Ron Gomes Criminal Defense

I had a DUI in Port Orchard, WA. Even though my breath test was under the legal limit, the prosecutor charged me under the "affected by" portion of the DUI laws. Mr. Gomes took my case all the way to trial. He did such a good job that the jury came back with a "not guilty." This saved my job and... my family. he was caring and supportive, but he also advised me to not ever go driving after drinking any beer or other alcoholic drinks. The risk is just too great.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2014.

Disbarment issued in WA, 2014

updated on 07/02/2014

This is the most serious penalty for a lawyer. If this attorney is currently practicing law, you should contact the the Washington State Bar to understand the reasons for this disbarment.

Reprimand issued in WA, 2010

updated on 03/03/2011

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
