Carrie Fulton Brown, is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Western Washington. Her skill set is unprecedented when it comes to trial advocacy. Trial preparation and discovery are important, but those things can be taught. One major component to a lawyer that is not teachable is the aptitude and expertise that transpires during a court hearing or trial. Ms. Fulton-Brown’s natural instincts are addicting to watch during trial – juries pay attention, trust what she is saying, and she thrives under pressure.

Ms. Fulton-Brown takes full advantage of the law and tactfully applies it to her defense practices. She has secured acquittals at trial and not guilty verdicts for her clients. She has nearly a decade of obtaining amazing results for her clients.

“Criminal charges are high-stakes and emotional. Allegations have a devastating impact on the accused if not handled correctly.” says Ms. Fulton-Brown. She believes every client should have a complete understanding of their rights and makes it her responsibility to provide all her clients with a road map to getting their life back.

Educational and Personal Background
After obtaining her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington, Ms. Fulton-Brown earned her Masters’ degree in Public Administration in 2007.

Life Saver
Carrie is LITERALLY a life saver. I can not begin to explain how knowledgeable, kind, and hardworking she is. I hired her to represent me where she tirelessly worked for 21 months battling to see to it that I did not end up spending life in prison for crime I did not commit. She is attentive, personable, aggressive, and did everything in her power to secure a NOT GUILTY verdict at trial. She is a true gem, who remained diligent, available, and down to earth. I would recommend her to anyone seeking legal services.

Agressive Lawyer
I was provided access to one of Benjamin & Healy’s best attorneys. Carrie is an extremely knowledgeable individual that knew my legal issue and was able to provide me a detailed explanation of the process I would experience. She has more than ten years of successful work that shows through the positive outcomes of her clients. I was no exception. Her work and negotiation with the Court resulted in a better outcome than I could have expected and I felt the negotiated elements were fair and reasonable. Carrie is a very good communicator who has exceptional experience in providing client advice resulting in favorable judgements. I couldn’t be more pleased working with this attorney and will consult her for all my future legal needs.

Mrs
Our family reviewed credencials online and selected this firm to represent us. Carrie was chosen for Faletoi's case. It was easy to work with her though English is our second language and our very first court case not sure where, who, what, and when is our next move in the court room. Carrie was very helpful, and explain everything in details for us to understand...What an experience for us...but we walk it thru with our Counselor Carrie from the very first day. She is great to work with, and we are very glad to recommend her and the firm to anyone in our community.

Very Satisfied
My successful court case was handled by Carrie Fulton-Brown. She is highly professional, skilled, attentive, understanding, and respectful. Given my prior experience with other firms, I was extremely impressed with how available and responsive she was when I had questions. Ms. Fulton-Brown always got back to me promptly and always answered each of my messaged questions. Most importantly, I was extremely pleased with the results Ms. Fulton-Brown was able to get for me, in agreement with a challenging prosecutor. I had already fired another law firm, due to their pessimism regarding my case. Fortunately for me, Carrie Fulton-Brown delivered.

Don't judge a book by its cover
I want the person reading this review to know one thing up front and then I'll add a little bit more about my experience. First, don't bother trying to figure Carrie out and if you feel you must question her methods, do so with the assumption that you are most likely wrong. I wanted to feel like Carrie understood what I was going through emotionally and I wanted her to connect with me on that level. That is not what is going to help you be successful and in my experience with Carrie, she's not going to waste anyones time messing around with emotions. What matters most is that she knows what she's doing and that is going to be extremely important as you are paying her to navigate a system that is already set up against you. Second, I am not over stating my last sentence. The system is set up against the accused. I know there are broken people that do very broken, painful and down right destructive things. Unfortunately, the legal system has no way of knowing the difference. As I learned, there are methods and formulas our world has tried to build to help figure out when what you're dealing with is a lie, but as I learned in my case, they can and do get it very very wrong. I was falsely accused of some awful things by my daughter and despite my attempts to go along with the systems methods (meeting with CPS, the detectives, etc.) I found myself arrested and formally charged. Fast forward a year and a half later and Carrie navigated the trial process beautifully, leading the jury to return a just not guilty verdict! Lastly, as i'm learning now that portion is over with, it all doesn't just go away. And for that my friend, I'm very sorry. Like I said, we are working with a very broken system; but with that being said, I was found to be not guilty by 12 of my peers, and I am now free of those charges and able to continue to fight this broken system for my children.

Helpful and hardworking
She helped reduce my felony sex offense to a misdemeanor with no jail time or sex offense registration. This was the hardest and scariest event of my life so far, but one thing I didn’t have to worry about was that Carrie was doing everything she could for me. The cost was average for the services I required, and the office was attentive to my needs.

Carrie is Very Knowledgeable,Firm &Hardworking Lawyer
My Family hired Carrie to represent me on a case where my wife falsely accused me on a crime I didn't do. Carrie worked on my case very diligently and was able to dismiss my case. I recommend Carrie Fulton-Brown with no reservations to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Will Go The Extra Mile
I hired Carrie Fulton-Brown as my attorney after an unfortunate alcohol induced run in with the law. Carrie was able to negotiate with the prosecutor and get my case dismissed. Carrie is very knowledgeable and was aggressive in her preemptive legal tactics. Carrie was patient and helpful answering all my questions on how my case could play out. I felt confident with my decision and felt informed about what was happening. My case was finished in well under a year. Thank you Carrie for helping me!

DV case
I hired Carrie through Benjamin & Healy firm, she made me feel welcome and supported in the moment I needed the most. I was going trought a DV case, she gave me the great news that she got my case dismissed before even going to court. Also they were more than fair with the price. I recommend this firm and her anytime.

An Excellent choice
I hired Carrie and the Healy team to represent me in a pre-charge case. Carrie is very firm/aggressive as well as knowledgeable-she put a stop to a situation that could have exulated into a far more complicated case. I would highly recommend Carrie Fulton-Brown. Carrie will help you understand your rights and options.

Case Dismissed
My husband was placed in a very serious situation with our daughter and falsely accused of domestic violence. He was thrown into jail over the weekend putting our family in a very dire and stressful situation. We reached out to the law firm of Benjamin and Healy and acquired there services over the weekend! When we met with Ms. Fulton-Brown she was attentive, and knowledgeable. She offered her services to us even after the case was dismissed and helped us in our most serious time of need. We strongly recommend her representation to anyone needing immediate help.

Hire Carrie Fulton-Brown!
I was facing 12+ months of prison time and terrified. I hired Carrie and explained my situation, explained how important it was to find an alternative to prison. Carrie was open, honest, and committed to getting the best result for me. She did just that, and my life is back on track! If you want results, call Carrie Fulton-Brown!

Handled a delicate situation well
I got into trouble in 1998 in Arizona with a problem that followed me to Washington. Carrie petitioned the court to release me from my responsibility and was successful. She's brief, no-nonsense, but will work for you.

Highly Recommended
Carrie did everything in her power to secure a reckless driving for me on my second DUI charge in a seven year span (which is usually the punishment for your first if you blow double the legal limit). I am still not really sure how she pulled it off, but I am certain she is an amazing attorney.

An amazing advocate!!
I have had the pleasure of working with Carrie Fulton-Brown on two different occasion. When she was practicing family law she was able to win me full custody of my son. More recently I found myself in need of a criminal defense attorney and by gods grace I found Carrie. At great odds and seemingly impossible circumstances Mrs. Fulton-Brown was able to negotiate an outcome that not only kept me out of jail but gave me the opportunity to continue my life with my family and also participate in a program that will help me better myself through hard work and accountability. I would recommend Carrie to anyone and everyone in need of an attorney. She isn't just an attorney either she is an advocate. She really cares about her work and her clients. You should be lucky to retain her as your council.
