Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
Criminal Law directly impacts immigration related issues and for that reason it is crucial to have an attorney who will investigate all possible immigration consequences that a person may face. A criminal conviction can lead to deportation, denial of naturalization, or denial of admission to the United States.
DUI/DWI
As a general rule, if you are convicted of a DUI related offense, even if the charge is reduced to a lesser offense, the court will require that you attend a DUI Victim’s Panel. Your lawyer may even encourage you to attend this Panel even prior to the resolution of your case. Victim Impact Panels are held throughout the state of Washington. Panel speakers are people whose lives have been tragically affected by a DUI related offense. The Panels are generally two to three hours long, and typically consist of three to four speakers who discuss their personal experiences.
Traffic Violations
In March 2013, Seth Chastain represented A.K. at a jury trial on one count of Driving Under the Influence and one count of Reckless Driving in Municipal Court. The witnesses for the prosecution included the arresting officer and a tow truck driver. The breath alcohol level was.01. The defense called the defendant and an additional witness. Seth was able to raise significant doubts as to the accuracy of the arresting officer's sworn testimony that A.K. was driving the vehicle. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty on each charge.
Sex Crimes
In February 2010, Scott Stewart represented D.S. at a jury trial in Superior Court on charges of Attempted Rape and Assault with a Deadly Weapon. The prosecution alleged that the defendant had attempted to rape his girlfriend and that, when he was prevented from doing so by her mother, he broke a drinking glass, creating a "shank" which he then used to stab her mother. Witnesses for the prosecution included three King County Deputy Sheriffs, an Emergency Medical Technician and the alleged victim. The prosecution also introduced photographs of the crime scene and injuries, as well as the broken glass, a 911 recording and the defendant's torn shirt. The only witness for the defense was the defendant himself. The jury returned verdicts of Not Guilty on both the Attempted Rape and Assault with a Deadly Weapon charges, as well as the lesser included charge of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
Robbery
In August 2007, Andrea Beall represented E.M.at a jury trial on a charge of Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer in Municipal Court. The incident occurred at a Transit Station in Pierce County.

In December 2010, Kristin Fay represented C.B. at a jury trial on one count of Making and Possessing Burglary Tools in cause number 10L1108.

Misdemeanors
M.W. was convicted following a jury trial of a felony Violation of a No Contact Order and Assault 4 Domestic Violence.
