Diego represented me in a difficult court case that could have ended in devastating consequences to me. However because of Diego’s exceptional understanding of the law, he worked hard and was successful in getting my case dismissed. I was overwhelmed with relief and gratitude to have this strenuous p...eriod of my life over with. Diego’s record for winning court cases is one of the highest in his area of expertise. He has also been responsible for successfully challenging and changing existing laws concerning the legality of certain practices used by state authorities. He is definitely an attorney concerned with and active in protecting your human rights. However the most important quality Diego has is the compassion he feels for his client’s. He genuinely cares. It was so comforting to me to know that Diego was available not just to discuss the details of my case but to calm any unfounded fears that I had. Diego is a person of integrity who provides the best possible defense for his clients

I found my way to Diego after getting a ticket for driving on a revoked license (in the second degree) which was complicated by a recent DUI. Consequently, I was possibly looking at several months in jail and an additional loss of my driving privileges for another year. I can’t say enough about how... responsive Diego’s office was, as well as him personally. I was amazed to receive reminder letters and calls about upcoming court dates and to have calls and emails from me promptly responded to. Diego’s calming and friendly presence was a welcome change to my past experience with attorney’s where I felt like I was the necessary evil as soon as I turned my check over. Most importantly I received, what I believe to be, a very positive settlement to my case with me retaining my driving privileges and getting no jail time.

I may not have been one of the County's worst DUI offenders, but I sure felt like it. The Saturday that I meekly walked into Diego's office, shaking, remorseful and scared, to find him in a t-shirt, shorts and flipflops with a genuine smile and caring gentle manner gave me a small sense of ease to a... badly bruised ego and sorrowful soul. Having worked in the civil area of law for 20+ years, I had some idea what would happen in court, but I was always provided with a briefing on what was going to happen that day, and he was always right. Criminal courts are scary with the potential of losing your freedom and loss of driving privileges, but I always felt confident with him on my side. If I would have had to face these issues on my own or with another less compassionate, less experienced attorney, I am not sure my psyche would have carried me through in tact. Diego not only provided me with support and encouragement, but my mother as well. She was there with me at every hearing and step along the way, and his graciousness with her amazed me to no end. There were times when I would leave messages on his voice mail long after business hours were over and he always responded within 24 hours. During a portion of the time of my 2 year court ordeal, there was a short period when he was unavailable to be in court with me due to a high-profile case he was handling and a highly-publicized fight with the courts and State about breath test issues. Diego sent the most experienced lawyers from his office to attend those hearings with me. When that case and his successful fight over breathalyzer calibration issues were over and he was able to appear with me in court again, me, the criminal, received the most genuine and heart felt apology from him for not being able to have been with me during those few routine court appearances. In my experience of working with attorneys I have never seen that display of compassion from attorney to client. We went through a 2 day jury trial, and in the end Diego, the superhuman lawyer, convinced the jury that I was not the only one at fault in this incident. Not guilty was the verdict. It has been over a year since that trial and there is not a day that I leave my house in the morning and forget to quietly thank him for my freedom. I am a tough cookie and can be quick to criticize an attorney as to their professionalism, demeanor and knowledge. Diego and his staff all deserve five stars in every category. They kept me informed; kept me sane; and kept me from losing my house, my pets and my career. Thank you Diego! You are the Dream Team of Washington State!!

Excellent lawyer. Diego has an incredible understanding of the laws & during a 2-day trial the Judge reached out to Diego for specific law changes. Diego fought hard during this 2-day trial & in turn the jury came back with a "not guilty" verdict for me. I was very fortunate to have had such a pr...ofessional, courteous outgoing individual on my side. Without Diego's expertise and will to fight for justice this could have been devastating. Diego actually cared and it showed. Diego was available 7 days a week and met with me many times on evenings or weekends and always returned phone calls and e-mails immediately. Diego always kept me calm during this 2 1/2 year ordeal. If anyone ends up in the same unfortunate circumstance I highly recommend Diego and Fox Bowman Duarte. They are a first class, top notch law firm with an A-team lawyer in Diego.
