EXCELLANT ADVOCATE

Jennifer's ability and understanding of the law is impeccable. My case was a complicated multi-state case. She was able to attain relative materials from other states all of which had different processes and procedures of retrieval the aforementioned materials was a key factor in getting my case dism...issed. Her relentless advocacy was so important in helping me get a positive outcome. Being involved in the legal process is a long and arduous process with you need a strong advocate I highly recommend Jennifer if you are in need of legal services.

Best Results We Could Expect

Jennifer Atwood and the team at the Law Office of Amy Muth are awesome. We were terrified of what was happening to our juvenile son and our family as we were being served with a temporary sexual assault protection order, until we called and talked to Jennifer. She immediately relieved some of our fea...rs by accepting our case and by helping us to understand the court processes and expectations. Jennifer always placed a high priority on protecting our son’s privacy while building a very strong case against false and harmful accusations. Because of her knowledge, experience, and strong argument, the court denied the order and all sensitive case material was sealed from public view. We can’t thank Jennifer enough for all of her hard work and dedication.

Hard working and top notch Attorney

I researched for the best attorneys I could find and my search brought me to Amy I. Muth. and Jennifer Atwood. I sought Amy I. Muth to Petition the Court to relieve me of the duty to register as a sex offender. Ms. Muth has bar none the best legal team with Attorney Jennifer Atwood who worked tir...elessly with me to ensure I had the best petition to the court I could possibly have. I had many questions and concerns regarding some of the things needed for my petition and like a professional she carefully and respectful answered all my questions but incredibly soothed my frayed nerves and abated my fears. After a polygraph, psychological assessment, personal references Jennifer Atwood did the hard legal work of putting it all together and then finally presenting my petition to the court. The prosecutor and judge said the Petition was very well done. I was very happy to hear them say that. Not everyone you hire may work this hard and prepare this well but Jennifer Atwood along with Amy I. Muth did and I’m so thankful. I was granted my freedom back again and I no longer am required to register. I did not care that Jennifer Atwood and Ms. Muth was 2 hours from where I live because I knew time and distance means nothing when it comes to something this important. One may only get one shot so it’s wise to get professional legal help with the best out there. In conclusion, you get what you pay for and it helps tremendously to do your research and hire the best out there. In my opinion Jennifer Atwood and Ms. Muth and her legal team is the best out there. Thank God I found them! Thank you Jennifer Atwood.

Jen is an experienced attorney and is highly respected in the legal community. I endorse her without hesitation."

"Jennifer and I started our careers as public defenders in Kitsap County. I (and my clients) were very fortunate to have her join my practice last year. Jen is an incredibly skilled and creative trial lawyer, does not miss issues and has an impressive track record of dismissals and acquittals on complex criminal matters. She is an exceptional attorney when it comes to juvenile defense. She is caring, compassionate, patient, and terrific at putting kids (and her adult clients) at ease and making them feel like she’s in their corner. We’re very lucky to have her!"
