I'm here to give you honest advice, clear guidance, and fierce representation.. I care about my clients and their cases, but I'm not going to "sugarcoat" anyone's situation for my own benefit. If you're looking for someone who will be honest with you, who is easy to talk to, who is compassionate -- but sometimes tough on you -- we'll probably get along.. I've been a prosecutor (Lewis County) a public defender (Lewis and Grays Harbor County), and I'm an experienced litigator. I'm not afraid to go to trial on your behalf (if that's the best choice for you) but neither will I force your case to trial to pad my own billing. I'm a big proponent of "alternative courts" (drug court, veterans court, family drug court, etc.) and helping my clients get treatment if that is something they're interested in.. I really enjoy working with both kids and adults, and I'm experienced in Juvenile criminal law as well as dependencies, CPS issues, and guardianships.. I offer free 1/2 hour criminal consults and family law consults at $50/half hour. Give me a call anytime -- I'd love to talk to you.. -- Christine

I was born and raised in Kitsap county and love the chance to serve our community by helping families and businesses find solutions to their real estate and estate planning problems.. My experience includes estate planning from simple wills to complex trusts, real estate including transactions, litigation and landlord-tenant, and business. As a general practice firm, we also have attorneys specializing in elder law, business, and consumer protection issues.. Our firm specializes in out-of-the-box thinking, cost-effective approaches, and a willingness to tackle the cases that leave others scratching their heads.

I was a newspaper reporter before attending law school, and in my practice I still like to write and meet a wide variety of people the way I did when I reported.. My motto for my family law cases is, "Putting the Children Before the Conflict."  By this I mean that I work to get people divorced with minimal damage to children.  Therefore I best serve divorcing clients who are not petty or hateful, but who want to get through this inevitably painful process as reasonably as possible.. Sometimes aggressiveness is appropriate in family proceedings, and then I will be aggressive.  But far more often I've gotten the best result for clients in family cases by trying to be a peacemaker instead of attempting to demean or hurt the opposing party.  This is crucial when children are involved -- children want, and need, to love both of their parents.  A good family law attorney always keeps that in mind.  My own experience as a father who went through a divorce always informs this attitude.

I practice Elder Law in Port Orchard Washington for GSJones Law Group, PS. My areas of practice include Estate Planning, Wills, Trusts, Power of Attorney documents, Health Care Directives, Probate, Guardianship, Medicaid and Long Term Care Planning.

I have been representing clients like you for 20 years. As a litigator, I have successfully obtained settlements and verdicts in many personal injury cases with extensive experience in the courtroom representing the injured party. The two most common types of cases involve motor vehicle accidents and slip/trip and fall cases.  If you are injured, you are almost always going to come out of the situation better with the help of an attorney.  Attorneys tend to make little decisions over time that have a big cumulative effect.. The skill set from those two types of cases play into boundary line disputes, contract disputes, and other disputes.  I will help litigate those disputes.  Our office has several attorneys practicing in diverse legal areas that I can turn to when litigation demands that expertise. We are also known for handling URGENT injury matters that call for quick court action.

I have been defending citizens accused of crimes in the Kitsap County area for 21 years.  I am as passionate and commited to this practice as I was the day I stepped into my first courtroom in November, 1990.  I do not have "cases", I have clients, each one with a unique set of life experiences and concerns.  Every one of my clients has my home phone number and cell phone number so that they can reach me at any time, for any reason.  In my practice, the client is the Boss.. I am connected to every component of the criminal justice system in Kitsap County.  I know every deputy prosecutor, most of the local police officers and all of the judges and court personnel.  While this does not necessarily guarantee a better outcome for my clients, it does open many doors and allows me to efficiently procure a positive outcome for the vast majority of my clients.  It also assists me in keeping my legal fees down.. I have represented more than 3,000 citizens accused of felony crimes, taking more than 150 to jury trials.  The charges have ranged from minor offenses such as auto theft and burglary to more serious crimes such as murder, robbery and rape.  I have defended one person charged with a capital murder and we were successful in persuading the jury not to impose the Death Penalty.  I have also represented more than 1,000 citizens accused of misdemeanors, taking dozens to jury trials.  The charges have predominantly been DUI's or Domestic Assaults.. I look forward to hearing from you to see if I can assist you with your legal issues.. Tim Kelly

Eric is part of a dying breed of trial lawyers who tries civil and criminal cases with equal passion, sophistication, and success. Landmark cases include the creation of the constitutional right of intimate association in Washington State (Eric protected the rights of low income housing residents against oppressive “crime control” measures). Eric represented George Clinton, the iconic funk musician/artist in the largest copyright case in American history, and helped him keep his catalogue of work. Eric’s $91,000,000 verdict is the largest compensatory damages verdict for one person in Washington State history, and one of the largest ever in the United States.. With over 100 cases tried to a verdict, few lawyers can match Eric’s experience in court. With cases ranging from Murder to white collar crime, and medical malpractice to toxic fume cases, even fewer lawyers can match the breadth of experience in various fields of law. A student in the art of trying cases, Eric’s mentors are Paul Luvera, Gerry Spence and Rick Friedman. Eric has tried cases with Nick Rowley, and Bill Barton is a kindred spirit and close personal friend. Through these relationships, Eric is privy to the insights and thoughts of the greatest trial lawyers ever to walk the earth.
