Even more importantly, Rick develops a relationship with his clients that is second to none and consistently achieves results beyond all expectations."

The above statement was written about me when I was an associate at the Washington DUI law firm Veitch, Gaston & Kennedy. The content of all attorney websites, this one included, is written either by the attorneys themselves or by someone the attorneys pay. Was the above statement true then, and more importantly true now? I would hope to believe so as I have worked each and every day over the past twelve years building my reputation as a Washington DUI and criminal defense attorney with integrity. The reason I have done so is because I know that when I am talking to the judge, or to the prosecutor or to an adversary about my client, that I am the client's voice. If the attorney has a poor reputation, then it is going to reflect poorly on the client. Your attorney's reputation should be the last thing that you should have to think about while dealing with your current situation. The reality however, is that your attorney's reputation is inevitably going to be reflected on you. Your attorney choice is therefore very crucial.

So, how to pick a Washington DUI or criminal defense attorney? The easiest way is if you know someone who has used the attorney in the past and recommends them to you. You could also read testimonials or reviews given by the attorney's former clients, or you could read endorsements given by other attorneys and colleagues who have interacted with your prospective Washington DUI or criminal defense attorney. The best part about client reviews and client testimonials, unlike the websites, is that they are written by the individuals themselves and not by the attorney that you are deciding upon.

Finally, the best way for you to decide if an attorney is the right fit for you is to meet and to talk to the attorney in person regarding your matter; then use your own best judgment. Call today to set up a time that is convenient for you to come in and meet with me to discuss your Washington DUI or criminal offense.
