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. ... Thank you for your skill, caring manor and dependability. You go above and beyond to assist your clients and it shows in every dealing you have with the your clients. It is refreshing to see an attorney that sees the person behind the mistakes that one makes. Mr DeBray was a pro bono attorney for my son and treatment him like he was any other client. I know this should be a standard of practice, but this is not a standard of practice with public defense attorney’s. THANK YOU! If you need an attorney, Mr DeBray should be your first choice.

Confident, knowledgeable, reasonalbe fees, and gets results

Ted came highly recommended through a mutual friend. I was suprised when I first called about my daughter's DUI and Ted answered the phone directly and provided quite a bit of information, so we decided to meet. Both my daughter and I were terrified by the felonies that had been added for misconduc...t during her DUI arrest, but after our first meeting with Ted felt reassured by his knowledge and expertise- that things would work out okay, and they did!

Wrongful charges for possession

First time ever arrested. The charges were for possession of a controlled substance, the car was also impounded. These charges were incorrect as I was a medical provider for a member of my family. I was referred to Ted DeBray by another lawyer that our family has used. Ted was immediate and respo...nsive, handling everything in an expedient manner. He had the charges dropped, the car was released and we were relieved. We have since referred other friends to him and would readily do so in the future.

Chelsea Baldwin

Criminal defense lawyer | Jun 22

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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!"

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
