Professional from start to finish!

A call to Martin Duenhoelter’s office was promptly followed up personally by him. No recorded messages or machines ever. Very professional and helpful. He and his assistant put my mind to rest immediately in regards to a speeding ticket I received. I never had to do anything except turn over my ticke...t, which he successfully got dismissed. No court, no hassle, no worry for me and every bit well worth the fee! They called personally to let me know the day it was dismissed and followed up with a letter to confirm. What a relief! Thank you! If you need an attorney look no further!!

Very Pleased

Duenhoelter's office walked me through the process and what to expect. Every communication from the court was explained and the outcome was favorable. Would definitely work with him again!

Pierce County's best Traffic Lawyer

I received a $207 ticket for going 16 miles over in Lakewood. Martin got it reduced to $136, non-moving. He appeared it court for me, I didn't have to show up and deal with the stress of court or taking a day off for court. Don't fight a ticket without Martin. His staff gets back to you right awa...y and Martin will speak with you personally as well to give you your options.

Thank you so much! It is clients like this that makes this job so rewarding and fun, makes all the stress of fighting with the Prosecutor worth it!

I want to say thank you to Mr. Duenhoelter for representing me and having my citation dismissed. He really listen's to his clients. This was a painless process.

Results speak for themselves

Martin is a very straight forward & easy to talk to. He was able to get my speeding ticket reduced/amended to an "Expired Tabs" fine which means that it does not go against my driving record for insurance purposes. I drive a lot of miles annually & need to keep my driving record clean... Thanks again... for getting excellent results in court ! Martin is simply "THE BEST"

"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."

"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. 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."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
