Aggressive Representation for DUIs & Criminal Charges . Don’t settle for a less experienced lawyer!
My goal is to provide aggresive competent, compassionate and timely legal representation to you and your loved ones. I welcome the opportunity to talk with you and to discuss how I can be of service. I am a sole practitioner located in Bellingham, Washington. I have been practicing criminal defense almost exclusively for 17 years, with extensive experience with DUI/DWI cases and related criminal traffic and licensing issues as well as more serious criminal charges.

I have known Michael for nearly 10 years now, and have seen his work in several counties throughout Washington, on a variety of cases. Michael always brings a high degree of skill, knowledge, experience, and care to the table for all of his clients. I have no issue in having referred clients to Michael for any legal need, because I am confident they have received the highest degree of representation. In fact, I have received calls well after the case was over thanking me for such referrals.

I wholeheartedly endorse Michael. I've sought his advice on many occasions. Recently, he shared a legal brief on a pretrial motion I once argued in court. His legal analysis was spot-on, the cases were helpful, and I won the motion. Michael is there for his clients, and has a wonderful legal assistant at his side. He's a credit to the profession.
