In Washington state, as you may have already learned, authorities are tough on crime. The consequences of a criminal charge are enormous, threatening your liberty, your employment, the custody of your children and your future. Perhaps you have suffered a search of your house or been placed in jail and then bailed out. Perhaps a no contact order is preventing you from entering your home.

But do not despair. At the law offices of Kevin Trombold, we will stand by your side and navigate the legal system to put the pieces of your life back together. We have over 20 years of experience handling criminal cases in Washington. The first step is to call us for a free consultation. We want to hear from you. If you choose to meet with us, we will sit down at no cost to you and explain the system you are facing.

There is no substitute for meeting with an attorney to review your options. Suddenly trying to teach yourself criminal law and procedure during the emotionally upset days after an arrest or while your loved one is in jail will not give you the knowledge to know how the case should be handled. Only a trained and seasoned lawyer can do that. But having said that, we take pride in educating our clients as much as possible. Time after time, the better informed clients make better decisions at critical junctures in their matters. Before we describe the process of the different courts below let us say a word or two about the strange experience of choosing an attorney.
