Senator “Austin” Ansingh earned his law degree from Seattle University School of Law. Seattle University has a strong commitment to educating its students on the values of social justice. Austin shares the values of social justice and the protection of individual rights, which led him down the path to becoming a criminal defense attorney. This commitment to justice motivates Austin to fight for his clients.. Austin graduated from Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with a double major in Marketing and Finance. After graduation, Austin quickly realized that he had a desire to help people in a way that working in business field could not fulfill. His desire to fight for justice and to work directly with people and communities led him to law school. Austin chose Seattle University because of their commitment to social justice and his desire to practice in Washington State.. During Law School, Austin worked as an intern for a private criminal defense attorney in Seattle. There he gained valuable criminal law experience.

I served in the United States Marine Corps an received Honorable Discharge from the Marine in 1995. I became an attorney in 2004 and have been practicing criminal Law ever since.  I enjoy helping people navigate their way throught a legal system that many deem broken.  I am committed to understanding the clients wants and needs.

I am the owner and managing attorney for Pacific Point Defense. The firm focuses on criminal law and personal injury. I have handled everything from complex second strike cases to simple misdemeanors, though most of my practice is devoted to DUIs.  I enjoy my line of work immensely and love to take on a new challenging case.  I pride myself on being a thorough and effective negotiator and an accessible counselor. Before going into private practice, I gained invaluable experience as a public defender. I am a trial attorne to my core. There is no leverage in negotiating a case if an attorney doesn't understand what the implications of trial would be and isn't prepared to take the case all the way if necessary.

I am the Founder and Managing Attorney of NextLaw PLLC in Tacoma. Prior to that, I founded and served as CEO of Puget Law Group LLP for over a decade, leading it to become the largest Criminal and Injury law firm in the Pacific Northwest, if not the West Coast. I am a former prosecuting attorney with nearly twenty years' experience handling DUI and other criminal cases in the Puget Sound area and beyond. I went to law school with the goal of becoming a prosecutor and began my legal career with the Skagit County Prosecutor's Office, where I handled several jury trials before graduating cum laude from Seattle University School of Law in 2005. After passing the Bar, I continued working as a prosecutor for several years in Federal Way and Pierce County, handling hundreds of DUI and criminal cases.. Over time I realized that, despite a high percentage of success at trial, I was more interested in helping people than I was in prosecuting them. I left the prosecutor's office in 2010 and went into private practice with Park Chenaur, a Personal Injury firm, where I handled both criminal defense and personal injury cases. In 2013, I went out on my own to start my own firm, Gerl Law PLLC. In 2016 I rebranded as Puget Law Group.. In 2019, Puget Law Group became a partnership, with a goal to develop a Personal Injury practice alongside our Criminal Defense practice.. Over the next five years, I led PLG to become the fastest growing Criminal and Injury Law Firm in America (Inc. 5000, Law Firm 500) and the fastest growing law firm of any kind in Washington state. For the past few years we've been listed among the Inc. 5000 "Fastest Growing Companies in America," the Puget Sound Business Journal's "Fastest Growing Private Companies in Washington," and Law Firm 500's "Fastest Growing Law Firms in America." Under my leadership, we were voted "Best in the PNW" in four categories by the Seattle Times.. In January 2024 I left PLG to found NextLaw PLLC. Specializing in the same practice areas as before, but with a renewed focus on and commitment toward the client experience.. I am a member of the Washington State Bar Association and Tacoma-Pierce County Bar Association. I am licensed to practice law in courts throughout Washington in both State and Federal Court.. In my spare time I enjoys sports, cars, graphic design, barbecuing, and being dad to three boys aged 16, 10, and 4.

I am happy to talk law all day if you want to talk law all day.  Or I can just keep it simple and easy.  We have a complex and nuanced legal system that works surprising well.  Of course it has flaws and could be better.  But sometimes those flaws can benefit you.  I'll guide you through this dynamic system to get the best outcome for you.

Gina Buskirk was born and raised in Washington. As a daughter from a blue collar Boeing family, she set her sights on being the first woman in her family to graduate from college. She worked her way through college earning her J.D. from Seattle University where she graduated Cum Laude in 2000.. After passing the bar, Gina focused on civil litigation and juvenile criminal defense. In 2002, she was recruited to become a prosecutor and became well-known in the legal community for her ability to effectively manage and litigate a wide variety of cases in courts throughout Kitsap County. While assigned to the Juvenile division, she handled misdemeanor and felony crimes including Vehicular Assault, Burglary, and sex offenses. She was eventually promoted to the position of Senior Prosecutor of the District/Municipal Court Division where she supervised all misdemeanor criminal offenses for Kitsap County, Bremerton, Poulsbo, Port Orchard, and Bainbridge Island and was responsible for training officers in all jurisdictions of Kitsap County. She continually honed her trial skills on the highest priority matters for her division: DUI and Domestic Violence cases.. In 2009, the city of Bremerton recruited Gina to become the City of Bremerton Prosecutor. She was tasked with creation of the criminal division. She recruited, mentored and trained new attorneys, advised law enforcement, set all plea & negotiation standards, and prosecuted all civil matters and crimes in municipal court including infractions, bench trials, and jury trials.. As a former prosecutor, Gina spent nearly two decades training law enforcement officers in effective report writing techniques, courtroom testimony preparation, infraction investigations, criminal law updates, vehicle and animal impounds, evidence seizure/forfeiture, domestic violence, DUI BAC/blood testing, and search and seizure. She was also responsible for being on call to assist with search warrants and to answer urgent legal questions in the midst of ongoing criminal investigations. Her depth of experience resulted in her being invited to become an advanced DUI law enforcement instructor. In 2013, Gina began teaching law enforcement certification courses for “Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement” (ARIDE). She was also added as a law enforcement instructor for statewide “Drug Recognition Expert” (DRE) certification programs. Over the course of her career, Gina has trained 100s of officers throughout Washington on critical issues in criminal investigations and complex alcohol and drug DUI issues.. As a guest speaker for Washington State Bar Association approved legal seminars, Gina has lectured before the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys on “Manifest Injustice Sentencing of Juveniles" and was guest lecturer before the Washington State Association of Municipal Attorneys, teaching professional ethics in “Crossing the finish line, Making Your Case & Avoiding the Pitfalls of Misconduct.” Gina has also served as a Judge Pro Tem for Bremerton and Port Orchard Municipal Courts, presiding over numerous civil and criminal cases and jury trial.. Gina has handled thousands of criminal cases and has been honored as a YWCA Woman of Achievement and a “40 Under 40” Emerging Leader for her success in the legal profession and her commitment to community service.. Regardless of the type of criminal charge you are facing, you can rely Gina’s talent for successful courtroom advocacy and her ability to provide the personal care you need while being approachable, responsive, efficient and effective.. When Gina isn’t in the courtroom, she enjoys spending time adventuring with her husband (Todd), her two children, and her dogs.

Facing criminal charges is a complicated and intimidating process, requiring an experienced and zealous advocate on your side. Throughout this challenging time you need someone unafraid to stand up and protect your rights. I have practiced criminal defense exclusively for my entire career and am passionate about defending people.
