Criminal Defense 30%

My cases have ran the gamut of the criminal court system, covering everything from simple misdemeanors to violent felonies. I treat every criminal charge against my clients seriously. Whether it be a day or a decade, your liberty is important to me.

DUI and DWI 20%

A simple mistake can cost you a lot -- Your driver's license. Your insurance. Your freedom. My attention to detail can help to turn what seems like a dead-end situation into the light at the end of the tunnel. I have handled it all; from 0.04 - 0.40.

Domestic Violence 20%

My practice has a focus on crimes classified as domestic violence, or those crimes which are committed against a family or household member. A conviction for such a crime has many collateral consequences, which I understand and take very seriously.

Expungement 10%

I may be able to vacate your old misdemeanors or felonies, or restore your right to possess a firearm. Call me to check your eligibility.

10%

Speeding and Traffic Ticket 10%

What may seem like a simple speeding ticket can end up costing you thousands of dollars in insurance premiums. Never pay the ticket. Check the Contested Hearing box. I will do everything else to keep your driving record clear.

Violent Crime 10%

When you are accused of a violent crime, you must take it seriously and you must move quickly. I have countless hours of experience arguing my clients' release from custody. The difference between being in or out of custody can save your entire case.

Easy and highly recommended for firearm restoration and charge vacations

I live in Arizona, and hired Bret to restore my firearm rights and vacate 2 misdemeanor charges I got in WA. The whole process was very smooth, and really easy on my part, especially with be being out of state. Everything went off without a hitch, and my rights are now restored, and charges vacated. ...I couldn't be happier with the whole process!

Amazing.

As someone who has never caught a break with the courts in the past, I am so grateful I reached out to Mr. Woody. Case dismissed! Thank you brother.

Highly recommend Bret

Bret was referred to us by a friend, and did not disappoint! He was able to get my son’s tickets dismissed and prevent complications with him obtaining his cdl. Would highly recommend!
