  3. Bankruptcy and debt
    10%
    Over the last 20 years, our bankruptcy lawyers have helped thousands of clients successfully file for bankruptcy in Washington State. The credit card companies and the bill collectors who do their dirty work want you to believe that filing for bankruptcy somehow equates to failure in life. This is absolutely ridiculous! The bankruptcy laws were specifically enacted to help good, honest, and hard working people who have simply fallen on hard times, often through no fault on their own.

    Few things in life are as traumatic and emotionally gut wrenching as having to go through a divorce. We begin every divorce and family law case by listening carefully to our clients so that we can work with them to develop a list of their top priorities and most important goals. Our divorce attorneys understand the tremendous and the far reaching impact that your divorce will have on you and your children. We will fight to protect you, your children, and your assets.

  5. Speeding and traffic ticket
    10%
    Since the mid 1990s, our traffic attorneys have successfully fought and challenged thousands of traffic infractions. Let's face it. Getting a speeding or traffic ticket pretty much always sucks. And, even one committed finding for a speeding ticket or other moving violation could dramatically affect your insurance rates. Fortunately, you don't have to just roll over and pay it. You have very important legal right and options. We will make the state prove their case against you.

Complete satisfaction!!
If you need a traffic lawyer then look no further!! Jason personally handled my son’s two BIG tickets. He got them both completely dismissed! He is worth every penny! I could not be happier. He saved me thousands of future insurance hikes and of course court fines for my son. So glad I went with Jason. Do not hesitate, he will not let you down.

Erin Lane
Received an aggressive expensive ticket that could impact my driving record and would have insurance implications. Simply put Erin had it dismissed without impacting my time. Fantastic result.

Criminal Defense- Theft Case
If ever you need a more thorough, knowledgeable and kind attorney Jason S. Newcombe is your guy! My daughter had a theft case in Washington. This case was quite a complex, scary situation as it was dealing with unfamiliar laws in an unfamiliar state. We lived in another state and had never visited Washington. I called several attorneys and Jason S. Newcombe was the only one to call me back in a timely manner. We were able to communicate via text and e-mail. Jason built trust with us, kept us in the loop, good or bad, every step of the way and JUSTICE prevailed. My daughter’s charges were all dropped! Working with Jason was a great experience and I would gladly hire Jason again. Thank You Jason:)

DUI Dismissed!
Got pulled over for a DUI in Thurston County. Reached out to Jason for a consultation. After speaking with him I was ready to hire. The case took longer due COVID. Jason was always upfront with me and was very supportive. Was told that I could plea down but that wasn't good enough for Jason. He let me know that he would do everything he could to get a better deal. On the day of my court appearance Jason called me up to let me know that the case was being dismissed. He was excited as I was. Would recommend to anybody that needed help. Thank you!

CDL Traffic Ticket
Excellent attorney! We hired Jason after my husband got a traffic ticket. Since my husband holds a CDL and was in a company vehicle there was some pretty stressful situations that his ticket caused for us with a possible outcome of losing his job and CDL. Jason and his team made the whole process stress free. They were amazing!. Jason was able to get the ticket a full Dismissal. Jason showed us that he cares about his clients and tried to make the process as easy as possible. I can’t express into words how much we appreciate Jason and his team for helping us with this!

Speeding ticket
I got a speeding ticket in the triple digits, Jason was very upfront with me saying it would be difficult, there were many ups and downs cause by outside parties that I believe the average attorney would have dropped me over, but Jason and his team stuck by my side the whole way through and even go the ticket dismissed when I was told I the chances were slim to none. Jason was amazing to talk to and emailed back very very quickly, even when I emailed almost at midnight. I will definitely recommend him and his team to anyone who needs legal help

SPEEDING TICKET DISMISSAL!
Jason and his firm is amazing, they’re able to dismiss the Speeding Ticket I got! They got the court to agree on their side because the other party couldn’t give enough evidence to support their side! Anyways, It’s worth putting your money and trust to Jason and his team, they try their very best into getting a successful dismissal on ANYTHING you need!

Ticket Dismissed!
I hired Jason and team to help with a speeding ticket and an expired tag and I'm happy to say they were able to get both of them dismissed completely. Jason and his team are easy to work with, very responsive and hiring them is going to be money well spent. Thank you Jason, Linda and Michelle!

Exactly the help I needed!
I was in a tough spot with a charge on my driving record I didn't get but two different states thought I did, from the fallout I lost my lincense and needed it back quickly for my job. I was running out of time like had days left to make it disappear and Jason worked super fast on my case, literally got it done in the knick of time, he didn't charge me extra either due to the dual state nature of my case. Im so happy I chose this guy, I highly recommend him not just for getting my charge dropped and lincense reinstated but for the speed he did it in. I got the job and I'm thrilled. If your thinking of investing in a lawyer it can be scary trust me i know, but had I known how good this guy was I wouldn't of been worried at all I definitely recommend him!
