When a 911 call for a medical emergency unexpectedly turned into an assault DV charge, I was thrown into a panic. Thanks to Google I found AVVO, but was overwhelmed by all the choices and similar-sounding attorney profiles. I chose Denice because a friend's attorney (who doesn't handle DV cases) re...commended her and I could tell as soon as I met her that Denice knew her stuff. I'm so glad I went with her! My case was dismissed early on, which itself was a victory and relief, and Denice was very competent and hard working. She proactively contacted the prosecutor and went to bat for me even before the arraignment. She explained everything clearly and thoroughly and had strategy. You could tell she was very knowledgeable about the law and the judge and the system, and she was conscientious. She was also great about communicating with me and returning my texts--even when she was on vacation- and she was always on time. I felt so much more confident in Denice's care; it was comforting to know she was fighting for me. One other plus: I found that some of the lawyers listed on AVVO whom I called would not actually be the one handling my case-- some less experienced attorney in their firm would. With Denice, you get Denice. I'm really glad I chose her and highly recommend her.

"Denice is willing to get her hands dirty. She will leave no stone unturned -and then some!- in the legal and investigative research into your case. Denice is often educating the prosecutor on aspects of your case that they either have yet or haven't bothered to find. Denice's laser focus on your case is coupled with a deep compassion and understanding of life situations or events that bring her clients to her. With Denice you will have a tenacious, strong, compassionate advocate on your side through your case, and beyond!"

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"Mrs. Gagner is a compassionate and hardworking attorney who always strives to achieve the best results for her clients. When I worked for Mrs. Gagner as an intern-prosecutor, I witnessed her professional and courteous demeanor in the courtroom and her diligence in the workplace. Her extensive background as a prosecutor gives her a distinct advantage over the rest of the criminal defense bar in Seattle. Mrs. Gagner is the first attorney I recommend to anyone facing criminal charges in Washington, and, in fact, she has has helped numerous personal friends successfully resolve their legal issues in the greater Seattle area. If I was facing criminal charges in Washington, Mrs. Gagner is the first person I would call."

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.
