Put your case into his hands

I've been fortunate enough to have been defended by justin gray in 2020 on allegation of felony assault, as a result that case was dismissed a few days before trial. I had some trouble a year later, and looking at a manditory minimum sentence of five years, on each of my three seperate case's for fel...ony domestic violence protection order violations, and felony possession of a firearm, that's 5, 10, or 15 years in prison. Justin Gray magically managed to get me a little time in jail and no probation. If you don't choose justin gray law, your not doing everything you can.

This guy is awesome

I had first been assigned Justin grey to help resolve a case in which I got a great deal, he was very communicative and easy going. I wasn't more happy with how things turned out for me. Then I was assigned him again in another case about one year later inwhich he helped resolve with ease, and knowin...g that he was helping just made things much less stressful. He's a awesome public defender, and I have enjoyed having him on my team. 10/10.

Very competent and effective

My case was appointed to Mr. Gray, through Beckwith Law. Although I had to fly into Seattle for three pre-trials from Washington DC between September and March, Mr. Gray delivered a great resolution with the prosecutors to settle my case. Mr. Gray always followed up with me to keep me updated with ...my case. He had a proactive approach in reaching a favorable deal for my defense. He made me feel like I was a priority, which was very important, considering I was dealing with a very disconcerting legal matter, unrelated to DUI/DWI. Mr. Gray showed great competency in comprehending what actually happened in my case (as I learned that Seattle Municipal does not take the charges I was charged with lightly at all) which made me feel like he actually cared and gave his fully undivided attention to my case. After enduring 8 months of a legal battle, Mr. Gray delivered for me, and was finally able to put to an end a very grueling and strenuous time for me. Thanks, Justin.

Prepared and well-versed in the law

My experience with Justin has been nothing short of great. I came to him so nervous and everything was an "unknown". He was able to explain the process to me and possible outcomes in a way that was informative, yet comforting. In the end, my cases ended well for me and I have Justin to thank for r...epresenting me.

"I know Justin from his days as a public defender in Whatcom County. I was constantly amazed by his work ethic and zealous advocacy. Justin was able to manage a very large case load while still giving each client individual attention. Justin was a force to be reckoned with. He has the respect of his peers and across the aisle. If you're in the Seattle area and you have a criminal defense issue I would highly recommend hiring Justin Gray."
