Our Firm is a Leader in DUI Defense Call 1-800-DUI-HERO - Available 24/7! EXCELLENCE, EXPERIENCE, EMPATHY, ENTHUSIASM
OUR MISSION AT DUI HEROES: To provide the highest quality legal representation for individuals charged with DUI and DUI related coffenses, as well as other minor traffic offenses, major felonies, and all areas of criminal law in general.
For over 7 years, I served as the Prosecutor for the City of Edmonds handling an average of 1000 criminal cases a year. I prosecuted around 100 DUI cases each year and I am a skilled DUI and criminal litigator, well-versed in current laws. I add a unique viewpoint to Dichter Law Office, as I can look at a case from both a Prosecutor’s and Defense Attorney’s perspective to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a case and find the best possible solution for our clients.
I look forward to helping our clients through a very difficult time in their lives. Many people do not have any familiarity with the criminal justice system and I look forward to helping you navigate that process as smoothly and painlessly as possible. I will provide strong, competent, and caring representation. Most importantly, I will fight hard to get you the best possible result for your case.

Rachel Reich is well versed in the nuance of the courtroom. As a former prosecutor, she's familiar with what the City/State is looking for in their cases and has excellent insight into how to defend those cases. Do not hesitate to contact Rachel for your criminal defense needs.

I endorse Rachel Reich without reservation. I faced her many times as a prosecutor. She is extremely intelligent and has excellent presence in the courtroom. She can think on her feet, and understands the system in a way that will make her a formidable opponent for prosecutors, and an amazing advocate for her clients.

I have worked on many cases with Rachel when she served as a prosecutor. She was always thoughtful, kind, and fair. My favorite quality is how direct she is at addressing an issue, no nonsense, just clear and concise in her ability to resolve matters. I am so excited she is now on our side.
Brian Ashbach, Criminal defense Attorney on May 2, 2017

Rachel was a wonderful attorney to deal with when she was a prosecutor. Very thorough, knew what she was doing, well-prepared, and easy to deal with. I'm sure she will be an excellent addition to the defense bar.

Rachel is a smart, hardworking attorney. I highly endorse her.
Paul Hanson, DUI and DWI Attorney on May 1, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I strongly endorse this lawyer. I have had many DUI, criminal & traffic ticket cases with Rachel over the last 7.5 years while she served as the Edmonds City Prosecutor. I always found her to be tough yet fair in every case. She knew the law and sought to vigorously enforce it. Yet she always considered the mitigating / extenuating factors that called for leniency. I expect her to be just as good a defense attorney as she was as a prosecutor.
Brandon Feldman, DUI and DWI Attorney on Apr 27, 2017
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have known Rachel as a prosecutor for Zachor and Thomas for the last 5+ years. Rachel was a fantastic advocate for the City of Edmonds cases where one could easily deduce she had a passion/commitment for the entity she was charged to defend. Now as a defense attorney I expect no less from Rachel. Her ability to handle witnesses and the courtroom as a prosecutor will easily translate to what's necessary for every individual case in which she is hired. Accordingly, I would place my undivided trust in hiring Rachel without any reservations.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer
Rachel is a highly respected practitioner. She is, above all, a real 'people person' who is deeply passionate about her work. All that caring and dedication makes Rachel a superb attorney because these are qualities not all bar members possess. I unquestionably endorse Ms. Reich!
Jonathan Dichter, DUI and DWI Attorney on Apr 13, 2017
Relationship: Co-worker
Rachel is an exceptional attorney who cares about her clients and their cases in a way that is seldom truly seen. Her attention to detail and excellence in every interaction she has with clients and courts has made her one of the more respected members of the bar. I am proud to have hired her as my first associate.
