About John
Biography
Having been raised as the youngest child in a working class, blue collar family, I learned at a young age the value of hard work, dedication, and standing up for what's right. I bring all of those values to my criminal defense practice. If you have been charged with a crime, you need an attorney who will work hard to to obtain the best outcome. An attorney who is dedicated to your defense. And most of all, an attorney who will stand up and fight for you. I have relied on these values throughout my 20+ years practicing criminal defense in the state of Washington.

He always made himself available any time I had any questions or concerns. He put so much time and energy in to both of my cases. I recommend John Dohe...
