Highly Recommend Brent Thompson

Brent is very professional and efficient! He cleared my name for an old infraction and my 2nd amendment rights are fully restored! This man has integrity and I would hire him again if needed.

Great dedication

Mr. Thomson was awesome in not only restoring my fire arms rights, but with following through when the FBI didn't process my restoration. He was genuinely upset that my restoration had not been followed through with by the FBI and He pushed until I was able to buy a fire arm without issue. As soon a...s I was eligible he filed for my felony convictions to be expunged. Despite all the craziness with covid 19 he found a way to get my case resolved when though court was not in session. I knew he provided great legal help, but never expected the court to do this while closed! Mr. Thomson is worth every penny! He has genuine interest in representing his clients to the best of his ability!

Fast Results

Mr. Thompson was terrific! I hired WipeRecord to restore my firearms and it took them 11 months to do nothing. A friend referred me to Mr. Thompson and he went way above the call of duty. He obtained a certificate of discharge which I did not previously have, ordered to vacate my charge and an order ...to restore my firearm rights all at the same time for the same price I hired WipeRecord. The best thing about my case is that Mr. Thompson accomplished all of this in only 32 days while taking the time to educate me and communicate with me as he is processing all the orders. My friend and I are both amazed at how quickly Mr. Thompson was able to get all this resolved and I would recommend anybody seeking a lawyer for his area of expertise to hire him as he will work fast and hard for you while educating you all at the same time.

DUI reduced to Negligent

I was charged with DUI and had a BAC of .124. Brent was very careful with my case and found an issue. He negotiated extensively with the prosecutor. In the end, I was very happy. The case was resolved with a negligent driving and I got no jail. Brent also promised that he would make a motion to ...get the negligent driving removed from my record in the future when I become eligible.

Success without ever personally meeting!

I came across Brent in my search for an attorney who specialized in vacating a prior conviction. I reside in Eastern Washington, but the charge I was hoping to vacate was in King County, where I resided most my life. When I researched vacating my felony conviction in the past, I was always met with... conflicting information with no reference to primary source. Brent was extremely knowledgeable in referencing precedence in prior court cases and provided that glimmer of hope. As we went though the process him and his team kept in touch with me frequently. My case was mostly administrative, but these things require trust and confidence. Both of which I believe Brent has a great amount of. I had called several other law offices that wanted to gauge me in fees in what I realized was a very simplistic process, but you pay the lawyer for insurance! Just like your doctor and your accountant. In addition, Brent came across as always sympathetic, a person who provided a realistic hope with solid precedence to reinforce that hope. Things can always change in these cases depending on the judge, but I am very grateful Brent and his team assisted me in this long awaited closure in my life.

"I've known Mr. Thompson for many years. Few attorneys approach each case with his dedication and care. He is very knowledgeable and is great in the courtroom. If you are in trouble, give Brent a call!"

General practice lawyer | Sep 19

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Brent is the most competent, hard working, creative, and diligent lawyer I have ever met. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. He obsesses over every detail of every case, constantly trying to get the best possible result for every client. Funny thing is that, after all that commitment to his work, he does get the best results possible. Recently he sued the Federal Government on a gun rights case. I had my doubts that it was a good idea. The Feds can be, shall we say, difficult?. He not only devoted himself to the work, but he won what many would consider to be a virtually impossible case. And he got the judge to order the US Attorney's Office to pay for our client's legal fees in the process. Need I say more? Brent is a phenomenal lawyer and every one of his clients is in great hands."
