FAQs

You live in Washington State, but my criminal case is in another jurisdiction. Can you help me?
Yes. There is a special process where attorneys can be admitted in another jurisdiction call pro hac vice. Generally, if I fill out a form, pay a fee, and have an attorney licensed to practice in that jurisdiction serve as my sponsor or local counsel. I can appear for purposes of that one case. The process is similar in different federal jurisdictions.

I don't have money for a lawyer. Can you help me?
As much as I'd like to help everyone for free, I can't. Over the years, clients have turned to families, friends, and others who believe in them. But no matter who pays my fee, my primary duty is to the client.

I want to use this case to make social change. Can you help me?
I understand your wish that no other family goes through what you are going through. My primary responsibility to your son/daughter/spouse etc. in this particular case and as an attorney and officer of the court, I am confined to practices and procedures of the legal system. Different jurisdictions have limits on what attorneys can say to the press.
