An excellent choice

Juanita helped me with a DV case. I had spoke with a few attorneys beforehand and none were able to clear give me answers to my basic questions about the case and the game plan going forward. Possibly since for the most part since the case was rather simple and not a big moneymaker some of the other ...attorneys did not show extreme interest. When I first met with Juanita our conversation was simple yet focused, she listened attentively and then gave her opinion along with her plan for going forward. She was responsive and kept me informed with all the changes even without me asking, which speaks volumes to me about her concern and dedication. In the end we were able to get a favorable outcome. So all in all I would recommend Juanita to anyone needed legal assistance in her area of practice.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Juanita is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Seattle. I have known Juanita for more than 10 years and she has always had a reputation for being an incredibly hard worker who gets great results on cases. We worked together on two third strike cases--and each time I was incredibly impressed by her skill, commitment and hard work. If you are charged with a crime, you are in great hands if you have Juanita as your lawyer."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Juanita since she worked for The Defender Association a decade ago and I recently worked with her on a serious assault case. Juanita is one of the most intelligent, thorough, and compassionate lawyers I have ever worked with. Her depth and breadth of experience--she has handled the most serious types of cases in state and federal court, as well as appeals and post-conviction work--makes her uniquely suited to provide sound, "big picture" advice in all types of cases. It is my pleasure to endorse Juanita."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've had the opportunity to consult with Juanita on a complicated, multi-defendant, federal khat importation case involving both criminal charges and forfeiture allegations. She got her client out of custody immediately, got his property returned, and got all charges dismissed. Juanita is insightful, tireless, and dauntless. I'm honored to know her; clients will be glad to have her on their side."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Juanita and I tried a murder case together several years ago, and she did a spectacular job. Her closing argument was truly impressive. The jury not only acquitted our client but also found that the State should pay the client's costs. Juanita is an excellent attorney and I recommend her without reservation."
