Highly recommended

David and his team are highly professional, compassionate and qualified. After interviewing several attorneys, it was clear that he was the right choice for us. His calm demeanor and understanding was helpful during the difficult times. He delivered favorable outcome on a shorter timeframe than exp...ected. We recommend David without hesitation.

It was a great pleasure to get the right result for these people and even better to get it rather quickly. In their professional lives, they do important work for all of us. Now they can focus on that without the burden of a false allegation.

Understanding and helpful

Mr. Marshall was excellent. We wouldn't have known either the best strategies or the mechanics of executing them without Mr. Marshall in our corner. He was promptly responsive and clear. He navigated us through each successive step, and while we were fortunate that we had fewer steps than could ha...ve been the case, I was able to wait patiently through the process because I knew we had an advocate working for us.

A.K. was a delight to serve--patient, thoughtful, and appreciative. I wish them well as they move beyond this harrowing experience.

David Marshall gets the job done and well! Expertise!

David Marshall has all the experience one would want in a lawyer dealing with matters of these sensitive natures. He knows the law very well.. his dedication combines with his knowledge of the right pathways to take in your defense, which brings forth an outcome of a desired result in your favor. His... office staff and him are quite communicative and never leave you hanging or any questions unanswered. He is a compassionate defense attorney providing world-class service to those in need of it. He has fought for and achieved the most ideal outcome imaginable for my family and I cannot recommend David M. enough or say enough positive things about the experiences dealing with the Marshall law firm in Seattle. You get what you pay for.. and you don’t want to cut corners when your freedom and reputation is on the line. Hire David. You won’t regret it.

This Marshall Defense Firm client had a misfortune many of our clients have had: his infant suffered injuries that child abuse doctors wrongly concluded had to have been caused by child abuse, and he was taking care of the child when the injuries happened. Thus he came into the cross-hairs of the state. It was a privilege to fight for him and for the other parents we've represented in similar nightmares.

Genuine Concern for Justice

During the remaining hours of Christmas 2020, I believe there is no better time than the present to write a reference for the most dignified and intelligent attorney in Washington State. David Marshall and his team are an exceptionally skilled, as well as an extraordinarily meticulous and effective d...efense group. Mr. Marshall provided detailed explanations to my questions and communicated consistently and timely. As part of his extensive depositions, Mr. Marshall was able to uncover multiple lies, RCW and WAC violations, and reveal repeated failures of Skagit County DCYF caseworkers. He was even able to obtain caseworker personnel files showing repeated incidences of egregious conduct by, and disciplinary actions taken against, these same caseworkers. In an ingenious approach, he prepared a Motion for Summary Judgment. At the corresponding hearing, DCYF refused to even speak and state its position, which not only shocked the Administrative Law Judge, but resulted in a favorable written order for me within three hours. The judge determined DCYF had no legal justification for its decision and required a reversal. Mr. Marshall also advised several other attorneys who were handling related cases in Skagit County Superior Court. All of these attorneys took the advice of Mr. Marshall and his legal research team, resulting in unanimously favorable decisions for my child and me. This ordeal began in April 2018, when I called the Mount Vernon Police Department desperate for assistance after my Haitian citizen stepdaughter told me her father was sexually abusing her when I would leave the home. Instead of providing assistance or even investigating my now ex-husband, DCYF decided to relentlessly go after me – the non-offending parent – and act clearly against the best interest of the child and recommendations of the guardian ad litem and child’s court appointed attorney, putting the child’s immigration status in America at-risk. However, thanks to Mr. Marshall and his team, I became one of Washington’s first legal de facto parents under the latest Uniform Parentage Act, RCW 26.26A.440. I now have sole custody of my child and am unfounded from DCYF’s attempt to find me for neglect. Thank you so very much Mr. Marshall for your conscientiousness, focus on details, perseverance, and genuine concern for justice.

This Marshall Defense Firm client is herself a most extraordinary woman--intelligent, articulate, and highly accomplished in international affairs. Perhaps her most impressive traits are her profound commitment to serving the underprivileged and her nearly limitless energy. I think we made a good team.

Mr. Marshall and the staff were very professional in keeping to the facts. Even with given negative feedback from the plaintiff, Mr. Marshall maintain "hope". Never letting negative comments to affect a fair legalistic decision. I felt very little anxiety while the case was going on. Dave always pres...ented both sides of a view, discussed it with me and then offered his opinion, yet allowing myself to make a fair decisive decision based on facts. I strongly encourage others that are they fear a bad "outcome" to contact Dave. An honest person that will fight for your rights.
