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.

Nothing but the best
John is a great guy and a terrific attorney. He has been my attorney for the last 10 years and I wouldn't even think to use anyone else. It's hard to find an attorney that really cares and John does. Thanks John!
