I PROSECUTED OVER 20,000 CASES. NOW I CAN HELP YOU. CALL 425-395-4918

Being charged with a crime is a difficult thing. You may be confused, scared, even a little bit angry. You want someone to stand up for your side, someone to tell you what to do. 

My name is Lance Fryrear. I’m a former prosecutor. Call me now at for your free consultation. I will identify your best defense and tell you what to do. 

You may be asking yourself “Why should I call this guy?” Well, the bottom line is that I know what I’m doing. I paid my dues as a prosecutor for seven years so I know how the system works. 

If you have a legal defense, I will find it.  If not, my experience as a prosecutor gives me an edge in trying to keep you out of jail. 

Remember, when a prosecutor is trying to put you in jail you need someone on your side who is just as experienced with the system. Many attorneys handle only a handful of cases a year. 

Those attorneys are unlikely to have been exposed to all the defenses that can help your case. 

I examined thousands of defenses a year as a prosecutor. I will find your best defense. 

In addition, when you call for your free consultation, you will also learn: 

1)      What you can do today to seriously improve your chances in court

2)      How you can miss less work by getting your first court date waived

3)      What to do to avoid jail pending trial

4)      What sentence you are realistically facing

 

You’ll also receive a free copy of my report:”10 Things Every Person Charged With A Crime Must Know.” Just pick up the phone and call.

Listen, any criminal charge is a serious matter. You need the best help you can get. There is no obligation. Call now to get the help you need. Call now and I’ll be there for you.

Great Experience and Thank You for Everything
Lance and his team are exceptional. Annie, was always available for my questions and kept me in the loop every step of the way. I felt so thankful to have them help me at a very stressful time of my life. From start to finish, I can't thank Annie and Lance enough for all that they did to help me. I highly recommend Lance and his team to anyone.

Great Experience!
I was faced with allegations of domestic violence. I consulted Lance Fryrear's law office and got very timely & appropriate legal advice. My case was handled by Julia ( under the guidance of Lance ). I can not thank them enough, they brought my criminal charges to ONLY DVMRT classes and the case was dismissed. They are very knowledgeable, respectful, and walked me out through the whole process. Highly recommended !!

Incredible and helpful team!
Lance represented me during my first court case, and I could not have been more grateful that I chose his firm. Since I was new to the process, the team provided me with constant support, answered all of my questions, and overall made everything go smoothly. Lance (and everyone I interacted with) acted in a professional manner and made sure I understood what was going on every step of the way. During such a difficult time in my life, it was incredible to not have to worry about taking care of all the details. I would absolutely recommend Lance Fryrear’s services to anyone, as he and his team are immensely knowledgeable and dependable.

Forever grateful
Lance Fryrear is a very able and highly respected criminal defense attorney in the Seattle area. My sibling, who is a professional in the computer industry, was charged with a DV misdemeanor. My sibling maintained that he held his spouse's wrist during a domestic dispute and no more. This whole matter was a source of extraordinary anxiety and consternation for us. However, we were fortunate to retain Lance. Lance is measured and thoughtful in speech as well as temperament. In emotionally trying situations, he is an invaluable steadying influence. His assessments are precise and sober-minded, drawing from his wealth of legal experience. He secured a highly satisfactory outcome for my sibling and kept us on track throughout. I can say with confidence that Lance has earned the respect of prosecutors in the Seattle area. My sibling and I will be forever grateful to Lance for his services.

Extraordinary attorney.
Lance and his elite team did a fantastic job helping me get a Protection Order (a.k.a. Restraining Order) against a stalker pursuing me. The stalker is now defeated, blocked from all contact, and I can start feeling safe again. He is well-versed in the law, caring, and fast to respond to questions and concerns. He took the time to do the best representation meticulously. He mounted a successful case and got the protection I needed. If you have any legal matters in Washington state, I endorse Lance and his fantastic team. I have Lance on my speed dial now. I encourage you to as well!

Helped me in a time of critical need.
Helped resolve an issue that could've landed me years in jail time and thousands in fines. They protected my name, and helped me prove to the court that I wasn't who the prosecutor claimed I was. Very helpful and patient people. God bless them!

Amazing team!
These guys are indeed professionals. Want to point out Angelina Petrosyan who lead my criminal court case. If this team is presenting you in court be sure that you are 100% protected. Definitely going to recommend my friends and aquaintances.

Kind, Caring, Compassionate, Excellent Result!
I had a pleasure working with Lance and his team, especially Angelina Petrosyan I would like to thank them for how flexible, empathic, fair, and kind they where. Their commitment to the quality of their work was impeccable. I am so appreciative for them working on my case and couldn’t have chosen a better firm to do so. I chose this law firm because of how respectful and determined they were to get me and excellent result! Foremost Angelina, went out of her way to ensure that I received the best possible outcome on my case. She maintained an excellent level of communication with me throughout this very tedious process. Angelina Petrosyan really helped guide me and ease the burden on my shoulders during this very difficult time of my life, I can’t recommend Angelina and her team enough.

The Attorneys attorney
Lance and his team exhibited unwavering professionalism. Anything we could think of to help the case, they had already thought of. The preparation that went into the hearing was nothing short of spectacular. When it came time for court, Lance laid it out and nailed it. I was so pleased with the work that went into the preparation for the case that even if we had not won, I knew the effort was there. Good attorneys with a fire inside are hard to come by. When it was go time, Lance brought it!! I could not Highly recommend any attorney more than I recommend Lance and his team Thank you Lance for being our advocate.

Truly caring and goes away above and beyond.....
I had an incident unfortunately in our life like many of us do. It left me scared feeling alone unsure of what would happen in my life in my life. I would be exaggerating if I say in one visit they solved all of my issues but I will say in 1 visit they took me from fearing for everything I have to understanding that I would be OK. Gay. The team here is here is 2nd to none. You will never find a more affordable and caring team of lawyers to help you out . I cannot express enough how amazing they are thank you so much for getting me a dismissal in the end and helping me realize how to be a better person at the same time.

Professional & Helpful
Lance and his team of attorneys were top notch in helping my aged step-father navigate a DV charge and protection order cases. Their services were comprehensive and detailed. Communication with the office was effortless and messages were always returned promptly. Their competent and thorough treatment of each case resulted in a win! Would highly recommend their services.

LANCE FRYREAR GOT THE JOB DONE
My first meeting with Lance was enough to retain his services, he communicated very clearly the legal process and did a nice job framing my expectations on the potential outcomes. He and his firm are very familiar with the local court and personnel and that was very comforting. All along the way there was consistent clear communication on all aspects of the proceedings. He was very confident the case would be dismissed and he had to work extra hard to make it happen, and it did. Thank you Lance.
