Couldnt be happier. Would highley recommend.

I spoke with Dustin a few months after I was charged with Minor DUI and minor intoxication but I was never placed in jail. I thought I was off the hook but I doubled checked to make sure and sure enough I had court a week after I called Dustin. Long story short I already had 4 minor cases in a deferr...ed that would be dissmissed after 2 years from being intoxicated and possesing alcohol when I was 17. Age 19 I got charged with Dui and minor intoxication. Although I was not driving only sleeping in my car I still got charged. I felt like my whole life was over I did not know what to do. I was honestly very worried about the outcome. But thanks to Dustin who walked and talked me thru every process that was done he made sure I would have the best outcome. He was very responsive to emails and calls. Althought he would go to renton from everett he would be late to court but you cant blame him traffic is a mess. He helped me with the 6 charges I was facing from years ago and brought them down to 1 charge and the rest are dismissed thru deferred. thanks to his dedication he worked hard and the judge did not revoke my cases. We were all young and dumb and make decisions we dont think would have any consequences and that was me. I have been out of the courts for a long long time now I dont live the life I had before and Now my charges were dissmissed january. I am so greatful for Dustin. He really is the man. I dont plan on going back to my old ways but if I ever needed a lawyer I would totally ask for Dustins help again.

Highly Recommended: Knowledgeable, Professional and Personable.

We hired Dustin Keith to represent my Brother in his Minor DUI case.Dustin is very extremely Professional and Attentive.He is an expert in his field who is kind, patient, and 100% down to earth.From our initial consultation Dustin keith was very clear about all of the potential outcomes we were look...ing at and was very sincere in his approach.After our consultation We immediately felt a sense of relief knowing that we were in the best hands When it finally came the day for the judge to see my Brother’s case Dustin had planned out his defense impeccably and as a result He faced the minimum penalty and case was Dimissed!! We will will always be very appreciative of Dustin sincere concern and professional assistance during this difficult time. I would/will recommend Dustin to anyone I know who needs legal advice or consult!

Criminal case

Dog owners be aware! I was charged with a misdemeanor because my dog bit someone. Long and messy story that I care not to bore you with. The reason you are reading this review is to find comfort in knowing you have/will hire the right person for your case. Mr. Burk was punctual and dressed shar...p which to me says he takes pride in his craft. Additionally, from my perspective Mr. Burk demonstrated good strategy in getting my case dismissed. Based off of previous quotes, the fee to retain Mr. Burk was resinable. I recently received a traffic ticket that I’ll be calling on Mr. Burk for assistance with. Hopefully I won’t need an attorney for anything else, but if I do I’ll be reaching out to Mr. Burk.

Everett's best does it again.

Finally someone affordable, with heart in their work. When I hired Mr. Burk it I knew he was the highest reviewed, but I was shocked when I found out he was also the best priced defense in town and I searched extensively keeping notes and calling attorneys left and right before I went with Burk as my... choice. My only regret is that I did not call him first, (because it would have saved me hours of time meeting with just about every practice in snohomish county I was interviewing for the job as my defense). After hiring Burk immediately he got to work, what I loved most was the fact that Burk with Dustin&Hill felt like I didn't just hire one person, it seemed as though I hired an entire dedicated team of professionals all working together (working together like the borg in star trek, we are talking real teamwork to get the job done!) to get me the best outcome possible, when another attorney would fill in his shoes for court, (for coverage) it wasn't just an attorney going ""through the motions"" as a ""fill in"", instead I got someone who actually wanted to hear what I had to say. Bottom Line is when charges were filed against me by the City of Everett on behalf of a law breaking attempted murderer (Matt Dale Mclemore from RED ROCK SUBS in North Everett who is a proven menace to society, Burk and his team not only got my charge dismissed but also turned the tables and completely embarrassed the City Prosecutors for being dumb enough to not only ignore that a attempted murderer and proven hate crime offender (Mclemore) is the real attacker and that I was the actual victim of the attempt on my life. Now if only the City of Everett can replace their prosecutors with someone that knows what they're doing and who takes their job seriously enough to file real charges for victims of hate crimes and attempted murder instead of treating the law like a joke and charging the victims with a crime. I highly recommend Burk without hesitation for instant piece of mind and most importantly for the good feeling of Burk placing the weight of the world and all the problems that come with it on his legal shoulders.
