For Almost 40 Years, JHB Has Successfully Represented People Charged With Serious Offenses In State And Federal Court. Honored In Best Lawyers In America Since 1999, JHB Is An Attorney With A Northwest Practice And International Reputation. Martindale-Hubbell Consistently Rates Him As A "Most Preeminent Lawyer."
Google us and you’ll quickly see we worked on a few very famous cases. Over the past 4 decades JHB has also been featured in several nationally-recognized newspapers, including the New York Times for his high profile cases including serial killer Ted Bundy, Benjamin Ng, Colton Harris-Moore (the "Barefoot Bandit"), and Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales.
We’re proud of that work, but just as proud of the other 99 percent of the cases we manage every day. Most of our cases are just regular people throughout Washington who have either been charged with a crime or think they might be soon.
Browne's unceasing advocacy and the daring to take on some of the most unwinnable cases—and nearly win them all—has led 48 Hours' Peter Van Sant to call him "the most famous lawyer in America."
Getting arrested is scary enough whether it’s you or someone you love. Suddenly, you’ve got to quickly hire a criminal defense attorney and hope they’re the BEST one for your case. The most important phone call you just might ever make doesn’t need to feel like throwing a dart at the wall with a blindfold on.
Serious Charges Need An Attorney With Serious Skills…Plus Lots Of Compassion, Integrity And Resources.
John Henry Browne Is The One To Call When It's All On The Line.
