We don’t shy away from any criminal accusation
There’s No Time To Stall Your Defense
Criminal cases move quickly. While you’re reading this, prosecutors and investigators are gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and building a case against you. We don’t mean to scare you, but realistically, every day without experienced defense counsel puts your case at greater risk:
- Evidence can disappear or degrade
- Witnesses can relocate or forget key details
- Prosecutors gain momentum
Your defense cannot wait—it should begin immediately with attorneys who understand how the system works and how to protect you.
Cases We Work
With over a decade of criminal defense experience, we’ve refined our approach to protect clients facing serious charges. We know Washington state laws like the back of our hand, and utilize that to craft a defense strategy built around your case, your rights, and your goals.
DUI
We defend drivers facing impaired driving charges by challenging stops, testing procedures, and the evidence used against you.
Assault & Battery
Allegations don’t equal guilt. We work to protect your rights, examine witness credibility, and always fight for dismissed charges.
Drug Charges
From possession to more serious allegations, we evaluate searches, seizures, and police conduct to build a strong defense.
Firearm Offenses
Gun charges carry serious consequences. We focus on lawful ownership issues, procedural errors, and constitutional protections.
Suspended or Revoked License Cases
These cases often hinge on technical details. We work to minimize penalties and help you get back on the road legally.
Our Firm Values Are to Serve the Whole Person, Not the Bank Account.
The right for representation should never come as a price tag, which is why we offer:
Monthly payment plans
Reduced fee options based on need
Sliding scale fees
Pro bono services for qualifying clients
Very few things are more expensive than a bad attorney.
But no one said an excellent attorney needs to be expensive.
Trust the right attorney.

I recently reached out to Mr. Charlie Dow in regards to a legal situation a member of my family was going through. I live in a different state but the charges were in Washington. Throughout the entire process they kept me up to date, attended multiple phone conferences and worked effectively to help us get this resolved in a very timely manner. I couldn’t recommend this law group enough. They were kind, explained everything to me perfectly and the end result was better than I was anticipating. I am extremely grateful for all of their help.Posted on Google Tommy JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got to take my hat off to Gideon's associates.

Don’t Compromise Your Rights Because of Cost or Confusion
Criminal charges can too easily impact your career, your family, and your freedom. Waiting (or choosing the wrong representation) can weaken your defense.
When you’re up against the government, you’re not on equal footing. Prosecutors have time, resources, and experience, and they aren’t obligated to protect your rights.
You deserve attorneys who will:
Fight with everything we have to protect your constitutional rights
Prevent unnecessary plea deals
Challenge weak or unfair evidence
Communicate with you clearly at every step we take
Stand by you through every phase of your case
A conviction doesn’t have to define your future. Having the right attorney advocating for you makes it merely a challenge, not a setback.
