Practice Areas: Criminal Defense, Domestic Violence, DUI & DWI, Speeding Ticket, Violent Crime, Expungement
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.

Cassandra Stamm

Firm: Law Offices of Cassandra Stamm PLLC
1000 Second Avenue Suite 2530 , Seattle , Washington 98104
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
A prosecutor handling a case of mine recently justified an extremely favorable settlement offer based on what he called my 'scorched earth' tactics.  I thought that was a bit of an overstatement but perhaps it was not too far off the mark.  In another case, my client (a retired FBI special agent) told me he thought I was really sweet at first but then learned that I was a 'real pitbull' when it came to fighting for him.  Taken together, I think these comments sum up a lot about me and my practice.. I work very hard for my clients.  I examine every angle in each case and when I find the weak points in the prosecution's case, I grab on and refuse to let go.  If you are being forced to defend yourself against a serious criminal charge, having someone like me on your side is an absolute must.  Give me a call and let's see if we can work together.
