I Understand What You and Your Family are Going Through
I have several family members that have suffered both addiction and mental health issues over the years. I personally know what it’s like to face the challenges that many of our clients have faced with their spouses, their children, their loved ones or their friends. And, I have been fighting for Pierce County criminal defendants for over 20 years now.
I have been handling criminal driving matters, including DUI, Negligent Driving, Reckless Driving, and Hit and Run for over 25 years now, as both a prosecutor and a criminal defense attorney. I have also handled hundreds of theft, assault, criminal trespass, harassment, and fish and wildlife cases, as well as dozens of other misdemeanor and felony charges.
Helping Thousands of Clients
When you retain us, you are retaining a team of legal professionals that is dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
And, if I’ve learned anything through my decades in the trenches, it’s that the only fight that you are guaranteed to lose is the fight that you do not undertake. Most legal cases are successfully resolved through forceful but practical negotiations that are focused on the end result. If your case requires trial, however, we will not hesitate to fight your case out in court.
I started practicing law over 25 years ago. And, in that time, our legal offices have helped thousands of clients throughout Western Washington navigate the difficult and often choppy waters of the Washington State criminal justice system.
Jason and His Family Reside in Pierce County, Near Gig Harbor
Jason and his reside in Pierce County. He’s your local Pierce County and Tacoma criminal defense attorney. He also handles all Thurston County and Kitsap County cases. And, he consults on most King County and Snohomish County cases. He has been helping Washingtonians who are caught in a legal jam for over twenty years now.
He has two daughters that attend public schools, and, in the winter, they can often be found up at the pass skiing. Jason enjoys all types of outdoor pursuits, but skiing has been his winter passion over the last ten years or so. In the summer, he enjoys hiking, biking, and swimming. He’s also an avid outdoorsman and fly fisherman.
Jason understands that he is incredibly fortunate and blessed to be able to do what he does, which is to help good people, who, often through no fault of their own, have fallen into difficult times or simply made a bad choice or two. Who among us hasn’t made such a bad decision? When the police get called, however, all bets are off.
This is when you need a really, really good lawyer. This is when we are at our best. Washington Criminal Attorneys was founded with one simple principle guiding every decision; in every case, every action and every decision needs to be strategically focused on getting the best possible result for our client. Period.
