My goal is to provide aggressive, effective defense for my clients. Facing a criminal allegation can be a very stressful experience, and I work hard to achieve great results and communicate effectively with my clients.
I help good people in bad situations. Let me help you. I am a phone call or text away at 360.474.7872. You can also reach me via email at [email protected] As always, all conversations are confidential.
Since graduating at the top of my law school class half a year early, I have focused on defending clients charged with criminal offenses throughout Western Washington. I opened my office in Marysville, Washington with no clients, and quickly became one of the most successful attorneys in Snohomish County through hard work, strong legal analysis, and unusually good results.
Unlike some defense attorneys in this area, I have never been, nor sought to be, a prosecutor. My allegiance has always been to the defense of individuals who are being prosecuted by the government. I will not go easy on the prosecution, or sell you out to make a quick deal with former colleagues. I will fight for you, and you alone.
I routinely go to conferences and seminars to keep abreast on the new trends and tactics being used throughout the country. My results, courtroom presence and dedication to my clients has resulted in prosecutors and judges referring people they care about to me for help.
When I am not working, my hobbies include fishing, boating, playing golf and spending time with my family.

I endorse this lawyer. Brian is a "rising star" in Snohomish County. A legacy of his father Bud Ashbach, it is clear Brian has inherited a great deal of his Dad's legal accumen and personal charisma. More importantly, Brian is a lawyer who is obviously comfortable in court, and he's not ever intimidated by the prosecutors and judges we face every day. Brian's well-versed in the law, which earns respect every day from our colleagues, prosecutors, and most importantly, judges. I have no doubt Brian's practice and reputation will continue to grow, and I look forward to watching him join the elite Criminal defense attorneys in Snohomish County. It is rare to see the combination of tenacity and diplomacy that gets great results for his clients. Brian is truly talented and hard working. He treats his clients with care and respect, and they get excellent representation as a result.

I endorse this lawyer. Brian, like his dad "Bud", is a fighter for justice. No case is too big or too small for the Ashbachs when seeking justice for ordinary people. They are not intimidated by big insurance companys or by prosecutors. They have the respect of the courts and the respect of their peers. Their modest fees are a bargain given the fantastic results they get for their clients.
