Chloe has been a passionate advocate for her clients for over 12 years.

Chloe Alyn is a top notch criminal defense attorney who genuinely cares about her clients. She has a passion for defending those in need and leaves no stone un-turned in her investigation of the case at hand. I highly recommend Chloe Alyn.

Ms. Alyn is one of the best criminal defense attorneys I have had the opportunity to meet and work with. She cares about her clients, advocates fearlessly for them and is an amazing trial lawyer. I would recommend Ms. Alyn to any person facing a criminal charge.
Brandt Symons, Criminal defense Attorney on Dec 30, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I had the pleasure of working alongside Ms. Alyn for several years in the King County (Seattle, Washington) court system. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable and zealous in advocating for her clients, Ms. Alyn is also a skillful trial attorney, adept at cross-examining officers and expert witnesses. I've personally seen her win several suppression motions, resulting in dismissal, and multiple jury trials. I recommend Ms. Alyn without hesitation.
Henry Chae, Criminal defense Attorney on Dec 29, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I've known Chloe Alyn since law school in 2000 (so 16 years) and I have seen her in action as colleagues. She has a fun and outgoing personality but also has a sharp wit, fierce intellect, and tough high legal acumen. In other words, she is a force to be reckoned with and that's bad news for opposing counsels. She does not fear going into the courtroom as this is where she excels and shines as a Trial attorney, where she commands the respect of the jurors, opposing counsels and the Judge. She is battle tested in the courts and she is a tenacious zealous fighter for her clients. She has the respect of her peers and her colleagues and is a leader in Criminal and DUI Defense. She truly cares about her clients and you cannot go wrong having Ms. Alyn as your advocate. I highly recommend Chloe Alyn without reservation.
Adam Shipley, Unknown Attorney on Dec 16, 2015

Ms. Alyn is a dedicated and highly effective attorney and a tenacious advocate for her clients. She is a strong and unflappable negotiator who consistently obtains excellent results for her clients. She is always well prepared when matters proceed to trial, where her broad knowledge base, unwavering sense of justice, and intelligence and understanding serve her clients' best interests. I would never hesitate to refer people to her and unequivocally endorse Ms. Alyn.
Katelyn Weaver, Criminal defense Attorney on Dec 15, 2015
Relationship: Co-worker
Ms. Alyn is an excellent advocate and it is my pleasure to endorse her as an exceptionally adept and dedicated attorney. I worked with Ms. Alyn for approximately four years and during that time I had the opportunity to observe Ms. Alyn handle hundreds of criminal cases. Not only is Ms. Alyn extremely knowledgeable of the law, Ms. Alyn is an excellent negotiator and litigant. She has a tough-yet-effective negotiation style, which frequently resulted in positive resolutions for her clients. If negotiations came to a standstill, Ms. Alyn worked zealously to advocate for her clients at trial. Ms. Alyn has the uncanny ability to communicate her client's case to the jury in a way that the juries can understand and connect with. Ms. Alyn frequently succeeded at trial not only because of this, but because of her dedication to the case. Ms. Alyn served as an excellent mentor and colleague. I would highly recommend Ms. Alyn to anyone in need of a tough, compassionate, frank, and adept attorney.

I worked beside Chloe in Washington as a fellow public defender for 10 years. During that time I saw her go from being a good lawyer, to an exceptional one. She is a skilled trial lawyer, and a seasoned behind-the-scenes advocate. She is very versatile, and effective. I recommend her highly.
