I highly recommend Cristine. She recently represented me on my DUI in which I had a very high breath test. Despite the high breath test and some other challenging issues with my case, Cristine was able to get the charges significantly reduced. I could not be happier with her representation and highly recommend her to anyone that needs an aggressive defense attorney on their side!
I was just planning to give up and ask the judge for mercy until a close friend insisted that I call Cristine. Maybe the best advice I have ever gotten from a friend.
Cristine was able to get me a deal where I only needed to stay out of trouble and take an anger management class and everything will be DISMISSED! Really happy with that considering I told the police EVERYTHING and was expecting the worst.
THANK YOU MS. BECKWITH!
"CRISTINE IS COMPASSIONATE WITH CLIENTS, BUT SHE IS TOUGH WHEN SHE FIGHTS YOUR CRIMINAL CHARGES."
Cristine began her career as a criminal prosecutor, but found that her true passion was for defending the accused and not prosecuting them. In 2004, she became a criminal defense attorney.
Cristine soon developed a reputation for winning tough cases. In 2007, she opened a criminal law firm in Tacoma.
Today, Cristine works from both her Seattle and Tacoma offices. She defends clients from felony and misdemeanor charges.
Cristine received a significant number of 4+ stars in

Knowledgeable, honest and capable.
Very helpful and gave honest advise while other lawyers tried to rip me off with false promises. She isn't lying on her profile when she said she took up law to help others. Pleasantly surprised that such lawyers still exist...

Best First Time Experience
Never did I imagine I'd be in a situation where I needed a lawyer. I was referred to Beckwith Law & they were so helpful in navigating my situation. Not only have my charges been reduced, they also helped with a letter of explanation with my new employer. I am so grateful they were able to get me through a difficult situation without impacting my life & career.

superb
Recently I found myself embroiled in a legal situation that was completely overwhelming and frightening for me. I was guided to Kristine Beckwith as the firm to use for good results. Throughout the whole process I was given clear guidance and encouragement with very positive results. I want to thank all who were involved, from the bottom of my heart. You saved me from a very frightening outcome . I would like thank my attorney , Luis who worked for me as he was outstanding .

Excellent Service
I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the experience was with this firm. The compassion, and commitment they displayed in working with our family during a very difficult time, was beyond admirable. From making the phone call to Attorney Cristine Beckwith, when all hope seemed lost. To Attorney Luis Carlo showing up in court the very next day, to represent my son at his arraignment, get him a low bail, and right off the back dig holes in the States case was a “win!” In less than a day, this firm worked very hard to show that they would have winning results. I was at ease that I has made the right choice, and the best part of it all the charges were dropped. Thank you so much Beckwith Law!

Great choice for an attorney
Charlie and Cristine acted fast on my case when I was arrested foe my DUI over a holiday weekend. Cristine came and saw me in jail over the weekend and Charlie did my hearing on a holiday so I didn't have to spend any additional time in jail. It was a crazy experience that could have turned out so bad if I didn't have Beckwith Law as my lawyers. They were able to get me a good resolution and I was able to move on with my life thanks to their help.

I don't even know where to begin with how wonderful this law office is! I live in Las Vegas, which would have been difficult, but they handled everything for me! They were very thorough, honest, helpful, patient, and right there by my side! I highly recommend them!!!

Outstanding Attorney!
Cristine was very straight with what would happen and let us know right from the beginning. Her partner, Carrie, was also outstanding to work with. Cristine was accessible at all times and was willing to spend whatever amount of time to ensure that all questions were answered. We never felt like we were being a nuisance to her at anytime. If I could not get in contact with her, Carrie would always be available at anytime. Additionally, the staff that works with Cristine is always very supportive and available. This is not a situation that I would like to find myself in again, however, if I had to get an attorney to fight for me, Cristine would be the first person that I would contact. The bottom line is that you cannot go wrong with Cristine, Carrie or their staff. This is an exceptional law group that actually cares about their clients beyond just getting paid.

Beckwith Law
Beckwith Law represented me with integrity and respect. After a pretty rough time in my life, I found myself searching for a criminal defense attorney. After my initial consultation, I was comfortable with Beckwith Law and trusted that they had my best interest at heart. I had realistic expectations about my DUI case, so the resolution on my case was fair. I hired Beckwith Law for a reason and let them fight for me. I would highly recommend Beckwith Law.

Everything went very well
I hired Beckwith Law to restore my gun rights. Before agreeing to take my case they made sure I was eligible. My situation was pretty complicated and two other attorneys wanted more money and neither had done their homework compared to the Beckwith law firm. Happy to be able to hunt again.

She saved my career
Ms. Beckwith never gave up on my case and that is why I'm still a soldier. I never felt judged by her. I'm gratefull for what she got done for me. God bless

Wonderful results
I have been in the court systems for several years, always pleading guilty because of public defenders has made the ongoing experience difficult to deal with. Christine Beckwith and her office not only had a great price for my case, but they kept me informed every step of the way and had all matters resolved in just a couple months. I would recommend this office to anyone with legal problems looking for the best results and in a timely manner. I can't express how impressed I was with the results of my case and how well Christine and her office handled everything every step of the way.

Cristine Beckwith Review
Unfortunately, this is the 2nd time I had to render Mrs. Beckwith's services. When I first spoke to her, she was extremely informative about the issue I was in. Her professionalism over the phone was a factor as well. I spoke to a few different lawyers/firms, before I decided to hire Cristine. The first instance I hired her for was involving a Domestic Violence case. The charges were never filed, so there wasn’t much for her to do. However she was going to refund most of my money, but I insisted on her keeping it, to have her proceed with a “no contact order†against the other party. This ended up becoming a mutual “no harassment order†and I have never had any correspondence with the respondent since I last saw her in court. I only appeared in court once, which was by choice. Everything was taken care of by her and I periodically received updates.
The second issue was related to a DUI. I only had to appear in court twice. She got the infraction dropped to “negligent drivingâ€, pending 24 months of no further incidents. The case with WADOL was dismissed. So despite my very poor judgment, I can’t express how extremely pleased I was with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of these two types of services. I rarely had questions for Mrs. Beckwith, as she gives as much information up front as she can. She keeps you updated and is very accessible. She is very responsive to communication via email, phone or text message.
Cristine is very realistic and will give you a good idea of what the likelihood of the outcome might be. In my case they turned out better than what I originally thought. Obviously there are a lot of factors that can determine the outcome, but I have never been disappointed with her.
You ROCK Cristine!

Trustworthy/Knowledgeable
She has been very dependable and has the best interest of the client as her goal. working with her for 3 years makes us feel she has been part of the family. She is very knowledgeable and always on top of every twist and turn of events.

Compassionate
Cristine Beckwith and her associate, Natalie, were so caring and compassionate towards me when I was at my lowest point. I was terrified and had no idea what to expect during my DUI case. These two people let me cry, listened to my comments and lead me through what for me was a very traumatic time. I am so thankful for Cristine and her group and would recommend to anyone.
