About Carrie
Biography
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. In 2010, she went on to graduate from Seattle University with her Juris Doctorate. While in law school she was a contributor to the Journal for Social Justice. In addition, Ms. Fulton-Brown completed the prestigious Trial College at the University of Virginia.
