Bret Allen Roberts

Bret Roberts represented my husband and I as a defense attorney regarding criminal issues we both faced out of Jefferson County Washington. He always responded promptly to our email or phone calls. Mr. Roberts went beyond the call of duty in conducting research for our cases, putting in time over the... weekend in order to fully be prepared to defend us. He was always very prepared for our court hearings. Mr. Roberts has a sharp mind and responds quickly during oral argument and always conducts himself professionally and respectfully in the courtroom. I was very impressed with the time he gave our cases with the horrendous workload he has as a public defender. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Roberts in the event he ever went into private practice. We were so fortunate to be appointed an intelligent, dedicated lawyer like him.

"Just Plead Guilty" are words an innocent person never wants to hear. This attorney did not want to fight the injustice I was facing, and due to the fact that he was a state paid public defender, I was not in a position to argue. I am afraid that Bret has just become a cog in the prosecutors machine.... It is a sad day when a defense lawyer ties the blindfold over the eyes of themis himself. I would not recommend this attorney because he did not persue his clients wishes, and seemed to lack any motivation to cast the shadow of a doubt that clearly existed in my case. I would say his handling of this matter was lazy. My overall impression of Bret was that he was overworked and unhappy with his position as a public defender. Perhaps in a better paying environment he could reach his full potential.
