Being charged with a DUI can be a stressful situation. The collateral consequences can extend beyond jail and fines to include a license suspension, probation, therapy and more. It is important to have a skilled DUI defense attorney in your corner.
My approach to defending charges is simple: leave no stone unturned and examine the case from every angle. Case preparation comes down to the small details, which can make all the difference.
I have handled hundreds of criminal cases ranging from DUI's to thefts, assaults, driving with a suspended license, probation hearings, and deferred prosecution hearings, and may be able to help you.
After graduating from Gonzaga University, I attended Gonzaga Law School where I was selected to represent Gonzaga nationally on the Moot Court litigation team.
In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest, cheering on the Seahawks, and spending time with family. The legal process can be tricky and complex. Do not navigate the system on your own. Call today for a free consultation.

This guy is the best.
Tom Carley proved to be the absolute best attorney I could possibly have hoped for. He was always prompt and efficient with communication. He explained everything at each stage of the legal process clearly and with the patience of a saint. His kindly and reassuring manner helped me maintain my sanity...
"Tom is an outstanding attorney who is extremely passionate about vigorously representing his clients and always puts them in the most favorable light in front of the court. It is obvious that he genuinely cares about his clients and knows how to emphasize specific facts and circumstances to achieve the best result, whatever the charge. He is particularly likable and respectful to everyone he encounters and is a pleasure to work with - an enormous asset in the legal world. I highly respect and recommend Mr. Carley."
"Tom is a fantastic attorney who's very well respected. Not only does he zealously advocate for his clients and achieve great results, he does so while also being supportive of his clients' personal and emotional needs as his cases are ongoing. He is knowledgeable, articulate, and an all around pleasant guy to work with. I highly recommend him."
"Tom is an exceptionally bright attorney. He gets to know each case individually and inside and out. There is no "one size fits all" with Tom and his cases. He is very responsive with his colleagues and his clients. I frequently call Tom for advice on cases and I continually learn new defense strategies from him. I would highly recommend Tom for your legal needs."
"Tom is a dedicated advocate and very responsive to client calls. He has mentored me on many legal issues and knows his stuff! He always strives for the best possible results, whether that be a favorable deal or fighting at trial."
"Tom is a bit of a throwback; a classic criminal defense attorney. Sharp, succinct, well-spoken, well-prepared and to the point. Tom is constantly in court defending the accused. Because he is in court so frequently, he knows the subtle nuances and tendencies of a court and can strategically apply them to get the best possible results for his clients. Tom is spoken very highly of by both court / jail personnel and the local bar."
"Tom is a bright and passionate attorney who works hard for his clients. I always enjoy discussing issues and case strategy with Tom, and any client should feel confident with him in their corner."
"You can't go wrong with Tom Carley as your attorney. I'm in court with Tom on nearly a daily basis, and he's always prepared and effective. He's never afraid to go the mat for his clients, and he always offers his service with a smile. Tom's also well respected in the legal community, and I often speak to him when I need a second opinion about a difficult case. I'd trust Tom with my case if I had legal needs, and I know he truly cares about his clients. I heartily endorse him as an attorney, and recommend him for anyone looking for quality representation."
"I endorse Tom. He has a passionate and thoughtful dedication in representing his clients with a high attention to detail that criminal defense requires."
"Tom is a young, hungry criminal defense lawyer who works tirelessly to get his clients the best results. If he is your criminal defense attorney, you can rest assured that he is thinking about your case more than even you are. He prepares meticulously for his clients. Because being charged with a crime is a stressful situation, it is nice to know that being represented by Tom Carley gives you one less thing to worry about."
