Wow

This guy does not seem to care . Lack of communication. No effort on his part to keep me informed . Ineffective counsel. I would go to some one else .

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He is a miracle worker!

I got myself into a couple of sticky situations between 2006 and 2008 (domestic violence, possession with intent to deliver, and forgery), moved out of state and stayed out of state for almost 13 years. When the time felt right, I decided to move back to Washington and face the music of my past. Beck...with Law was the first law office I contacted. I initially spoke with Christine Beckwith directly. We discussed my unique situation and the few different ways she thought things could go. After speaking with her I was immediately comfortable and knew I had found my representation. Laurence Tran became my attorney and things stated moving forward. 13 years of looking over your shoulder will put anyone in a tailspin and quite frankly give even the steadiest hand anxiety… I was so nervous, but every time I would talk to Laurence, he would put my mind at ease and let me know what the next move was. All of his moves worked out, I never had to go to jail, and I never had to set foot in a court room. All of my hearings were done via Zoom. Within three court appearances (via Zoom) I no longer had the two warrants I started with and I was in a felony diversion program that will after a year and successful completion fully dismiss all the charges I was facing. This was the best possible outcome for me. Never in a million years did I ever even consider something like this outcome but here I am living it. Laurence answered his phone, responded to texts and emails quickly and always kept me up to speed on what he was working on and what the prosecutors from each case were saying as well. Laurence is a miracle worker and knows how to get the job done! I pray I never need legal representation again in life, but if I do I know who I will call. LAURENCE TRAN with Beckwith Law in Tacoma. I must also mention Emma Watkins the senior paralegal with their firm. She too was excellent at answering questions and returning phone calls and emails. Being a paralegal is hard work that is mainly done behind the scenes, it really is a thankless job… I am here to change that. Emma was a gem, and I was so fortunate to have her on my side. If you need representation call Beckwith Law, their prices are more than fair… Almost unfair for them, I mean I would have paid much more had I known the level of expertise I was getting. I am so thankful for Laurence and Emma both, they have changed my entire life in only a few months. THANK YOU, LAURENCE! THANK YOU, EMMA!

Domestic violence dispute

I was falsely accused of domestic violence, Mr. Tran used his expertise to help the prosecution to see through the false accusations and clear my name of such. Great work Mr. Tran! Thank you very much you are highly recommended!

Highly Recommend! 1000x over!

I was arrested for a DUI and had a pretty high BAC. I was terrified of the worst outcome possible. Mr. Tran was very knowledgeable and reassuring. He responded to my many many questions quickly and helped me step by step to make sure I was able to complete everything I needed on my end. I had a prett...y high BAC however, Mr. Tran researched and reviewed my situation and was able to negotiate my case down to a reckless driving. I don't plan to ever be in this situation again but I would definitely return to Mr. Tran again. Absolutely best outcome for a very scary and serious situation.

Very Knowledgeable

I was very nervous about the outcome. At first the state was unwilling to negotiate. Then Mr. Tran took over my case. With his research the prosecutors offered a reduced charge due to inconsistencies Mr. Tran discovered from their evidence gathering; that questioned the credibility of the Breathalyze...r. My court fees were also reduced. I don't expect to be in this situation again. I would retain his services if however needed.
