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.

20%

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.

Amazing....

I contacted Bret through a referral in a very desperate state. Facing charges that truly wouls impact my future career and employment. I was at a loss and he stepped in and literally saved my future. He was patient when I was pushy and stressed, he was willing to work with me and in the end I can h...onestly say I have found my "go-to attorney". Thank you Bret to giving me my future back and getting my charge dismissed. I am so grateful!

Awesome Lawyer

I was recommended to Bret by a large criminal law firm in Seattle. Bret was extremely responsive and efficient, he took care of both of my violations without having to show up once in court ( I live in Seattle, had court in Aberdeen). I couldn't recommend him enough. Thank you again Bret!!!

Hands Down

Bret has been much more than a lawyer. He's made connections for me, helped guide me to the right places and people to better my situation not just for the case at hand, but for life in general. He's been there to talk, listen and just be concerned. The bar is set by Bret and anyone who's acquired hi...s services already knows this to be the truth. You know no one hires a lawyer for criminal issues because of good choices or experiences, but a lawyer like Bret can be the first good choice in your path back to getting right.

Great job

Bret did an awesome job at getting both my cases deferred and dropped. Very professional. I would hire him again in a heart beat!

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney!

He was great defending my case and I am pleased with the outcome. I recommend Mr. Woody to everyone and would retain him again.
