Thank you Paul!!!

I hired Paul and he got the job done. The incident happened in May of 2022 in Skagit County. It involved a blood sample. They strung me along for nearly 2 years and let me think nothing was going to happen only to charge me in March of 2024 right before the statute of limitations ran out. I thoug...ht the prosecutor would give me a pretty good deal due to the fact I had never been in trouble, hadn’t had a ticket in nearly 30 years, had to wait almost 2 years to be charged, and hadn’t been in any trouble since the incident. Instead they wanted 3 days in jail, a 90 day license suspension followed by a year of an ignition interlock, an SR22 requirement for two years, and a massive fine. When Paul got the information on the blood sample it took him about 30 seconds to find 3 errors they made making it inadmissible. I then told him they were going to have to come up with a pretty good offer or I was going to demand a jury trial. Paul got it down to a Neg.1 (simple misdemeanor), a Zoom Alcohol Class, a $675 fine, and 2 years of inactive probation (not including the 2+ years I had already gone without being in trouble). To anyone facing something like this don’t think they’re going to give you any credit for your previous good behavior or for the fact they made you wait so long to be charged. Hire Paul. He’ll fight for you. I am 100% convinced I wouldn’t have gotten the result I did with a different lawyer. There is a reason Paul has nothing but 5-star ratings on here. He’s the best. THANK YOU PAUL!!!

Attorney

I used Paul Grass as my Defense Attorney in my Domestic violence case. Paul is very knowledgeable and up front. I went through 3 different Attorneys with my divorce until I found one that wasn’t in just for the money. Paul cares about you as a person and he is not there just to make money off you. He...’s quick with getting your answers answered, he goes the extra mile. I’m completely satisfied with his service in my case and I definitely would recommend Paul to anyone. I hope I never need another Defense attorney but if I ever do I’ll be calling Paul first.

Above Standard Attorney. Military Experience

I hired Paul with the hope to get my charges reduced. I had never had any law involvement before and was completely confused on the process. Paul made this experience painless and walked me through it every step of the way. He is extremely knowledgeable and was very aggressive on my behalf. I am also... Active Duty so any form of legal involvement could have drastically impacted my career. Paul has complete knowledge of the Military Judicial system and works extremely hard to reduce a civil case in order to maintain good standing with the military. For any Sailors looking for representation Paul is well educated in the polices and procedures of the Navy as he is prior service. He also understands the UCMJ and can explain to detail what your civil case will translate to during Court Martial or Non Judicial Punishment. Paul didn’t get my charges reduced he got them dismissed completely. For this I am extremely great full. Paul is a fierce attorney and exceeds standards.

Professional lawyer, solid work ethic, who cares.

Paul Grass is knowledgeable in his field. He took my case very seriously, and he took my case with only a few days notice. He is professional, but friendly and makes you feel comfortable during an uncomfortable time. I would recommend him to anyone in a pinch in need of a solid lawyer who cares.
