If you have the opportunity to consult with him in a DUI matter, you will instantly understand why he has such a famous reputation. I very highly endorse him.

Jon Fox is the most well respected DUI lawyer in Washington State. He literally wrote the book on DUI Defense. For over 30 years, he has lead the battle to provide due process and fairness under the law to people charged with DUI. He is also a very nice guy. He really cares about his clients and it shows. He always takes the time to help other lawyers. When I was a public defender, I could always rely on Mr. Fox to help with complex DUI issues. I highly recommend Mr. Fox to anyone seeking a top notch DUI defense lawyer.
Erasmo Compatore, DUI and DWI Attorney on May 8, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
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. Jon was able to make a legal argument that caused the California courts to deny admission of certain "Intoxilizer" results and he's done about the same here in Washington for the State Patrol's devices. 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. If you have a DUI coming your way, you need to get Jon Fox out in front of it. Don't delay, these cases can move terribly fast.

Having been a member of the National College for DUI Defense for over 10 years now, I have been privileged to get to know many of our nation's finest and most thought of DUI defense attorneys in the country. John Fox is not ony a founding member of the National College for DUI Defense but is considered by many to be one of our nation's finest DUI defense attorneys. His 25 year legacy of professional excellence and genuine care for hundreds of citizen clients few can match. In short, John Fox is the gold standard for DUI Defense attorneys nationwide.
Enrico Leo, DUI and DWI Attorney on Mar 24, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
If one didn't know Jon you would think that he was just starting out and trying to make a name for himself instead of being one of the two names on the cover of the Defending DUIs in Washington book. I say that because it is amazing to me the work ethic that Jon has. In the 13 years that I have known him he has not slowed down one bit. He is always in court, always taking on new challenges and always representing his clients like no other. He is one of the handful of attorneys in my field that I have always looked up to and I have always tried to carry myself in the same manner as he does. It is an honor to endorse him.
