Outstanding consultation. He addressed all of my questions thoroughly. He helped me to prioritize the most important aspects of the situation and let go of worry about what wasn't a concern from a legal perspective. Josh was also kind and sensitive to the stress involved with the issue. Highly recomm...
Michael, I'm so glad you found our conversation helpful. Thanks for your kind words and best wishes- Josh

I cannot recommend Joshua and his firm highly enough. Josh helped me navigate a very difficult and emotionally exhausting legal situation that, at one point, felt like it could be career-ending. The stress was overwhelming, but Josh remained calm, clear, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the e...

I could not have been more fortunate than to have retained Joshua. He is highly experienced in the legal profession, takes the time to keep you informed, and deeply understands the importance of providing emotional support to his clients during what is often one of the most difficult times in their l...

I had a very serious accusation dropped on me suddenly, so I googled criminal defense lawyers. I spoke with several lawyers before speaking with Joshua Saunders, he quickly responded to my request and I was struck right away with his calm yet professional demeanor despite the fact that I was serious...

I reached out to Joshua for consultation about a complicated personal situation. Joshua provided excellent support, coaching me through the legal issues and next steps. I had a very satisfactory outcome and would highly recommend Joshua to others seeking defense counsel.
Thanks for the nice review, Stephen. I'm glad I was able to help.
"Joshua and I have worked together on several complicated felony sex cases. I am consistently impressed by the passion and attention to detail he brings to each case. Joshua has a calm demeanor and measured approach to achieving great outcomes for his clients. He is highly respected throughout the legal community by fellow criminal defense attorneys, prosecutors, and judges. Any client looking for a compassionate, diligent, smart lawyer would be well-served by hiring Joshua. I confidently give him my highest endorsement."
"Josh and I co-counseled an arson trial in federal court last fall. It was a massive case, involving dozens of witnesses, hundreds of exhibits, and a battle of the experts. Josh was fast on his feet, aggressive in his advocacy, compassionate with our client, and unflappable during the ups and downs of a several week trial. He inspired me to raise my own game watching the quality of his work. I endorse Josh without reservation."
"Josh and I have worked together on difficult matters. He is a smart and effective attorney, and he is on my short list of criminal attorneys to whom I refer my own clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"Josh is an outstanding attorney. He is dedicated, thoughtful, experienced, a strong communicator and an exceptional trial lawyer. He is highly respected within the legal community and consistently obtains favorable results for his clients."
"Josh and I worked together for several years. During that time he showed me that he cared about our clients and their well being."
"Josh is a truly great defense attorney. I learned so much from watching him in court in Snohomish County. He does not give up, even in the face of some ridiculous rulings from Judges. He drove the prosecutors nuts."
"I would definitely endorse Mr. Saunders. There is no case case in which Mr. Saunders does not advocate for the rights of his client. You would be extremely lucky if you had him as your attorney."
