While my case was pending, the court made a mistake resulting in notice that my license would be suspended. Mr. Greene immediately had the error corrected. He represented me in court, and my case was dismissed. His web site has comprehensive information explaining the process of contesting a ticket, ...

Great Attorney - Highly Recommend
I was speeding on I5 on my way home from Olympia. I was so stressed when I saw the blue lights in my mirror because it was my first ever ticket. I called Mitch Greene and he told me to send in the ticket marked contested. After that, I didn't have to do anything. Mitch Greene was very professional an...

Speeding ticket
Infraction filled out with wrong info . Officers inability to properly enter correct info should be a winner for me. Infraction doesn’t get dropped/dismissed but they bargain down to a non moving violation which was a lie? I disagree with this. I will seek alternative angle on this. 325.00 for ticket...

Replied last March 12, 2019Dear Mr. Jones, I am sorry that you were dissatisfied with the outcome in your case. It was a 17 over the speed limit (42/25) in a City Court that has a prosecutor appear. That, plus your record and the fact that you have a CDL, make it difficult to risk fighting a case where the risk is that you would lose because the Court only needs to be convinced by 51% in traffic matters. The issues that you argue was "wrong info" and therefore the case should have been dismissed, was an alleged wrong date of your registration expiration, which has absolutely no bearing on whether you were speeding. Pursuant to IRLJ 3.1 (d) Sufficiency. No notice of infraction shall be deemed insufficient for failure to contain a definite statement of the essential facts constituting the specific infraction which the defendant is alleged to have committed, nor by reason of defects, imperfections, or omissions which do not tend to prejudice substantial rights of the defendant. This was not a winning argument. Pursuant to State v. Zhao, a plea agreement/amendment is acceptable for resolution of a case and the amended charge is not a lie. Even with all the above, I was able to secure you a potential dismissal of the charges with no fees, if you were willing to take a $28 driving course that can be completed in less than thirty minutes; however, you chose not to be willing to take the class for the dismissal, as you had done two years earlier. Even without you being willing to secure a dismissal, I was able to get the matter amended to a non-moving violation of failure to sign your registration and reduce the penalty from $207 down to $75 and no effect on your insurance. I did not get this amended to a no seatbelt, as many other attorneys would have as that would have effected your CDL. It is not about the money as you claim, it is about your record and keeping it clean over the principal of being right (that you weren't speeding) and it going on your record and having to pay increased insurance premiums for the next three years and risk your livelihood of driving.
Mitchell Reuben Greene's Lawyer Endorsements
Speeding and traffic ticket lawyer | Apr 27
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Mitch for 18 years. Mitch is quite possibly the best traffic-ticket defense attorney in the state of Washington. He is also a terrific person who always makes time to help his friends and fellow attorneys."
"There is certainly a theme in the client and other attorney recommendations recommending Mitch for a reason. I have known Mitch for 17 years and he has successfully and professionally handled every traffic matter for me and my family, as well as for all of the people that I have referred to him. His fees are not only reasonable, but minimal compared to saving your driving record and your time in defending your own ticket. Despite what a busy attorney Mitch is (due to his immense popularity!), he always makes time for his clients and most importantly, you always know your ticket is being handled, so he alleviates any stress that comes with resolving a ticket. You can always confidently feel that once Mitch is on your case, he will take care of it for you! Most importantly, Mitch is such a genuine and upstanding person that he is also highly respected by the prosecuting attorneys and the Courts, as well as by his peers (all of whom I imagine hire him as well). He is simply the best!"
"I endorse this lawyer for any traffic tickets in the State of Washington. His comments on this forum indicate high level of knowledge and understanding of Washington Vehicle and Traffic Law."

"Mitch is the "go to guy" for speeding tickets. I am a layer and he handles my tickets. The Judges respect him, the Court Staff likes him and other attorneys call him when they have speeding ticket related questions."
"I endorse and highly recommend this lawyer. I have known Mitch Greene for many years as a fellow attorney in the King and Pierce County courts. Mitch is a genius in the world of defending traffic infractions, whether speeding tickets or more serious accident infractions or Negligent Driving. I don't know how he does it but he always wins. I have seen him at work in the court's many times. It is quite amazing to watch him step up in court before a judge and prosecutor with a stack of what appears to be 20 infraction files and when finished, walk out of the court having gotten all of them dismissed. If you have an infraction, "gotta call" Mitch."
"Mitch has strong grasp of the dynamic traffic laws in the State, and he knows what works in each court. For that reason, I trust him with my own cases, and his clients do too."
