Jonathan Dichter

I sought out Jonathan’s services over 1 year ago as I was charged with DUI w/refusal. Anyone would have written me off as guilty upon hearing the circumstances involved in my case, Jonathan never once conveyed to me that he believed me to be guilty throughout the duration of my case. I’d never been accused of a DUI before and was feeling very embarrassed when talking to Jonathan about it initially. He normalized my perspective, reminded me that what caused the situation had already passed, and encouraged me to focus on the present and future. Jonathan did everything within his power to help assuage my fears, embarrassment, and concerns by educating me on the process of a DUI case, communicating with 100% transparency, and exuding a very high level of confidence in his abilities, which was only surpassed by his ability to back it up. Jonathan is well known in the Snohomish County court system, but my case was being tried in Pierce County. This detail didn’t impact Jonathan’s confidence one bit. In fact, when the court demonstrated a clear bias for the State’s case and perspective, this seemed to fuel Jonathan even more to win my case. Using his expertise in the field and his powerful presence in court, the result was that Jonathan succeeded in winning my case! The case was dismissed and I didn’t receive any fines or penalties! I couldn’t have asked for more and this was the best possible outcome! There were also several qualities that Jonathan demonstrated that distinguish him as the best there is at what he does in my mind. A few of these qualities included the following: -He was extremely responsive to all of my communications, whether they be via phone, email, or text. And he certainly means it when he says you can call him 24hrs a day! -He wasn’t afraid of the potential of blazing a new trail in case law with my case. In other words, he doesn’t just conduct his work within the framework of prior case results. He looks for any and all possibilities. -Jonathan highly values & prioritizes customer service (he gave me a Starbucks gift card just because an appointment before one of mine with him went over by a few minutes). -He was very open and understanding of my financial situation in regards to setting up a payment plan that worked for me. He also was open to postponing my final payment a couple of weeks due to unforeseen financial circumstances I encountered at the time. -He waived fees for me as a result of the circumstances we’d encountered with the court. -While working on my case, he encountered a significant life event that could have served as a distraction to his work. Regardless of this, he never faltered in his efforts to win my case and I never got the sense he was focused on anything else but my case. -After court was dismissed, the jury all stayed after to chat with Jonathan about his fine work in court. Several of the jury members were so impressed with his work in my case that they asked him for his business card in case they ever were in a similar predicament! -He has his adorable dog in his office. This simple detail helped to make me feel more comfortable in a very stressful and embarrassing situation. -His secretary/assistant is quite possibly the most genuinely nice person you will ever encounter! She made the logistical side of things extremely easy and I never got off the phone with her without a smile on my face. -The investigator that he provides to serve as an expert witness in his cases was also very professional and seemed very confident in Jonathan’s abilities. -I noticed he is very prompt in arriving to court hearings and is often the first counsel in attendance (which helps with getting in and getting out of court hearing quickly). Jonathan will fight tooth and nail for you using all that he has at his disposal to obtain the best possible outcome. I can’t imagine going through my experience without Jonathan’s support and can’t thank him enough for his help!

Jonathan, was incredible in managing my case. He and his associates were accommodating and very kind towards me thru some very difficult times in my life. Never judgmental towards the situation I found myself in. I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone needing a attorney.

I was charged with DUI breath refusal in Mill Creek. I was devastated. I went to interview multiple attorneys to represent me but out of all of them, I made a connection with Jonathan. He was the only one that was undeniably interested in helping me. The process was long and arduous and the prosecutor did not budge - they wanted me to plead guilty to DUI. Jonathan advised me to go to trial and needless to say, I was very nervous to sit in front of a jury and have my life hang in the balance. He kept reassuring me and telling me that he would do everything in his power to fight for me. And he did. We went to trial and Jonathan was able to get me a NOT GUILTY verdict. Seeing all the kind things people say about Jonathan should give you all the confidence in the world to let him represent you. His team of himself, Andi and Rachel will work for you and care for you in your time of need. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs someone to represent them with the type of knowledge, diligence and care that Jonathan and his team provide. Best DUI defense attorney in Washington.

My problem started with my FIRST DUI, I was very embarrassed and upset with myself. Not knowing where to turn, I researched defense attorneys (many) who specialized in this area of the law. From the very first conversation I knew this was the RIGHT FIRM. Not only was Jonathan and his team responsive, supportive and focused, they were MY advocate. The advice I received was simple, let them do the worrying and follow their instructions. I followed their advice in a timely and dillgent manner. This resulted in Jonathan being able to provide the court with “proactive” evidence that I was committed to doing the things needed in an attempt to right a wrong. Based on what I had read and prepared for, the final result was much better than I expected. As a matter of fact, at first, I was in disbelief at what Jonathan was able to negotiate with the prosecutor. I HIGHLY recommend anyone who finds themselves in this difficult and stressful situation to contact Jonathan and his team for a consultation. I can asssure you that my experience was this, they WILL return calls, they WILL provide you with sound advice, they WILL research and investigate your specific details and they WILL be YOUR ADVOCATE. NO law firm can guarantee results and some of the burden of presenting your case will fall to you to do your part. YOU have to be committed to following advice of counsel in order to get the best possible result. Jonathan and team, thank you for providing excellent and sound advice and delivering an OUTSTANDING result.

The Dichter Law Office represented me after I was charged with a BAC refusal DUI. I had a prior DUI in the early 2000s, so I was in a tough situation. His team was excellent and their hard work resulted in a plea to a lesser charge, which is fantastic! I contracted this firm's services the day after the arrest. Jonathan met with me personally within an hour of contacting them. He was informative, clear, and positive that he could assist me in this matter. That day I was full of sadness. I was defeated and felt like I ruined my life for getting myself into this situation. Jonathan acknowledged this and told me while it's okay to be worried, let him do the worrying for now on. I knew right then I was in good hands and had great representation for this incident. He has a team at this firm that works together to give clients the best opportunities for success. Their hard work paid off by resulting in my case being reduced to lesser charges and a much more manageable situation for me personally and financially. I can't thank Jonathan enough for his dedication, professionalism, and compassion. Thank you!!!

Jonathan and Rachel were the most amazing attorneys I’ve ever worked with. When my case was a very difficult case he gave me the best advice and told me exactly how it was so I was always prepared. I hired him originally for a case that was a bit old. It was not you’re usual case. He stick with me through it all and then some. He even took an additional case for me. He’s reliable, personable, honest, clever and is truly great at his job.

DUI HEROES took my after hours phone calls and the information they needed from me Someone promptly returned my call the following morning with advice on what steps to take next along with a series of more detailed questions so they could have the information they need to help us out. They gave us all of the possibilities good and bad without sugarcoating the situation. they were able to make all of our court dates, remote video chat which was very convenient. We had a private meeting before each hearing with them, giving us advice on what to say, and not to say. The outcome resulted in a reduced DUI charge of negligent driving in the first degree with no jail time, and no supervised probation. There will be no DUI on record after the two-year probation. With that behavior. We are very happy with the results and have talked to plenty of people that did not get proper representation and ended up spending four times what it cost us for our representation.

Jonathan and his team are truly amazing! Always pleasant to interact with but most importantly they are incredible at what they do! Jonathan answered my phone call and took me on as a client on Christmas Eve! (who even works Christmas Eve?!) Once the ball was rolling, I was working with Katie! She made my first-time court experience feel so comfortable and stress free. She and the rest of the team are so professional & great at keeping you in the loop, while not bombarding you constantly. In the end, these HEROES got my charge completely dropped! I can’t thank them enough! They are truly worth the money & I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

Jonathan was the first person I met when I got in trouble. He walked me through there the case and told me about all possible out comes. He is very professional, friendly and mindful. It’s definitely a place I can refer the entire world to # DONT DRINK AND DRIVE.

Jonathan answered questions at all times of day, anything from the serious and concerned to the petty and inane, and he treated all of my questions with respect, as though they were super important to him (even if the question was just about his dog.) 10/10 would recommend and use again (although I hope we don't have to!)

The DUI Heroes team are experts in the law, and help make clear a beneficial path forward during a very difficult emotional time. Their demonstrated competence in the DUI process truly means one can focus attention elsewhere and work on the other non-legal issues that come up and are always associated with a DUI. I am aware of other folks in my situation who simply didn't make the right choice of lawyers...in fact there were three people in my new 'sobriety' group who hired lawyers for basically the same charge, but paid much more money (in one case, about three times the amount) and still complained about not having phone calls returned, and still complained about the end results. On the other hand, I had phone calls rapidly returned. I had lists of questions answered responsively. I had a case negotiated very well in my favor with the DOL, and with the Court. I had a team of lawyers (three) and an office manager all familiar with my case. If you are in the tough situation where you need a DUI lawyer, don't make the situation any tougher. Hire Jonathan's Dichter's team. I don't even want to think of how I could have made it through this process without them.

It's a frightening experience to be arrested for DUI, jailed, and then have to fight for your rights. All along the way, I was treated with respect, honesty, and genuine kindness. I finally took a plea deal that was negotiated by Jonathan, and I felt that this was the best possible outcome. If you are in a similar situation, do not hesitate to call this team. They are worth every penny.

Jonathan is a kind, compassionate, and wonderful person and lawyer. He has a strong and knowledgeable tema behind him. They are prime communicators and excel at answerimg all of your questions promptly. I feel so lucky to have found them!!!!

After being continuously bounced around for TWO years at the public defenders' association, and never getting much time or response by phone or email from my four (yes, 4!) different attorneys, I was told by the most recently assigned lawyer that the state of WA would never negotiate further and I was asked to decide whether to go to court (with a case my attorneys didn't feel confident they could win) or agreeing to a DUI plea that was pretty close to the same offer to begin with, years prior. ALL of that changed after talking to Jonathan Dichter! When I reached out to Mr. Dichter for his advice, he and his courteous team were immediately responsive, superbly professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, thorough, patient to listen, and eager to help IN EVERY WAY! I never felt rushed during a case-review session or phone call. All of my questions were answered to my FULL understanding and satisfaction. Each attorney and legal staff person performed in a service manner that was way above-par, and I know the norm for lawyers after having worked for many of them for over 30+ years. I was completely respected and taken care of from the very first in-depth consultation, then assisted every step through the confusing, intimidating and taxing process of a multiple-charge case that became strongly re-negotiated soon after Mr. Dichter was hired... That's when REAL progress was made! Jonathan ordered and researched full toxicology reports that no other counselor had even thought of or was willing to do. He found three different reasons for botched blood "evidence." He and his team thoroughly reviewed the WSP's recorded video several times, and meticulously checked for the legality (or possible illegality) of every word and action made by both me AND the trooper. In order to help me understand the initial process should I choose trial, Jonathan prepared his motions for my consideration which were brilliant in scope and number, demonstrating not only his legal expertise but his tenacity and commitment to providing the strongest defense possible. I felt fully included in every discussion and fully supported by wise, factual counsel. Though I ultimately chose to waive the risk of a jury trial, I had absolute confidence and assurance that Jonathan was FULLY prepared with a winnable, aggressive case. And I was in awe how, in just a handful of months, his team accomplished far more than my prior attorneys, combined, over a two-year period! Jonathan's discovery of botched "evidence" and firm negotiations successfully got the state to finally revert to a minimal Neg 1 charge and dismiss the secondary charge. I was very satisfied with this result from the team's continually strong defense -- a great outcome that no one else was able to accomplish. Jonathan's presentation at my change-in-plea hearing was solid and professional, even stating (for the record) the less than stellar treatment I received from the arresting officer -- something my former attorneys were unwilling to address at my hearing, but which was highly important to me that the judge at least hear this opinion about the officer's conduct before my sentencing. Overall -- once DUI Heroes took over my case, I never again felt qualms or insecurities regarding the legal advice and defense I received. Beyond being just a client, they treated me more like a friend or family member, and I had real peace and assurance, from consultation to final hearing, always knowing I was getting OUTSTANDING legal representation. Thank you, DUI Heroes!

I contacted Johnathan on a Sunday and he immediately responded the same day. I highly recommend DUI Heroes if you are in need of an attorney. Communication is exceptional and they truly are there for you from start to finish.
