Not All Heroes Wear Capes - Brent is the Lawyer You Want in Your Corner

When I faced an assault DV4 charge, with a prosecutor demanding a guilty plea, the situation seemed dire. The evidence was heavily against me. Despite these challenges, Brent Thompson guided me with patience and expertise, achieving a resolution through a stipulated order of continuance (SOC). His de...ep knowledge of the legal system and his commitment to personal appearances at every hearing during the pandemic were incredibly reassuring. Brent also recommended an alcohol assessment and treatment program, which has been invaluable. It’s truly helped me become the better person I am today. Watching myself grow and learn from this experience has been profoundly impactful. Brent, thanks for being like my father, a rock-solid guide when I needed it most. I’m deeply grateful for how you handled my case when I felt cornered and afraid. If you are in serious trouble, I highly recommend Brent. He offers more than just legal protection; he provides a pathway to betterment. Absolutely worth it.

Great attorney

I had a false harassment protection order filed against me by squatters living on my property that would not leave I contacted Brent Thompson and explain the situation he told me what his retainer was which was very fair considering the scope of what I was facing. He immediately went to work putting ...together a badass response to the allegations he was very knowledgeable about the law as far as what was legal what was not legal what the judges could and couldn't do under the law. I was extremely stressed out about the whole situation I didn't know what to do I had never been taken to the court before over anything like this and from the first day I talked with Brent I was immediately put at ease I felt confident and I felt reassured that Justice would prevail with him on my side when it came down for the actual hearing everything that he had put together obtained a clear victory for us I would recommend him to anybody he's punctual he's knowledgeable he's very good at keeping in contact and he's all around a good guy I think.

100% recommend

Mr. Thompson represented me in a DUI charge, he was very professional and extremely helpful. Even after my hearing he still assisted me and called to make sure I made all state requirements, I whole heartedly recommend his services to anyone charged for DUI.

Highly Recommend-!!

Brent Thompson provided me strong and skillful legal representation that exceeded my expectations. After interviewing several attorneys by phone, selecting Brent Thompson to represent me in an effort to vacate an old criminal conviction was an obvious decision. I felt that Brent asked me all of t...he right questions to give him a solid understanding of my legal situation, and he then explained in very plain language where I stood legally with regard to current law and precedents before laying out his legal strategy and setting realistic expectations regarding time, expense and results. I found Brent to be a high level communicator, especially considering that he was working on my behalf during COVID when there have been long delays in the court systems. At no time did I feel that I was in the dark about the status of my case. Leaning on Washington State precedent, Brent prepared a case that was concise, strategic and powerful; and ultimately led to a successful outcome. I highly recommend Brent Thompson for anyone in Washington State who is searching for an attorney who is extremely skilled, highly communicative, and most important - a fighter for his client.

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."
