Exceeded expectations
I am the mother of one of Mr DeBray’s clients. My son has many challenges. I worked with Mr DeBray to help my son gain global resolution in his many cases. I found him to be honest, up front and have amazing follow through. He was quick to respond and did exactly what he said he was going to do. ...

Cut and dry
The sure thing about Ted is that he'll tell you exactly how it is. He has stuck up against bail companies prosecutors and judges for me. Ted will tell you the truth and sometimes the truth hurts. I appreciate Ted's representation.

Great Attorney!!!
This was my first time ever needing an attorney and I had no idea what I was doing. However, Ted took me through everything step by step and I am now able to move on in my life.

Got good result
Ted got a great result for me and kept his fees reasonable. He was accessible and knowledgeable.
"DeBray is one of the best criminal law attorneys in Cowlitz county. He is intelligent, has excellent work product and is impressive in the court room. He is equally capable of mediating a case to an agreed resolution or taking a case to trial. One of the things I like best about DeBray is his ability to talk to clients and help them get to heart of what really matters. I highly recommend DeBray and his current employer is lucky to have him on staff!"
"I endorse this lawyer. Ted's reputation as creative and zealous trial warrior in the defense community preceded him so he was always someone that I'd pay attention to as he advocated for his clients in the courtroom. Soon after meeting Ted we became co-counsel on an intense and challenging "Three Strikes" case involving a shooting outside a bar that involved an immense and interesting cast of characters and where the stakes couldn't have been higher. It was a privilege to work the case with Ted, as he was more than up for the challenge which included thorough witness investigations, complex legal analysis, creative case management, and the massive amount of work required to secure our client a fair trial in difficult circumstances. I learned much from working with Ted; in fact I borrowed from his closing argument in our case to deliver a devastating closing argument to win an acquittal recently. Having watched and worked with him for years, I recommend Ted without hesitation."
"I've known Ted for many years now in both his roles as defense counsel and as prosecutor. Ted is one of those attorneys that cares deeply about what happens to his clients. He also cares deeply about our judicial system and has taken significant personal and professional risks to stand up for what is right - for that we all owe him a debt of gratitude. Ted is very hardworking and advocates for his clients vigorously. You will be well-served if you choose to retain Ted."
"I have known Mr. DeBray for many years, He has always been a tenacious advocate, and very skilled in the courtroom. He does good work for his clients."
"I've personally seen Ted hard at work on complex white-collar crime cases. I've consulted with him to get advice on my own cases and he's a wealth of knowledge with a friendly disposition. I endorse his work."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ted DeBray is one of the smartest most principled lawyers out there. He knows the law and the legal process well. As a former prosecutor he knows how prosecutors think which gives him the edge when defending his criminal clients. When you hire Ted you can be sure your money is well spent as he will provide you with the best defense. I recommend Ted without hesitation or reservation."
"I have found Mr. DeBray to be energetic and enthusiastic in the defense of his clients. I would recommend him as a tenacious lawyer."
"Ted DeBray is an intelligent and fierce advocate. He has a superior understanding of the law and many years of trial experience. Ted is a tenacious fighter and really cares about his clients and doing justice for them."
"Back when I was a prosecutor, Ted was the defense attorney on many cases. We have had two trials. I admired Ted's fierce representation for his clients. He has tremendous integrity, intelligence and knows how to win for his clients."
