I feel privileged to help folks who lack the legal experience to help themselves. I am in my 24th year of practicing law.
Why hire me? I am very experienced, honest, have a proven track record of getting good results and not afraid of hard work.
Four incredible people have had an incredible positive impact. No man is a more humble and honest than my father (survived Husky football in mid 50's, received his doctorate and touched countless young people as a school Superintendent). From my mother, I learned perservance (working as an RN, never once complaining about the long hours). My brother was the hardest working athlete I ever saw (WSU baseball player) and he has carried this ethic into a very successful coaching/teaching career. My wife teaches me compassion and drive, I could not have a more caring, hard working wife and mother of my three children.
I have battle-scarred empathy. I too have struggled with issues life presents. I understand the stress losing a job; I know the challenge of financially surviving in this world; I have experienced family dramas; and I have felt the unclassey sting of small-town politics.
I have alot of heart and perserverence. Athletics at a young age instilled this in me. Although I was never the most talented athlete - I worked very hard to make it to the college level.
I have great legal experience. I worked as Prosecutor in 1998, have worked as a Public Defender and private practice for over 20 years. Also, I served well over a decade in the U.S. Army Reserves as a JAG officer, where I helped hundreds of soldiers which included six short overseas tours (including 3 to Korea).
In addition, I had the distinct honor of being an intern for Paul Luvera and John Murphy in the early 90's--I have never seen men so passionate in their search for justice and their unmatched work ethic. I was very lucky to office share with several wonderful men and attorneys -- Jim Anderson taught me the importance of a strong community presence; Brian Paxton showed how a fine sense of balance and work can be of benefit and John Ward taught me that being a country gentleman lawyer is a very worthwhile endeavor.
I am affordable and set my fees based on what you can afford.
If you desire more information about my law practice, give me a call at 360.755.0111.
--David Lowell

David has always provided the highest level of service to his clients and has always gone out of his way to assist and provide answers to any questions I may have on legal matters related to criminal law, family law, estate planning, and litigation. David is a fountain of knowledge and I am proud to say I served with him and I am grateful that he is available to discuss legal matters and issues when I need help with my cases. I strongly endorse this attorney and would recommend him to any client.
