I cannot recommend Karlie enough. Having criminal charges hanging over someone’s head is incredibly stressful...She paid attention to the details, stood her ground, and ultimately WON his case.

VERIFIED CLIENT
If I could give Karlie Valdez a 6th star then I would....I was wrongfully accused of a crime that I did not commit and had the odds stacked very heavily against me....Long story short, she managed to have my case dismissed!
Jakob E. - Unlawful Use of a Weapon
★★★★★
VERIFIED CLIENT
The WDFW attempted to suspend my fishing license for minor infractions...I have never worked with a lawyer that is a pleasure to work with until working with her...I strongly recommend anyone with a game infraction to contact her immediately.

For more than 23 years, I’ve guided people through their most vulnerable legal crises, from DUI and license suspensions to DV assault and complex felony negotiations. I believe bad things happen to good people, and everyone deserves fierce, non-judgmental counsel.
