The best attorney

Kristina Selset was my representation, and I had the pleasure of working with her. She was very knowledgeable, professional, and calm. Our case outcome was very uncertain and could go either way, but she guided us smoothly and provide us lots of options to minimize the potential bad outcome. Due to h...er excellent representation, we are pleased that we did not get any bad outcome and are free of charge. I would like to recommend Kristina and the Marshall Defense Firm when it comes to life’s precious gems like your children or dealing with CPS. I can’t tell you how comfortable I felt during the whole process by knowing someone on my team that was knowledgeable and put my mind at ease. I really appreciate everything she has done for my family!

Extremely capable and easy to work with

Kristina is a top-notch attorney and won the most favorable possible outcome for us. My son is a college student going to a university in the Seattle area. He had a bad breakup with a girlfriend of 2 yrs who had a long history of mental illness. I won’t get into the details but the incident happen...ed 6 months into the relationship. In most people’s eye’s the incident would be understandable and normal. But the student code of conduct is unreasonably stringent so we took action to address it with Kristina. She gave us great counsel on how to handle the case. It wasn’t just the legal aspect but also the overall strategy and interfacing with bureaucrats in this delicate matter. She advocated for our position while maintaining a positive collaborative tone with the authorities in charge. Very thorough and explained things well while offering us various options and recommendations. She was pleasant to work with and was very articulate in having meaningful dialogue. We are grateful for her work nd give her high recommendations.

Top Notch Attorney and Person

Our son, who is in college in the greater Seattle area, was falsely accused of rape by a young woman and arrested. We found the Marshall Defense Firm online and contacted them the same day. They responded very quickly and helped get our son out on bail. From the very first phone call, we felt that th...ey truly cared about our son and our family. David Marshall and Kristina Selset provided excellent legal counsel, and their paralegal Tracey was also very helpful to us. Kristina was there for every hearing, helped us navigate the bail system as well as contact with detectives, reassured our frightened son and us, replied promptly to calls and emails, helped with an attempted eviction by our son's place of residence, and handled every situation with a calm demeanor. We live 2000 miles away, and this was a very stressful time for all of us. The Marshall Defense Firm helped get our son out from under the false indictment, as well as helped us to navigate this situation from a distance. We cannot recommend them highly enough.
