From the onset of my case Mr. Thompson remained vigilant in his representation of me. He often encouraged me and explained details of strategy he would utilize. His representation was, personal, to the point, and invaluable. Flawless. I am forever in his debt.

I hired Brent for my case and he did a great job. This was my first time experiencing the legal system and Brent explained the process very well, he also made sure to keep me updated with all progress made.

Mr. Thompson represented me in a DUI charge, he was very professional and extremely helpful. Even after my hearing he still assisted me and called to make sure I made all state requirements, I whole heartedly recommend his services to anyone charged for DUI.

He is very detailed with the information on ones case, he spends time to explain the charges and the consequences. He makes no guarantees which may come along as uncomfortable. Then again, no part of breaking the law or innocently catching a case becomes comfortable. He did an awesome job. I am happyfor the results and outcomes of my case/cases .

Brent Thompson provided me strong and skillful legal representation that exceeded my expectations. After interviewing several attorneys by phone, selecting Brent Thompson to represent me in an effort to vacate an old criminal conviction was an obvious decision. I felt that Brent asked me all of the right questions to give him a solid understanding of my legal situation, and he then explained in very plain language where I stood legally with regard to current law and precedents before laying out his legal strategy and setting realistic expectations regarding time, expense and results. I found Brent to be a high level communicator, especially considering that he was working on my behalf during COVID when there have been long delays in the court systems. At no time did I feel that I was in the dark about the status of my case. Leaning on Washington State precedent, Brent prepared a case that was concise, strategic and powerful; and ultimately led to a successful outcome. I highly recommend Brent Thompson for anyone in Washington State who is searching for an attorney who is extremely skilled, highly communicative, and most important - a fighter for his client.

Brent was very clear, concise, compassionate and aggressive. I'm glad I chose him to represent me. My case was dismissed and all charges were cleared.

What’s better then hearing your case has been dismissed? For me, in the very moment nothing seemed better. I’d like to thank Brent for his hard work and dedication. He’s no bluff, so he won’t tell you things just because you want to hear it. However, I trust he will do everything he can to help you and your case. Very smart man, and answers emails same day and I had many emails with questions. Don’t think twice.

Brent is an amazing attorney and a great person.. I got myself into some very serious trouble from drinking too much.. Needed help right away and guess who answered his phone and got to me right away ??? Brent... He set up a plan, and explained it and how he would handle the case. 9 months later after getting through some very tough situations he has my cases dismissed without prejudice and my life is back on track.. I highly recommend Brent and I appreciate him very very much !!!!
