Hiring Jon was the best decision I could have made
I won't go into details about myself but know that I was in a particularly difficult situation and had a real uphill battel in front of me when I went to Jon. Jon knows the law inside and out. He has seen almost every "if then" scenario and proceeds only after careful evaluation of each decision, considering the possible results and after thoughtful consultation with me. Beyond the procedural Xs and Os, Jon is a brilliant tactician, Judges, DAs, experts, timelines, results, are all variables that change. Jon knows when to move forward and when to stand fast and most importantly - how to be best prepared at each stage. He understands the way the system works and translated that in plain English and clear choices. He educated me such that I could do much of the ‘soon to be expected’ work up front on my own timeline, and at my convivence. This was very deliberate and super helpful to the outcome of my case. I will note that equally important to me is the humanity I saw in Jon. I was not paying a lawyer to be my therapist, but he honestly wants to see people get better and gave me hope I did not have before. He understands the crisis of addiction. He never judged me, made me feel less of myself, and always treated me with respect. At the same time was upfront about both the best- and worst-case scenarios. I knew Jon always had my best interest in mind and was quick to respond when I had questions or concerns. I could depend on Jon to advise and even coach me in a nonjudgmental way, so we would be successful. His integrity was clear at every interaction we had, and I always felt better after we talked. And that was hard considering the possibilities we were discussing. He is a good person and well liked, and you also see that shine in court. He is always prepared, and I knew I had the absolute best lawyer when those dreaded Zoom calls started. There is a noted gravitas afforded to Jon that only comes with the combination of professionalism, tenure, and the expertise he possesses. I realize this is a long-winded review, but if someone is in the state I was in, it is the kind of information that would have helped me be successful. Jon was a critical part of that. Today I have my life back, job security, and most importantly, my family again. I would not change a thing with my decision to hire Jon and if you find yourself in a similar position, you should strongly consider my experience to make your decision. Good luck (and much of that is in your own control with Jon). I wish you well in both your legal challenges and successfully coping with whatever drove you to be in this situation.

Jon is a great man. Someone who will provide aid from start to end.
If you have found yourself on this page reading this review - Take a deep breath and know you are probably in the best place you can be in. I say that. because I remember reading countless reviews before deciding to hire Jon. Fighting a DUI is a time consuming process that may take 6 to 24 months depending on the routes you take. Jon will make sure every concern is taken care of from start to finish - He makes himself available for any questions or concerns throughout the entire legal process. He will make sure you make it through court and through the license reinstatement process or any processes required to make your life back to normal. With Jon you'll never be alone throughout the entire process. He will take care of you as if you were his family. Good luck with your journey and remember this episode doesn't define your life. In my situation we were able to get the prosecution to agree to get a reduced charge of negligent driving. I highly recommend Jon if you are in a position to utilize his services.

Wow, what an excellent experience I had!
Mr. Fox is a very caring and compassionate lawyer. He did everything in his power to reduce my case from a DUI to negligent driving—the most favorable outcome possible. Mr. Fox was able to translate complicated legal matters into terms that I could understand, and that was important to me. He was also very punctual, and that helped to relieve a lot of my stress. If you do everything he says, chances are your legal matters will be much, much less severe. At least, that's what I experienced—he's just that good. This is a man who truly loves his work—who truly loves to help people—and for me, that's very respectable and reassuring. He must be one of the best if not the best DUI and DWI lawyer in Bellevue.

Great Representation
I hired Jon after a friend who is a traffic attorney recommended him to me, saying Jon was simply the best. I interviewed 4 different lawyers and ultimately decided to hire Jon because 1. He would work directly on my case 2. His many years of experience specifically with DUI cases and his focus on these kinds of cases 3. His communication style - honest, direct and clear. 4. Showing a lot of care for my case. Even after I hired him, Jon stayed super prompt in his communication and continued to answer my many questions. The case against me was weak and the prosecutor decided to dismiss it before the arraignment. While it's hard to say for sure, I suspect the prosecutor saw Jon was the representing attorney on the case and realized it would be a waste of their time. So the end result was a complete dismissal of the DUI charge. But Jon didn't stop there. He also negotiated reducing my speeding ticket which was part of the DUI to a non moving violation. Jon has basically helped me get the best result I could ask for. Even after the case was dismissed, Jon continued to answer my questions, share tips and advice about next steps and share referrals per my request. I hope I never need Jon's services in the future, but if I or family/friends do, I will absolutely hire him again. Thanks Jon for a great representation!

Jon Fox is a great man who helped me out of a very difficult places and through hard times!
I was in a bad car accident. I was charged with a DUI and had a BAC of .17 . A family member of mine referred me to Jon Fox and without him I have no idea how things in my case would have gone. Jon was able to reduce my sentence to a negligent driving misdemeanor with no jail time as well as no license suspension. Any questions I had he was able to answer quickly and thoroughly which for me really helped alleviate some of the stress from the situation. I was a first time offender and had never been in any kind of situation like this. I’m so thankful Jon was able to give me peace of mind through the process as well as great results. Him and Annette are both fantastic people who I cannot thank enough for all they have done for me.

Jon is The Best
I cannot say enough about how amazing Jon is. I made a horrible choice and drove drunk, I regret it and always will. I was referred to Jon by a friend who made the same bad choice and I knew from the first meeting Jon was and is simply the best. My case has actually taken 2 years. 2 years of anxiety and the unknown that Jon within minutes moments would hop on the phone and calm me down. In our last meeting I actually cried and told him I'd miss him because he's actually that caring. Jon will fight for you as if you're his own child. Hire him, you won't regret it.

Outstanding work, I'm glad that my case is handled by Mr.Fox
Mr.Fox helped me through my entire endeavor of DUI, I still remember the day I was pulled over and got arrested for speeding and driving under influence, I was shaken and became very anxious over the time, had many sleepless nights. But, Mr.Fox helped me through this entire time, answering any questions at any time of the day and responding very quickly to my emails. Also, helping me with reinstating my drivers license back when the DOL offices were closed during these COVID times. I'm very happy that I worked with him; Also, whenever we went to the court, I noticed that he is familiar with most of the people inside the court. I'm finally glad that I got the best resolution possible. I highly recommend Mr.Fox for any of your DUI charges and he is the best in the industry and will get you the best outcome possible.

Compassionate and an expert at his work
Mr. Fox came highly recommended by another attorney and I couldn't be more happy with my decision. There was a lot at stake, personally and professionally, which made it a very challenging and trying time. Mr Fox and his assistant Annette handled my case with utmost compassion, professionalism ,and maintained excelled communication. I was continuously informed about the status of my case the entire time. Mr. Fox ensured that I was prepared and knew what to expect during each court appearance. I've read through a number of reviews provided by other clients of Mr. Fox prior to writing mine, their testimonies are full of glowing recommendations. I will attest to them whole heartedly without reservation. Mr. Fox is exceptional at his work and treats everyone with respect and compassion.

Hire him right away
If you're reading this then you've mostly made the mistake of driving under the influence. Don't make another one by not hiring Jon. He knows the field and the local courts inside out. Interestingly, you won't get to interact a lot with him- the first consultation and then the first court appearance. That's because he'll take care of everything. But that one visit to the court shows how well he knows the system and the judges. And the best part-he's been answering my questions via email for the past 8 years after my DUI case ended (job, driving through borders, immigration paperwork, etc) for no charge. His responds within minutes. And no, it's not his assistant. It's him answering with super fine details. I've recommended him to couple of friends and they couldn't thank me enough. Don't think twice- hire Jon and have peace of mind.

An honorable man who you’d want on your side!
Attorney Jon Fox is one of the most kind, intelligent and respectable men I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I can’t speak his praises enough and am beyond grateful that I had him in my corner when I received my first ever charge of a DUI. I was pulled over for expired tabs and blew a 0.095. It’s was a traumatizing event for me and felt life changing in so many overwhelmingly bad ways. I didn’t want just anyone to represent me and I didn’t want the courts to see me by my one poor decision. By the grace of God a friend referred Jon to me and me to Jon and I can’t be more thankful. At the time the event seemed all consuming and terrifying but after meeting with Jon it felt like I could breath again and that I would be okay. From the beginning he was willing to go above and beyond to stay in touch and made it very clear that both he and/or his amazing assistant Annette would be there for all instructions, questions or support that I might need. They delivered on all of the above plus some. Immediately after contacting Mr. Fox I was emailed a clear and concise list of steps with clear instructions and all the resources I would need to start resolving the matter at hand. They answered all of my questions and seemed available any time any day. I can’t say how absolutely immeasurable the relief I felt was to have what to do next in front of me in such easy to understand steps. I felt like I could start working to get past this mistake and see my way through to the other side. That’s invaluable in a situation like this. Aside from preparing me for every step of the way and obviously being exceptionally knowledgeable in his field, it was apparent that every person we encountered during court proceedings respected him as much as I do. He was so well-mannered and respectful and it really felt like he was exactly what I wanted in someone who was going to represent me and the morals and virtues I try to hold myself accountable to. I wanted the courts to see that and I tell you there’s not a man you want in your corner and representing you more than Mr.Fox. He helped me more than I can put into words and I’d wish his help and expertise on anyone that is going through what I did. I felt like punishment was due and definitely lessons to be learned but also that I deserved a second chance and graciously he was intelligent, experienced and respectable enough to persuade the courts to do the same. In less than a year from the day I was pulled over my case is almost completely resolved and I’m out the other side of things with end in sight. It felt an insurmountable feat as I sat in the back of a cop car for the first time and now thanks to Jon my life is back on track with minimal damage done and many lessons learned. They broke the mold when they made this lawyer and I tell ya what it doesn’t get any better than Jon Scott Fox. I recommend him with highest respects as a person and an attorney and promise you would too after having him on your side.

Jon Fox is the BEST!
Jon is one of the most professional, knowledgeable, empathetic lawyers out there. He listens, consults his clients and works hard to get the best outcome. Jon is very responsive and I enjoyed working with him. He got my DUI dropped to a Reckless Driving 1st degree and I am so thankful. He was also very kind and didn’t make me feel ashamed during the difficult year I spent dealing with this. I highly recommend Jon to anyone who needs an amazing lawyer.

Best Man
Jon Fox is the best. He is very helpful in his communication with his clients. Works hard to ensure everyone he works with understands what he/she needs to communicate to the jury and/or judge. But most of all he is a great man and cares for everyone he represents.

Hire Jon - You are in good hands
If you are reading this review and needing representation, you are in the right place. A little over a year ago I found myself in a life situation I would never have imagined myself in. After doing extensive research for representation, I came across Jon Fox. This was the best decision I made given a very unfortunate situation I put myself in. Not only does Jon care about you as a person and wants to see you come out of such situations better personally and legally, but he is always a moments text or call away. Jon’s experience in the field and relationships with the judges/court made me feel very thankful to have had someone who has seen just about everything at a court house. From the beginning, he laid out a clear plan, timeline, and deliverables on both our ends. This was executed perfectly and was always there if I ever felt doubtful with myself or had a question. Thanks to Jon and a year of this process, I have not only now recently resolved this situation, but received the most favorable outcome he said could be achieved. I have my life back and have learned and grown personally through this experience, with Jon supporting me at every moment. I would recommend Jon at a moments notice. Thank you, Jon!!

The attorney to hire for a DUI!
Jon Fox is an amazing attorney from beginning to end. I hired him 20 years ago and he was there every step of the way, Always caring, reassuring and so professional in all that he does. He truly cares about his clients and is always accessible when needed. I was so stressed about my DUI and he was able to get an absolute amazing outcome for me. He does his best at all that he does! I chose the best attorney to handle my case and would refer him to anyone I knew that needed legal help with a DUI. I recently called him after 20 years to help me with a current situation and he got back to me the same day with all the answers I needed. He even had all my documentation from my original case and was able to send me copy's for my file. He is the attorney to hire if you need one. He is the best there is!

Best of the best
I met Jon under unfortunate circumstances when I had was charged with a DUI. It happened to occur in one of the strictest courts in the state and he warned me about that. It was a very scary time in my life but Jon put my fears to rest. Something about his demeanor is very calming. He's with you during the entire process and always reachable. He explained how everything would work and there wasn't a single question he couldn't answer. We decided that a plea would be the best option instead of doing a trial and risking a full conviction. My charges were reduced and instead of jail time I paid a (sizeable) fine and did 2-years of probation. We all make mistakes, some worse than others, but if find yourself in a bad situation, Jon is the one you want on your side. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Honest, Caring and a thorough Professional. You sir are the best.
Last year I was arrested on the suspicion of a DUI. I am an immigrant in this country, and a charge like DUI would have been potentially dire for me. I have never been in any kind of trouble with the law before and I still get shivers when I think about that night of my arrest. On the very next day after my arrest, I started calling lawyers to seek professional advice. I still remember when I called Jon, he was with his family shopping for the upcoming festive season. Admittedly, I still feel guilty for disturbing him but he sensed anxiety and panic in my voice and not only he managed to find time to talk to me but his comforting and calming persona made me feel ok for the first time since the incident. When I talked to other lawyers, they promised me the moon but it was only Jon who gave me the most realistic assessment of my case. I knew I had to hire Jon. As soon as I signed him, Jon started working on my case. He sent me a carefully crafted list of actionable items to prepare a solid case for my defense. During the entire process he always kept me informed and what to expect next. Like I said, I am an immigrant so Jon provided me contacts of immigration lawyers and was always there for me during calls with the immigrations lawyers. Few weeks down the line, I got a call from Jon informing he was able to achieve the best possible outcome for my case. He set realistic expectations and delivered me the moon. I am and always shall remain thankful to him.

Amazing Experience
I had gotten pulled over a month ago and was given a DUI. My main goal was to get it off my record as soon as possible. I googled many different lawyers but then was given Jon Fox's information from a professional football player. Being that Jon has represented several professional athletes, I felt I needed to go with him and that he was the best. I made an excellent decision choosing Jon. He is incredible, and was able to help me with my situation immediately. I hope I am NEVER in trouble again but if I was, I would IMMEDIATELY contact Jon. Not only did he save me, he was able to save the professional football player too in his situation. I am 100% convinced Jon Fox is the best lawyer in the state of Washington and I 100% recommend him.

Not just a great lawyer…..
Jon Fox helped me with my hearing,bond, seeking deferred prosecution, keeping perfect records of scheduled meetings, and recommendations for Intelock devices, etc. He or his assistant return calls about any questions immediately. He has been a big part of my recovery from denial about needing to become sober. I am grateful for his competence and compassion and am greatly enjoying sobriety, Jon Fox is the Best!

Jon did an excellent job with my son's case.  He was great about laying out our options during the case with clear language that we could understand. I was particularly impressed on how Jon communicated with my young son. The case was a very long, drawn out process during the pandemic and Jon felt it important to continuously give words of encouragement to my son by pointing out the positives. We appreciate Jon's professionalism, as we always believed that we were getting facts from Jon, good or bad. Jon was able to negotiate a decent deal in the case and I would definitely recommend Jon.

Great lawyer, wonderful human being
I hired Jon last summer after being stopped by the police while driving back home after a small gathering with some friends. I was arrested and taken to the police station the same night: I was simply terrified. I never had any legal trouble and mainly I didn't realize that I was intoxicated at that level and clearly unable to drive. A friend of mine suggested to talk with Jon Fox and after a consultation I hired him right away. From day one Jon helped me navigating through such a challenging time of my life, answering all the questions I had, being honest about the situation, but most important thing he acted with compassion and respect making me feel I was not a terrible person, but I just made a big mistake. Jon was able to negotiate with the prosecutor and the DUI charge was reduced to the charge of Reckless Driving. The process took 5 months, so much less I thought it was going to be. Hiring Jon was the best decision I made during that time and I will be forever grateful.

"I endorse this lawyer. I've known and worked with and around Jon Fox since 1981 when he taught a subject class at my law school in California.

We had several cases together and always bumped into each other in court; I am proud to say that Jon Fox is a "friend" in every sense.
