DUI Case

Liz Mathews was actually referred to me by a friend. YES, I would absolutely recommended her as THE lawyer to retain. Her extreme professionalism, promptness, and remarkable level of sensitivity, while remaining in touch with the reality and legality of the situation is quiet impressive. She never ...sold me a fairy tale ending, always stayed on top of things, and always was available for consults. Additionally, I must note that she did all of this remotely, via email, phone, and fax. She's is really great at what she does and I highly recommend her work.

Elizabeth Drahold Mathews's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Elizabeth

Tomackie Kim

DUI and DWI lawyer | Mar 22

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Liz is one of the smartest, hardest working and most resourceful attorneys working in the field. I have recommended her legal services to multiple people and they have always thanked me later for the recommendation. When a person is charged with a DUI or criminal offense, it is a very confusing and stressful time. It is challenging for someone unfamiliar with the court system to know what criteria to use when hiring an attorney. It is often assumed the most expensive and high profile attorneys will achieve the best outcomes for their clients. This simply is NOT true. It is the strong advocates, such as Liz that are in the courtroom every day making the creative and cutting edge legal arguments that truly achieve the best outcomes for their clients. Liz has immense knowledge of criminal and DUI defense and is highly respected by both prosecutors and judges alike. Liz is a tireless advocate for her clients and there is no better GUI/Defense attorney!"

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Elizabeth is a tenacious advocate for her clients. Over the years, I have often relied on her input and guidance on my own cases, especially in the Seattle Municipal Court, where she was a former prosecutor. Recently, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Elizabeth on several cases involving criminal allegations relating to ownership of dangerous dogs. In each case she demonstrated mastery of the law on the subject, and compassion for the animals and their owners. I endorse Liz' work."
