Jesse R Corkern

I was facing felony "intent to distribute" drug charges in the city of Seattle. After speaking with several lawyers who all treated me like a drug dealer, which I am not, I found Jesse and his small team down in Pioneer Square the right fit for my needs. From the moment I arrived I was treated li...ke just another person, and not looked down upon for what I was facing. He talked to me about my case straight and the outcomes I could face while not being intimidating or too light on the subject, which I appreciate. I don't like serious topics such as this sugar-coated so finding Jesse was a perfect match. I hired Jesse to defend me criminally and to help get my property that was seized by the police back. While the state decided to never press any charges, he was instrumental in getting my car and money that had been seized by the police some 9 months back, for a token payment of $500. Not a bad outcome for someone who was facing 12-20 months in prison for felony possession and intent to distribute. Jesse was a little hard to get an e-mail response from from time to time, but that is not him, just lawyers in general, every one of them, so don't take it personally. I would hire Jesse and his team should I ever need legal representation again. Jesse is a straight talker who, as a former prosecutor, knows the system, and will walk you every step of the way.

It was terrific from first meeting Jesse and sensing that his firm was willing and well able to argue my case, advocate the ideas, and appeal if requested. Throughout the process I was happy with this representation, and even decided to wear a hat in court based on our U.S. 1st Amendment (and WA incl...uding religious sovereignty in the constitution too.) I'm thankful for the outcome, and to Jesse and his amazing team!

Jesse was knowledgable, friendly, efficient and professional handling my photo enforced speeding ticket. I would highly recommend him for anyone who find themselves in need of a lawyer. I was in a difficult situation where I had misplaced my original ticket that was mailed to me and only realized I h...ad a commit a driving infraction when I received a post card notice from the city and the fine had already increased. I contacted his office and was treated with respect, kindness, and importance even though my needs were less then serious. Jesse made himself available when I needed to see him or contact him and assured me he would handle my speeding ticke problems as he has a great deal of experience with speeding tickets and the city of Seattle. I grew nervous with the collection date looming, but Jesse assured me this was just a formality with the city using some other lawyer talk I can't remember but it put my nerves at ease. With in a couple weeks he provided a letter from the city informing me that the case had been dismissed and the speeding ticket and fine were a thing of the past. The best possible outcome I could have hoped for. Jesse has very classic looking law office downtown and I especially appreciated that he has a bowl of change on his desk for his clients to pay the meter. The reason I would come back to Jesse (lets hope I don't have to) is that he was friendly and personable, but still professional and down to business when needed. It gave me a great sense of relief to have Mr. Corkern working for me.

Jesse and his staff helped me get a traffic accident (of which I was at fault) dismissed from my record. Jesse was professional and was in constant communication with me throughout the process. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone seeking legal advice and will be sure to call on him in the futu...re if needed.

I admit I was in violation of the law and because of my criminal background I was looking at 7+ years in state prison for Felon in Possession of a firearm. I was sweating bullets, no pun intended, and Jesse Corkern assured me that the law would not allow me to do the time. I was caught redhanded with... an AR-15 assualt rifle, an XD-45 semi automatic, and a military bulletproof vest, no dancing around the facts, I was planning my exit out of the country in a very descrete manner. I was really worried about the outcome to police were all lying about how things really went down when they arrested me. The State of Washington wanted to rap me up and ship me out for a long time. The state offered me 3.5 years as a "PLEA BARGIN", deal my a** I was starting to go through a lot of emotions, everything I have worked for is gone if I let the state intimidate me... It felt so good to win and put the state attorney in the loser's box. The feelings of helplessness is the worst and to be steamrolled by the state. I have had other private lawyers in the past and public defenders too, they aren't in my phone. I trust this lawyer and I will only call Jesse. If anyone can make it happen Jesse can. My Freedom is worth my weight in gold! Again Thank you Jesse from me and my family and I have no problem telling my friends, family and strangers.
