Charged with a crime? Got a traffic infraction? Need firearm rights restoration? - BETTER GET BRET!. ****Aggressive Criminal Defense****    ****Traffic Infractions****    ****Firearms Rights Restoration****. As a law student at Seattle University, I spent a year and a half providing public defense work in the King County court system. I worked in every aspect of District Court - from the jail to the jury. The diversity of my court assignments showed me a multitude of different defendants and case facts. I was able to learn the trade from some of the absolute best in the criminal defense business. Since passing the bar, I have continued on with my commitment to indigent defense, working first as a a public defender in Mason County, and then with the City of Olympia. My fee structure allows me to help people of different socioeconomic backgrounds; defending those who would otherwise be without representation.. In 2016, I started my own practice, Eloquence Law, PLLC, and it grew rapidly. I have worked in courts spanning the Western half of Washington. I actively seek firearm rights restoration for clients that have lost those rights in the past, as well as clearing records, by way of vacating felonies and misdemeanors. I have also contested and won countless traffic infractions, but the vast majority of my time is spent in criminal defense. I fully believe in zealous representation and advocacy for my clients in all cases: public or private; paid or unpaid. I believe in the idea of justice, and work daily towards reaching it for my clients.
