We have not found any cost information for this lawyer
I really enjoy what I do! However, I am old school and prefer to actually talk to people rather than emailing back and forth. I believe in actual face to face or voice contact, where I can answer questions or help out otherwise. I have been in the same location for twenty years, across the street from the courthouse in Downtown Tacoma. I also am privileged to have helped out many other attorneys with their court cases. My results speak for themselves through what my clients say about me.
In my off time, I enjoy traveling to Europe (I am from Germany), I have a small farm that I enjoy working on, and I collect vintage guitars and old toy trains. I also like old german cars. I am married with two wonderful daughters. I have lived and worked in Tacoma for the past twenty+ years.
Professionally, I have served on our local Bar association as a trustee from 2011 to 2013. Additionally, I am on the Lawyerpalooza Committee, which puts on a big BBQ/party at my farm for our Pierce County Bar Association. I have served on other things too in the past, I just can't remember what they are right now.

Never failed in my 7 or so traffic infraction cases
I've had about 7 various traffic infractions dismissed thanks to Martin. One was in Bellevue and he was able to handle it even though he's based in Tacoma. He has never failed me and is a nice person to be around. I met him through a reference while I was a freshman in college, and when I met him I l...

Excellent staff, good outcome
I never met Mr. Duenhoelter myself but I did speak with him on the telephone and his staff. His staff was very thorough and very friendly. My case was pretty straight forward a simple speeding violation going 82 in a 55 which he did get dismissed. I've hired attorneys before in FL and represented mys...

You can't find one much better!
This is the third time that I have had to use Martin for a traffic related ticket. He has had all tickets dismissed for me. He is incredible and I don't have to worry about my auto insurance going up. Reasonable fee for representation and I just got my letter notifying me that for the third time Mart...
"I've tried approximately 300 jury trials. On only one did I have co-counsel, and on that one, my co-counsel was Martin Duenhoelter. Martin is an excellent attorney, and an all around great guy. Together we made a formidable team. If I missed something, Martin was there to cover for me. During our work together he proved to be an impressive trial attorney. I am also aware of his reputation in the legal community as someone who does an excellent job on behalf of both his traffic and criminal clients. Martin knows his way around Pierce County courtrooms as well as any attorney that I know. Without hesitation I recommend him to anyone in need of legal services in Pierce County, be it a traffic ticket or criminal charge."
"I regularly see Mr. Duenhoelter is the South Puget Sound traffic courts in which I appear. He is always legally extremely well prepared, his arguments are very well presented, and he knows the courts, the judges and the prosecutors. I can heartily endorse this attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is an exceptional attorney who cares about his clients and fights to get them the best possible result. He is always courteous and helpful to colleagues and it's always a pleasure to see him in court."
"Martin is a shockingly good attorney who thinks very well on his feet and is second to none in extemporaneous arguments. This skill has earned him enormous respect in the legal community. I've personally seen him argue, and win, many cases in the courtroom over many years. Trust Martin and you will be in excellent legal care."

"I endorse this lawyer. Taught me everything I know out about getting traffic infractions dismissed."
"I endorse this lawyer. Martin is brilliant and, yet, surprisingly down to earth. He knows the law, is always prepared, and respected by the members of the bench and bar. His fees are reasonable; his humor, free. If I need to understand a criminal law issue (I only practice family law), I will call Martin for advice."
"I endorse this lawyer. Not only is Martin thorough honest and effective: he's well respected by all the Judges he appears before. If your looking for someone to beat your traffic ticket, this is your guy."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr Duenhoelter is the kind of attorney you want on your side. He is dedicated to his clients and provides excellent representation."
