients face and makes herself readily available to address their concerns as she helps them navigate the process. I often consult with Jacey on my own cases and she always adds beneficial insights. I wholeheartedly endorse Jacey Liu."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
