Top-notch!

I wholeheartedly recommend R. Flennaugh! He came HIGHLY recommended by a couple of close friends. Even other attorneys spoke well of him. I watched courtrooms in 2 different municipalities show RF so much respect by him simply walking in the room. He's your guy! I interviewed several other attorneys... to represent my family member and decided on Robert. From our initial conversation he made me feel confident in his knowledge of the law. He was relatable and personable. He was honest, straightforward about possible outcomes and was GREAT at communicating. His fees were comparable to other reputable defense attorneys.  My family member was exonerated because of Robert's relentless hard work. He stayed on the procesecuting attorney's office for any/all discovery, requiring them to review evidence, body camera, dashboard footage that the prosecutor didn't even bother to consider reviewing before bringing charges. Robert was so skillful in pointing out the deception and false reporting by 2 different law enforcement agencies. All this without having to go to trial.  He was always a good stuart of our money, checking in with us and letting us know prior to spending against the retainer.  It's refreshing to see someone genuinely on their clients side, looking out for their absolute best interests and invested in their continue success even after the case was dismissed. He's a Rockstar!

Outstanding Representation

My son is a college student who was recently served with a Petition for an Order for Protection - Harassment (PTORAH). The petitioner made multiple false allegations and was granted a Temporary Protection Order. Mr. Flennaugh was a phenomenal advocate, providing steady advice and helpful explanation...s of this confusing process. As our family has no previous history of litigation experience, we relied entirely on his wise guidance in preparing my son's defense. Mr. Flennaugh represented my son in court and the case was dismissed. I cannot speak more highly of this individual - professional, experienced, thorough, and sagacious.

Highly Recommend

We hired Robert Flennaugh to represent a family member in Federal court on drug trafficking charges. Initially we met with a higher profile lawyer who required a $100K set fee. The other lawyer postured, saying “trust me” and reminding me of his famous thug clients while not explaining possible s...trategies and options. We started our search again. A friend in local government talked to bar leadership and the public prosecutor’s office and Robert Flennaugh was highly recommended by his peers. At our first meeting we were impressed with his clear communication style and walked away with an overview of the entire process and confidence in his representation. When we discussed the option of public defenders he told us the pros and cons of that route and was not dismissive of their work. We were able to hire him at an hourly rate and the total bill was close to his estimate. Robert was a clear communicator, accessible, effective and a pleasure to work with in a horrible situation. He explored creative strategies to get the charges dismissed. While the case was not dismissed, the outcome was better than we could have hoped.

Best Lawyer I have ever hired

Robert is the man! hands down the best lawyer I have ever hired, not just because of the results also his interaction with his client & it isn't all about time and money. One word that explains my case.....DISMISSED

Best lawyer in the area

I am a law-abiding individual licensed to carry firearms in the state of Washington. Having been around firearms my whole life, I found myself in the very unfortunate situation where I had to use my firearm to defend myself against several drunken thugs who accosted me at Marina Park in Kirkland, WA.... When the police arrived, one man who accosted me ran and the other was arrested. However, the police also arrested me and charged me with display of a weapon (9.41.270). This happened in spite of the fact that the legislation subsection (c) of that legislation indicates that I may use my firearm to defend myself. I hired one attorney who was horrible at communicating and did not act quickly as I had asked her to do. I was hoping to get the case dismissed based on clear video evidence before we even went to pre-trial. She couldn't even get in touch with the prosecutor. My life was quickly falling apart and I was facing serious consequences. After a friend recommended that I check out Mr. Flennaugh, I contacted him reluctantly. He set me at ease and I agreed to swap my attorneys. Mr. Flennaugh made his first call to the prosecutor immediately after I hired him. The prosecutor took my initial slowness to act (with the previous attorney) and my attorney swap as a weakness in my defense. The prosecutor offered that I give up my firearm and my concealed carry license and plead guilty. In return I would get no jail time. I declined and Mr. Flennaugh went to work. Two court dates later (one to request a continuance while the prosecutor reviewed our evidence, and the second to enter our settlement with the judge) my case was dismissed with prejudice and my firearm was returned to me. My previous attorney gave me no confidence and may have actually prolonged my case. Mr. Flennaugh put a stop to the prosecution and let me get back to my life. If you are looking for justice, picking the right attorney is key. Chose the wrong attorney as I initially did and you could end up in jail. Choose the right attorney and it will make all the difference in the world.
