Federal Way Criminal Defense Attorney

At Beckwith Law, we are well-respected criminal lawyers in the Federal Way area, including Edgewood, Milton, and Fife. Our experience negotiating favorable outcomes with local prosecutors can work to your advantage.

We know the local courts and we know how to negotiate the best possible deal for a misdemeanor or felony offense. A trial may not be the best option for every case, but we are prepared and ready to go to trial if necessary.

• DUI
• Domestic Violence
• Assault
• Juvenile Defense
• Theft or Shoplifting

If you were arrested by a Federal Way police officer, charges would likely be filed in the Federal Way Municipal Court and heard in front of Judge Robertson or Judge Larson. If you were arrested by a King County sheriff or Washington State trooper, the case would most likely be charged in the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent. You may be able to look up your court date at Washington Courts.

Being charged with a crime such as DUI, Domestic Violence, or Assault should not be taken lightly. In addition to jail and fines, civil consequences can result in the denial of housing or employment.

If you are charged with a criminal traffic offense such as DUI, your driver's license could be suspended for over a year. A domestic violence arrest can result in a No Contact Order and loss of gun rights.

If you are being investigated for a crime or have already been charged, it is important to avoid making statements to law enforcement, witnesses, or an alleged victim. It is a good idea to speak with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights and help prevent unpleasant surprises.

At Beckwith Law, we conduct our own investigations and keep our clients up to date with developments in the case. We are tough when negotiating with prosecutors and cross-examining witnesses or law enforcement. 

However, we are compassionate and understanding of the circumstances of our clients. We are criminal attorneys, but more importantly, we are advocates for our clients in communities that include Federal Way, Fife, Edgewood, & Milton, WA. 

We offer a free phone consultation to answer your questions and provide potential scenarios for your pending criminal or DUI case.
