One of Seattle's Best

Chris is simply amazing. His demeanor and attention to your case both inside and out of court is wonderful. Chris walked me through my Deferred DUI one step at a time and is still willing to answer questions about my charges. The advantage of using Chris is that he has worked around and with many ...judges and prosecutors, which set my mind at ease. Chris will do everything possible to make court appearences quick and painless. He's an excellent choice for any matter.

Dismissed

Christopher Maryatt was recommended to me by a friend. She was absolutely correct when she said he was a very good attorney. He succeeded in getting my ticket dismissed for driving too fast for the road/weather conditions. He was professional, is obviously very bright and kept me informed throughout... the entire process. I definitely and highly recommend him.

Not Guilty

He handled a reckless driving charge I was wrongfully accused of. I had probation on a DUI and needed to have this one dismissed. The prosecutor wouldnt do it so we had a trial. He was much better than the prosecutor. His closing argument to the jury was really good. The jury took about twenty minute...s to find me not guilty.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Chris since law school, and he consistently possesses a warm personality and outgoing spirit. After law school, he worked at the King County Prosecutor's Office handling numerous DUI's and other serious cases on a daily basis. He was always kind to opposing counsel, respectful of the defendants and their situations, and a strong advocate for the state. He applies that same skill set to criminal defense, where he combines his zealous advocacy with compassion and strong communicating skills, putting his clients at ease while doing the best possible job on their case."

"I trust Chris with my clients without question. When I'm in trial he goes to court with my other clients, he's kind, respectful, and thinks on his feet is a situation arises that we did not expect. My clients leave feeling cared for and confident that while I may not have appeared they were in good hands. Chris' ethics also are something I admire."
