Excellent job

I hired Angela to help me out when I was in a very frightening situation. After speaking with her, I knew she would do everything she could to help me out. I was so grateful for her experience. She was also available to answer any questions I had. And she went above and beyond my expectations. I... would refer her to anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer.

Words can't express...

The relief that came with having my case resolved! I had a family friend who is a criminal defense lawyer but mainly works the pierce county courts. When he tried to strike a plea deal the prosecution would not move one bit! I was fortunate enough to have a good friend refer Angela to me. A former Ki...ng County prosecutor now with her own practice. She is very good at what she does. It's not just all business with her she I had many questions and she made me feel at ease and supported me through my nightmarish ordeal. I was charged with 2nd degree felony assault and when all was said and done, I got a deferred sentence and eventually had my charge dismissed. As you can see having someone who is familiar with a specific court can make a huge difference. I'll recommend Angela to anyone! This review is long over due, sorry Angela!!

The best!

Angela Griffin has represented a number of my friends over the past few years. In every case, her clients have walked away 100% satisfied with the results of her work, honesty and commitment to their cases. I personally had to use her services last year. She kept me informed every step of the proc...ess, represented and protected my best interest and she won the case. I highly recommend Angela for all of your criminal defense needs. You will not find a better attorney!

Job well done!

Angela was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Very knowledgeable and communicative. She made what could have been a very confusing and stressful process much easier to handle. I would definitely recommend Angela!

Angela Griffin is an excellent choice for a criminal defense attorney,

Ms Griffin is very smart, thoughtful, knowledgeable and always kept me up to date with my case. I would highly, and have, recommended her services to anyone facing some sort of criminal charge.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
