Since law school, I have specialized in representing individuals against overreaching governmental actions. I assist individuals incarcerated in the Washington Department of Corrections. I litigate Public Records Act cases against public entities while asserting the public's right to know what their government is doing. I also assist individuals to constitutionally challenge their conviction in post-conviction proceedings including filing writs of habeas corpus in federal court on their behalf. Let me help you.

I wish I'd had him as my defense attorney because his intelligence, kindness, and unwavering ethics would have caused me to prevail in my case rather than become incarc...
"Michael Kahrs is one of the few attorneys I turn to when I have a question about lawsuits involving the Department of Corrections.
