Donald Guthrie

After being arrested and charged with two felonies that I did not commit, my wife researched Seattle area criminal defense attorneys and then contacted Mckay-Chadwell on the recommendation of a friend. I feel very fortunate that we hired Mckay-Chadwell and that my fate was placed in the competent..., professional hands of attorney Donald (D. Jack) Guthrie. I needed someone to defend me and that's exactly what Donald Guthrie did, he defended me. From our very first meeting I was impressed with his professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail as I was in the midst of enduring the most difficult four months in my life. Donald Guthrie helped to guide me through this worst of times as smoothly as possible. He has a firm grasp on what the prosecutorial techniques and motivations entail and that's a crucial element in criminal defense. He was patient with the prosecutors when he needed to be and aggressive when the circumstances called for it. Additionally, Donald Guthrie didn't just tell me "how it was going to be", he honestly and respectfully listened to my thoughts and concerns. Thanks to Mckay-Chadwell and attorney Donald Guthrie's excellent legal defense my case ultimately resulted in a full dismissal of all charges against me. I would highly recommend Mckay-Chadwell and talented attorney Donald (D.Jack) Guthrie to anyone who is in need of a criminal defense attorney.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
