Hero without a Cape

Laura is outstanding. Laura is spectacular in the work that she does. She thoroughly cares for all of her clients and fights every battle that needs to be fought. Laura pays attention to details that almost all other attorneys look over. I have witnessed with my own eyes and ears how Laura can pick a...part a prosecutor's arguments, discrediting them and even humiliating them. Laura and Emily have the most amazing capabilities, and are not afraid to fight for you. Emily and Laura practice much more than legal academics. They are creative and adaptable to any kind of legal situation; they are unstoppable, a legal powerhouse. Laura and Emily are both so special to me, and their sacrifice and service is unforgettable to me, and will be unforgettable for you. No matter the circumstance, Laura and Emily prevail and outperform any attorney in the state, and in my opinion the world.

Best of the best super lawyers!

Emily Gause and Laura Robinett are the best of the best super lawyers in Washington State. I was falsely accused of something I did not do. Before the accusations, I was at the top of my career with great reputation. I was successful through hard work, innovation, and being kind & generous. Unfortuna...tely, I had the misfortune of teaching an immature ethically questionable student clinician who I caught lying, broke rules, and was late for work multiple times. When I counseled this struggling intern, she broke down, cried, and gained my sympathy. Over time, she called me her mentor and acted as though she could improve professionally and ethically. I was wrong. At the end of her training, to benefit her and her future patients, in her grading form, I wrote an honest feedback that she needed to improve professionally and ethically. She got murderously angry, but I didn’t know that she would retaliate the very next day with false accusations. She even lied to law enforcement officers. My boss told me to go with the special agents and answer their questions. *If law enforcement special agents want to ask you questions and accuse you of something that you did not do. Stop the interview. Tell them you want to invoke your 5th US Constitutional Rights. Then, call an attorney stat - Call Emily or Laura ASAP. If you don’t, you will be in a legal nightmare.* Most people believe law enforcement officers are helpful and are unbiased neutral enforcers of the law, and from my experience, this is true. However, when it comes to special agents who are trained as interviewers/interrogators, it seems, these officers will do what it takes, getting you tired, stressed out, shocking you, taking things out of context, using indirect threats, implied promises, hypothetical questions, repeatedly asking the same questions, denying your answers, cutting you off from answering, putting words that they want you to say right after asking a question, tricking you to wrongly remember, tricking you to miss speak, to get you the suspect to “go along” with their line of questioning, and much more. Then, they will write a one-sided mentally biasing report that contain only the pieces of the whole story in order to get you prosecuted. When the human brain is in a mental shock or stressed, it cannot process information correctly. The Special Agents are trained to trigger the stress hormone in your brain. The longer you talk with them, the more likely the stress hormones will make you wrongly remember. Eventually, you will miss speak. This is self-incrimination. Fact is, the law enforcement special agents have qualified immunity when they are interviewing suspects. This means, they can legally lie to you without problems. In my case, the interrogators used all their interrogation tactics with the guise of a neutral interview. In hindsight, I realize now, the special agents didn't care about the actual facts. They just wanted to get me to wrongly remember and miss speak in order to take things out of context to get me prosecuted. It is their job. They are good at their job. Please note: the special agents had evidence the accuser had lied to them. But, the special agents never mentioned this fact in their investigation report. Why wouldn’t they? Remember, their job is to get subjects prosecuted. Investigators will publicly say they are supposed to be unbiased and neutral. But, from my experience, this isn’t true. In the beginning of my case, I had incompetent prior lawyers. Only after Emily Gause and Laura Robinett took my case and pointed out to the prosecutor the non-credible evidence of the accuser and the mischaracterization of the special agent’s report, did the prosecutor offered me a guaranteed way, an SOC, to get my charge dismissed with prejudice. Emily and Laura explained all my legal options and risks, and I am grateful. I most highly recommend both Emily Gause and Laura Robinett above all other defense lawyers in Washington State.

JUST GO WITH LAURA!!!

I am soooo glad Ms. Robinett represented me in court! If you're looking for someone to defend you, look no further! From the beginning to the end, Laura was sincere and so down-to-earth friendly, listened very attentively, responded quickly, went the extra mile to explain things, kept me well-infor...med, fought for me with zeal--and WON! Never once did I get the feeling that she didn't know enough to succeed. Never once did I wonder whether she was being dishonest or pretending to be something she wasn't. Never once did she make me feel like what I was saying didn't matter to her. I didn't just FEEL like she cared--I KNEW IT. Thank you, Laura--from the bottom of my heart--for all of your diligent labor and research! Thank you for listening! Thank you for your passion for justice! And thank you--not just for being an outstanding criminal defense attorney--but a wonderful and caring human being as well.
