Lyliane has a huge advantage over most criminal defense attorneys having spent six years as a prosecutor. "They know that she knows what they know". Knowledge of both criminal law and procedure is excellent and evident in her pro bono contributions. Client reviews are stellar. READ THEM? Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation.
Aaron Lukoff, Speeding and traffic ticket Attorney on Aug 24, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer because she is smart and aggressive. She looks for the win in every case. If you have an issue in Eastern Washington. Hire her and her partner Nathan. They are both good folk.
Nathan Albright, Criminal defense Attorney on Aug 7, 2014
Relationship: Co-worker
Lyliane is an excellent criminal defense attorney. I have known Lyliane for over 12 years as an attorney in the community. I first knew her as a deputy prosecuting attorney, then as a solo practitioner. She has always had a very good reputation as a strong advocate for her clients, and particularly knowledgeable in criminal defense. I have since established a partnership with Lyliane and have worked with her more closely and know that she has the highest standards, works hard for her clients, and obtains very favorable results for them.

Lyliane is a determined, zealous advocate for her clients. She is a skilled litigator with a lot of experience. I would highly recommend Lyliane for legal representation!

I endorse Ms. Couture and her work. I've been opposing counsel on matters with her, and frequently refer felony criminal defense cases her way. She has the knowledge base and background with which to offer efficient, well-informed representation for her clients.

I have worked beside Lyliane Couture in the Grant County juvenile criminal defense system since January 2011 and I endorse her whole-heartedly.
Jeffrey Goldstein, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 16, 2011
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I've been on the other side of cases from Lyliane back when she was a prosecutor, and while this a tough business and adversarial by nature, I always felt like I was getting a fair shake in my dealings with her: Lyliane is tough, but reasonable, two good traits that every lawyer should have.
Albert Lin, Administrative law Attorney on Apr 5, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. Lyliane did an outstanding job in an election and voting rights challenge. She was successful and did so with honesty, professionalism, and integrity.
Philip Petersen, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 11, 2010
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have worked with Lyliane on several matters of the years. She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to criminal defense work, and her reputation with the courts and prosecutors is one of the best around. I highly endorse her work.
Patrick Earl, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 2, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer's work.
