Mick Woynarowski

Firm: Law Office of Mick Woynarowski, PLLC
1601 Fifth Avenue , Seattle , Washington 98101
Practice Areas: Appeals, Criminal Defense
I have been zealously representing people accused of criminal wrongdoing for over 20 years. I like trying cases to juries and I like making legal arguments to judges. I have a proven track record of defending complicated of cases, at trial, on appeal, and in post-conviction proceedings. I demand that my clients' legal rights be honored to their fullest, and when appropriate, I call out police and prosecutorial overreach and misconduct, including instances of racial bias. I am based in Seattle, but I do take on cases in jurisdictions other than King County, including during pre-charging investigations.. My expertise is in defending serious violent crimes (like murder, assault, rape, robbery) and other matters that involve expert witness testimony, especially regarding mental disorders, or standards of criminal defense practice. My peers look to me for help with those types of cases. As a trial lawyer, I've secured dismissals, reductions, and not guilty jury verdicts. As an appellate defender, I have been able to get my clients’ convictions overturned, win them new trials, or re-sentencings.. At present, a lot of my work focuses on Personal Restraint Petitions (PRPs) and CrR 7.8 motions to vacate, as well as complex "second chance" resentencing hearings (be it under State v. Blake, SB6164, In re Monschke, State v. Houston-Sconiers). I find great satisfaction in creatively working with a client to meet their goals in such challenging cases, especially those involving youthfulness as mitigation.. I look forward to connecting with potential clients, or their families, to see if my skillset is a good fit for your needs.

Christian Linville

Firm: Linville Law Firm PLLC
4025 Delridge Way SW, Suite 540 , Seattle , Washington 98106
Practice Areas: Construction & Development
A lot of my practice involves litigation, so I know the importance of fortifying the client's position and preparing for trial. However, litigation is oftentimes avoidable, and in many cases, not in the best interest of the client. Lawsuits can be expensive, emotional, and time consuming. The best lawyers are skilled at avoiding them. Everything revolves around the client. Phones, libraries, conference rooms, bar numbers... would all be meaningless if there was no client. I never forget that. I put myself in my clients' shoes whenever I give advice.. I was born and raised in Seattle. I love it here. I received my B.A. degree from the University of Washington in philosophy. When my professional philosophizing career did not exactly materialize, I applied for law school. In truth, philosophy provided me with an excellent foundation to learn the art of logical reasoning and argument. They say the master philosopher (not lawyer, mind you) is capable of starting with a few premises that noone would deny, and deducing them to a conclusion with which noone would concur. The better a lawyer is at filtering through hype, posturing, and flawed reasoning, the more effective the lawyer is at serving the client's interests. Philosophy was also a good place to learn the fundamentals of ethics. I attended the University of Oregon School of Law in Eugene. Yes, that makes me both a Husky and a Duck, which is arguably a contradiction in terms. Within those three years of lawschool, I pursued studies and programs that served to develop my skills of persuasion, advocacy, and articulation.. Legal matters always involve a client. Always. Furthermore, the client is always more important than the legal matter. Always. The reverse is never true. Never. I fully communicate with the client and work with the client to get to the optimum outcome. Where's our direction, our perspective, what is logical, practical, how best to persuade the other side? Our firm's clients are almost always businesspersons. I work with them to determine which facts are important and which are not important so that the appropriate strategy can be developed. Hollywood and television are infatuated with the courtroom, the legal process, the detective work, and most of all, the truth. But "the truth" can rarely be agreed upon by all. Rather, the practice of law and my work as a lawyer involves determination of the "proof". Proof that is logical and persuasive.. As a lawyer, my job entails finding a balance between or among conflicting, inconsistent or adversarial positions. Lawyers and judges attempt to fashion this balance. The better lawyers are able to work with their clients and opposing counsel to define and strike this balance. Other lawyers spend time in the courtroom asking the judge to strike a balance that the lawyer was unable to achieve on behalf of his client. Taking matters to trial, though costly and time consuming, is sometimes necessary. A lot of my work entails helping my clients avoid disputes, e.g., with a good contract. When a dispute develops, I always exhaust every imaginable effort to create a workable solution. My role as a lawyer is not to make cases and arguments where they do not exist. Rather, I see my role as narrowing the issues, sorting out what is undisputed from what is disputed, and putting together a legal strategy that is aimed at an efficient, fair, and economical resolution.. My hobbies include soccer, windsurfing, surfing, badmitten, golf, hiking, snowboarding, running, swimming, and pretty much everything else.

Katherine Mason

4738 11th Ave NE , Seattle , Washington 98105
Practice Areas: Long Term Care, Workers Compensation
Hello! Before we go any further, let me first say that I'm sorry you are in the situation where you are looking for legal help. I hope wherever your search takes you, that you find the help you are looking for.. In today's legal profession, most attorneys have a specialty or a small group of specialties -- the days of the "general practitioner" have largely disappeared, not unlike what we all experience when we go to the doctor. My practice is limited to representing workers who have been hurt or become sick due to their work. Representing workers has been my only job since the fall of 2002. Prior to that, I was an Assistant Attorney General representing the Department of Labor & Industries, and for a couple of years, I was in private practice representing hospitals and health care workers.. There are many terms people use to describe the types of cases I help people with: "workers' comp" or "workers' compensation;" "L and I;" "Labor & Industry" are a few examples. If you think you have been injured at work, or become sick due to conditions at work, feel free to reach out to me and we'll see if I can answer any of your questions, point you in the right direction, and/or explore whether it is time for you to consider hiring legal representation. Even if I am not able to represent you, I am happy to try to provide you with resources and referrals that will hopefully be useful to you and/or your loved ones.. If you are curious about my personal background, I was born and raised north of Seattle, and stayed in Washington State until my husband and I moved to Chicago in the mid-1990s so I could go to law school. We came back home after I graduated, and we've been so blessed to live in Seattle since our return in 1999. My husband, an Ellensburg native, and I have two kids who both headed south to the Bay Area for college after being stuck too long in their bedrooms during COVID. One is in San Francisco, the other in Santa Clara/San Jose. Like most families, our kids' passions continue dictate much of how we spend our time. Our daughter is an equestrian in the hunter/jumper disciplines. A couple of years ago, she and I also adopted a rescue mare who we adore and continue to work with to bring her comfort, new skills & jobs, and security. My daughter also loves to help produce live preformances just returned from a semester abroad in Copenhagen. I love to quilt and do other handwork and treasure a nap or two on weekends. My son is a freshman in college, the along with his dad/my husband the travel around the US and Canada racing RC Cars ridiculously fast. He's also taken a shine to baseball in recent years and loves to hear our stories about the 1995 Mariner's playoff run. My husband works in telecommunications and we live with our 2 poodle-mixes in Seattle in a home we purchased from my husband's great-great-aunt who bought the house with her husband new in the 1950s.. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you think I might be able to help.. Take care,KLM

We are an established and collaborative team committed to positive outcomes for clients, through written legal arguments, aggressive discovery demands and compelling defenses with the goal of getting cases dismissed.. ---. Having been a Rule 9 Prosecutor for several municipalities over 12 years ago, and then a public defender, over several years I have built a solid and established reputation and attracted a team of attorneys who each have ample experience in defense on DUI's, criminal traffic cases and other types of criminal charges. We pride ourselves in obtaining the best results possible for clients through collaboration, which is not found with solo attorneys.

Our firm includes attorneys with former Appellate court experience, giving us good knowledge of the fine points of legal arguments. We also have over 100 jury trials under our belts, and because virtually every prosecutor's office in and around King County knows of our reputation as trial attorneys, the vast majority of clients are able to get stellar outcomes.

Callie Getty is a Senior Attorney at Dellino Family Law Group. Callie’s practice focuses on family and domestic relations matters, including divorce, parenting plan and child support issues, as well as post-decree matters such as modifications.. Callie embodies the perfect combination of experience, compassion, and strong advocacy. Prior to joining Dellino Family Law Group, Callie was a partner at another local family law firm. As a Senior Attorney at DLG, there is not a situation she has not seen and cannot tackle. Whether she is advocating for a client in trial for a high conflict case or negotiating a smart settlement in mediation, her clients know she keeps their best interests at the forefront of her strategy. Her compassionate yet no-nonsense approach makes her who you want on your side when what matters most to you is at stake.. My Approach. My interest in family law comes from my upbringing in a large, blended family. This has led to the firm belief that while a divorce or separation may be the hardest time in a person’s life, a strong, compassionate advocate who will be steadfast in their representation can make all the difference. I strive to be that advocate for each and every one of my clients.. Background. As a native Northwesterner, I grew up in the Seattle-area before heading slightly south to the University of Oregon to obtain my undergraduate degree. I returned to Seattle to attend Seattle University School of Law, and graduated in 2015.. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially outdoors. In the winter, I like to spend weekends at Crystal Mountain with my husband and two children (one human child & one 90 lb. doodle). And in the summer, I love soaking up Vitamin D wherever and whenever possible to store for the long NW winters.

Personal. I grew up on the Connecticut coast in a small town called Madison. My mother gave me a lifelong love of mountains and skiing. My father was a lawyer on Wall Street and I followed in his footsteps. In 1984, I moved to Seattle. Three National Parks within a day’s drive felt like paradise to me and still does.. I am lucky to be married to a great person and Ruth and I will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in 2017. We have two grown kids, a son and daughter.. I have a commitment to hunger relief. My involvement with Food Lifeline has informed me on the complexity of poverty and economic insecurity and showed me that people of all political philosophies can come together for common good.. I love to hike and ski, both in the resorts and ski mountaineering. Most of all, I love what I do. Helping people and businesses by practicing law, most recently for 17 years with my business partner Jeff, continues to be the most rewarding and fulfilling thing I do. I’d be honored to help you too.
