Biography

Witt Law Group takes great pride in providing personalized attention and individualized case strategy. Behind every criminal charge is a person who has a story to tell. In many cases, it is a good person who made one bad mistake. That matters. Your story matters. If you read our reviews, you will see that our clients appreciate how well we handle bad situations for good people.

In fact, we have won many awards because our method of taking care of clients and legal issues gets noticed. We're proud to have won Best Attorney in the Best of West Sound award and Best Attorney in Best of Kitsap award. However, what we value most are the many thoughtful reviews from past clients because they help others make the incredibly tough choice about who to hire when they're in legal trouble. We hope you will reach out and see if we are a good fit.

We are here 7 days a week and offer free strategy sessions for those individuals who have legal issues in the areas we practice. 360-792-1000 www.WittLegal.com

If we can't help, we will try to get you in good hands. Don't risk your results on a catchy jingle or ad slogan. Your case isn't "going away" because a lawyer coined a catchy slogan. Particularly with criminal defense, you need a committed and sincere attorney who has mastered their area of law. Don't hire an intern or new attorney if you have a criminal legal issue. There is too much on the line.
