An Incredibly Skilled, Personable Legal Talent
It's a challenge to describe in mere words what a phenomenal attorney Pete is. Throughout the entire time he handled my criminal case, which was a very serious, lengthy, and incredibly challenging one to achieve a positive outcome for, the fact that Pete unwaveringly demonstrated exceptional legal c...
Peter Mazzone's Lawyer Endorsements
"Pete is one of the most intelligent, creative and skilled criminal defense lawyers in the state. He is simply the best. If I or one my family members were ever charged with a serious crime, he would be the first person I would call. He has my highest recommendation."
"Pete is one of the brightest, creative, tenacious, and fearless advocates you will find. If I were in trouble, I would hire Pete. David Henderson"
"I endorse Peter. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Mazzone is a tireless advocate for his clients. He is a zealous and skilled trial lawyer that will not give up until he gets the result that he wants."
"Pete is one of the finest, most effective criminal defense lawyers in the state. I heartily endorse his work."
"I endorse this lawyer. Pete and I worked together as Public Defenders early in our careers. I always admired his tenacity and his natural instincts in his trial work. Pete has tried some of the toughest cases in Snohomish County, and he never flinches. Since he has focused more on defending clients in Federal Court, I always refer those clients to Pete, confident they will get the best defense possible."
"To call Mazzone a great attorney is an understatement, a simple Google search will show that. Mazzone is a true professional, a fighter, a staunch advocate for justice, and perfectionist. His colorful and diverse background enables him with an amazing ability to dig in and prepare for the bare knuckle brawl that is trial, while advocating with a degree of skill, precision, experience, and intelligence that is simply unmatched. Having worked with Mazzone for several years, I have seen Pete up against incalculable odds, and fighting until justice was achieved, despite what may have seemed unpopular, undesirable, or even at times, unbelievable. Like a pit bull, he latches on to what is right, and does not let go at any expense. Pete is also a mentor, an advisor, and an example to many in the legal community of what a trial lawyer is supposed to be."
"I have known Mr. Mazzone for several years. He is easily one of the most effective criminal defense attorneys around. I endorse his work."
"Pete is a brilliant bulldog--tenacious and effective."
"Peter Mazzone is simply one of the best lawyers in the state that you can hire to defend you on any major crime. I recently consulted Pete myself on a federal case I was handling. His advice was spot-on as always. I give Pete my highest recommendation."
"Pete is hands down one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the state. He has handled cases ranging from simple misdemeanors to death penalty matters. I have personally observed Pete in trial on many occasions and he is the epitome of a true defense attorney. He is smart, charismatic, aggressive and afraid of nothing. If you are facing a criminal offense and want the best defense available you can rest assured Pete will deliver."
