So grateful for the team at Horwath Law

In November 2017, I was facing a DUI charge. I had absolutely no idea how to go about choosing an attorney – I just knew I needed one right away. There were so many ads to choose from on the internet – it was overwhelming. I decided to reach out to Horwath Law Offices and a couple other places to get... information about what I should do next. I was emotionally distraught and Angela Horwath got back to me immediately. When I spoke with her, I was so reassured by her calm and caring manner. In fact, her whole team was kind and treated me with respect. My situation was ugly because I had an alcohol-related infraction on my driving record from 25 years ago. Those things never go away. I was so worried that I was going to go to jail, lose my license for at least a year, and lose my job. Angela came up with a plan immediately and the team at Horwath started working on my case that day. They supported me through the entire court and DOL process. It took more than six months. Her team was responsive to my many phone calls and emails. I had a million questions, and Angela and her associates took the time to explain what was going to happen next, over and over again. They were reassuring yet honest. In the end, we had a really good outcome for what was a really bad situation. The charges were reduced significantly, which was a good thing since, depending on the way the court looked at the case, it could have been treated as a second DUI. I didn’t lose my license and I didn’t go to jail. Now I can move on with my life and make better decisions going forward. I am so grateful to Angela. I whole-heartedly recommend you talk to Angela and her team if you are in DUI-related situation.

DUI reduced to Neglegent

Angela and Kelsey are both compassionate and very knowledgeable attorneys. Negotiations were held outside the courtroom so there was no public theatrics in front of the judge. This is my first time hiring an attorney so I didn't know where to go. The DUI charge was reduced, unfortunately the DOL hea...ring did not go well as we had hoped. Angela's great rapport with the court officials and prosecutors was evident and I'm sure valuable in the case. Her fees were fair.

Truly the Dream Team!

Angela and her staff are simply amazing! I initially called Horwath Law on a Sunday morning; fully expecting to leave a message with a recording service. Unbeknownst to me Angela answered my call and for the next thirty (30) minutes listened to my story and plea for help. I had never been ...charged with a crime before; in fact I had never received so much as a parking ticket, and now I was facing the prospect of a DUI. Angela explained my options and calmed my fears. Throughout the process, she and her staff (Alycia is an absolute rockstar) kept me informed and answered any question that I presented them with. On the day of my court hearing Angela herself showed up, spoke with the prosecuting attorney, and before I knew it not only had my charge been reduced, but most importantly the nightmare was finally over. I say this in absolute truth, fully understanding that whomever is reading this may find my words to be unbelievable or outlandish; however, after sitting in a courtroom and witnessing for hours how other lawyers led their clients to the court with little preparation; only to receive harsh and exacting punishments, I feel qualified to make the following remarks. Wonder Woman, Clara Barton, Joan of Arc, Hero...whatever moniker you would like to use; Angela is a true lifesaver! My adulthood has taken me to Iraq several times, yet my fear and angst was never tested in the same manner as it was sitting in a courtroom in Washington. Angela's guidance, ability to listen, and genuine desire to help are what makes her unique. At no time did I ever feel judged by anyone in her firm, the moment she entered the court I felt an overwhelming peace wash over the room and immediately there was no judgement there either. Though I never met Angela or her staff before this event, each time I interacted with them resembled the manner in which you might speak with a close friend. Her candor is unparalleled and what she said would happen, did in fact occur. Her professionalism and busy savvy are compelling; allowing you to see how passionate she is about her craft, yet her heart is full, allowing you to see how much she cares! If you are reading this, presumably you are looking for an attorney yourself. If you are like me you will question the legitimacy of these reviews, and wonder if Horwath Law is as good as this lengthy write up says it is? I would submit to you that you are most likely hours or days removed from whatever event that led you to this site. You are reading this review searching for circumstances that are similar to your own so that you might figure out how your situation may end. You are researching each legal website, looking for that glimmer of hope to give you a momentary peace, that everything will be alright. What you aren't doing though is acting; taking that initial step toward the beginning of the end. I know in my heart had I allowed another attorney to represent me I would not have realized the outcome I did. I would have been one of those poor souls that was led to the courtroom by an attorney that was invested in their clients money, versus their client. If, after reading this, you still are not convinced, pick up the phone and talk to Angela and her team. Tell her your story and witness for yourself how deeply she cares. Allow Horwath Law to represent you and put your life back together. I truly hope this helps you. I wish you the very best! Good luck and godspeed!

The best!!!

First and last DUI charge. I read really great reviews about Angela and her team so I consulted them right away. I first spoke with Alycia, who is fantastic. She is patient, organized, and she was always updating me on any progress of the case. I spoke to Angela right after and she was so kind and e...mpathetic. I did not feel judged, and I could tell she was knowledgeable about the law, especially with these types of cases. During this process I had a chance to work with Amanda as well, who was very professional and reassuring. She definitely got me through my nerves during the arraignment unscathed. Angela was with me for my court hearing and she was absolutely incredible! She kept going back to talk to the prosecutor, and finally, got my sentence amended to negligent driving in the first degree. Wow. She is quite a force, obviously an intelligent and respectable force, to be reckoned with in the WA court system. I somehow got out of any vehicle license suspension too. She's magic. Angela and her team are well known, and believe me, you want them. I had a few chances during this time to see other people's attorneys and no one was more professional and more of an advocate for their client than I felt than Angela and team. No bias. What's more is that this team treats you like a person instead of a case. They are always available. They told me to let them do all the worrying, and I really felt that they did a lot of magic behind the scenes. Overall, it was a smooth process and they helped move the case forward quickly. The fee is also pretty reasonable because they do so much to help your case as well as your sanity (extremely grateful for that). Go Angela Horwath and team! Thank you so so much

Extremely competent and capable to handle a wide range of criminal issues

Angela represented me in a case about five years. I thought that the outcome would be bleak. I was absolutely terrified because this was my first time facing criminal charges. As we went through the process she constantly assured me that things would be okay. Angela has this way of comforting her cli...ents to the point the client no longer has that dooms day feeling. My case was settled at the lowest Misdemeanor level. I had to take a 4 hour course and that was essentially the end of my case. This year in Janaury, I made a very stupid mistake to allow myself to get goaded into a physical altercation. I had and have always claim that I was defending myself. The incident happened on federal property and I was the only one arrested because I was bigger than the other guy and got the best of him. The police officer even sided with the other guy and his girlfriend in his police report. This time I was sure I would be convicted because I had no witnesses. I consistently communicated with Angela and her staff. They were always accommodating and upbeat. This was the most trouble I had ever gotten into and it stressed me to the point that I had a heart attack. Angela once again told me that everything would be fine. Because of the fight I lost my job. The girlfriend of the guy that I got into the fight with filed a Anti Harrassment Order against me. Angela told me that she would take the case for me, and even allowed me to make monthly installments. About five days before we were suppose to go to trail for the assault charge, Angela called me and told me that the judge had dismissed the case. Needless to say that was one of the happiest days of my life. Later we go to court for the Anti Harassment Order. I very excited and looking forward to the proceeding. Angela is without a doubt one of the best lawyers available. She cares deeply for her clients, and works even harder for them. If I, or anyone else that I know ever needs an excellent Defense Lawyer I will not hesitate to recommend them to Angela. I simply cannot say enough great things about her, so I'll just end by saying thank you Angela. You are the best and you have a client for life should the need ever arise again. H
