We hired Jesse Corkern on multiple occasions due to false restraining orders against us based on a neighborhood dispute. False restraining orders are apparently the go-to weapon of choice by groups of neighbors who believe their lies will make you sell your home and move. WRONG! Every lie that was told to claim we violated the ill-gotten restraining orders were fiercely defended against by Jesse Corkern. Not guilty on every one of them. We even had an Assistant Seattle City Prosecutor lie to the judge in open court. Search "Mindy Longanecker Deranek" on youtube to hear her lie for yourself. She apparently messed with the wrong defense attorney. In the video you'll also hear Jesse Corkern at work placing the City's case in jeopardy. He did exactly what we hired him for and we could not be more pleased. Our only regret is not calling him prior to the petitions for restraining orders. We foolishly believed our video evidence that disproved the petitioners' claims would be enough to stop the orders from being issued. We won't make that mistake again. Thanks, Mr. Jesse Corkern!

I was facing felony "intent to distribute" drug charges in the city of Seattle. After speaking with several lawyers who all treated me like a drug dealer, which I am not, I found Jesse and his small team down in Pioneer Square the right fit for my needs. From the moment I arrived I was treated like just another person, and not looked down upon for what I was facing. He talked to me about my case straight and the outcomes I could face while not being intimidating or too light on the subject, which I appreciate. I don't like serious topics such as this sugar-coated so finding Jesse was a perfect match. I hired Jesse to defend me criminally and to help get my property that was seized by the police back. While the state decided to never press any charges, he was instrumental in getting my car and money that had been seized by the police some 9 months back, for a token payment of $500. Not a bad outcome for someone who was facing 12-20 months in prison for felony possession and intent to distribute. Jesse was a little hard to get an e-mail response from from time to time, but that is not him, just lawyers in general, every one of them, so don't take it personally. I would hire Jesse and his team should I ever need legal representation again. Jesse is a straight talker who, as a former prosecutor, knows the system, and will walk you every step of the way.

“Having Jesse Corkern and staff represent us was a good choice and the best one! He made us feel comfortable in his presence and all through the legal process. His honesty and caring was above and beyond our expectation. The legal process can be unnerving and draining and it is so important to have strength and confidence in your legal team and for them to instill that in you. We were so grateful to be his clients. He is a good listener, non judgmental follows through and gave us peace of mind. We definitely would recommend him to others and should we need legal services again, retain him as our counsel. Thanks Jesse and Logan!!”

It was terrific from first meeting Jesse and sensing that his firm was willing and well able to argue my case, advocate the ideas, and appeal if requested. Throughout the process I was happy with this representation, and even decided to wear a hat in court based on our U.S. 1st Amendment (and WA including religious sovereignty in the constitution too.) I'm thankful for the outcome, and to Jesse and his amazing team!

I had a criminal charge made against me for 4th degree misdemeanor assault, not the most serious of offences but I nonetheless did not want to be marked out as a criminal for the rest of my life or a good portion of it. The evidence against me was so flimsy as to be almost laughable, and we could hardly believe the prosecutors brought me to trial. Apparently they wanted to give a newly hired deputy prosecutor some experience, and chose me as the lucky one to give it. Never having been in a courtroom before, I really appreciated Jesse Corkern's efforts on my behalf as well as his willingness to "hold my hand" and explain all the various and many nuances of the trial process. The person who accused me has been known in our neighborhood for years as a nasty troublemaker. The prosecution tried to get the judge to suppress any of the long, sordid history of this person's actions against the whole neighborhood for years. Jesse Corkern successfully argued to the judge that this person's unsavory history had to be taken into account in order for a jury to judge whether to believe him or not. Once he succeeded in doing that I started feeling a lot better. He did a great job of cross examining my accuser and showing the jury just what a nasty character he is. He also delivered a superb closing statement that made the prosecution's closing statement look ridiculous by comparison. Lawyers often seem expensive but I think you kinda get what you pay for. Plus they have a lot of overhead expenses so it's not like they get to pocket all their fees. And when you consider the possible consequences, a good lawyer is really almost priceless. I was lucky to find Jesse Corkern listed on the findlaw.com site, since I had no idea where to look or who to call. Hiring him was the right decision, no question about it. Even though the whole process was bothersome and even a little traumatic, I have to say there are few pleasures to compare with hearing the judge read those words: "We the jury find the defendant not guilty." I'm still feeling good about it weeks later. We were fortunate to have a smart, fair judge, and a good jury. But if Jesse Corkern hadn't been there to get the evidence of my accuser's history admitted, and to plead my case effectively, things could have very well gone against me. I would not hesitate for one second to recommend Jesse Corkern to anyone facing criminal charges. I hope I never have to go through anything like that ever again, but if I do, my first and only phone call will be to Jesse Corkern. He really did save my hide.

Jesse was knowledgable, friendly, efficient and professional handling my photo enforced speeding ticket. I would highly recommend him for anyone who find themselves in need of a lawyer. I was in a difficult situation where I had misplaced my original ticket that was mailed to me and only realized I had a commit a driving infraction when I received a post card notice from the city and the fine had already increased. I contacted his office and was treated with respect, kindness, and importance even though my needs were less then serious. Jesse made himself available when I needed to see him or contact him and assured me he would handle my speeding ticke problems as he has a great deal of experience with speeding tickets and the city of Seattle. I grew nervous with the collection date looming, but Jesse assured me this was just a formality with the city using some other lawyer talk I can't remember but it put my nerves at ease. With in a couple weeks he provided a letter from the city informing me that the case had been dismissed and the speeding ticket and fine were a thing of the past. The best possible outcome I could have hoped for. Jesse has very classic looking law office downtown and I especially appreciated that he has a bowl of change on his desk for his clients to pay the meter. The reason I would come back to Jesse (lets hope I don't have to) is that he was friendly and personable, but still professional and down to business when needed. It gave me a great sense of relief to have Mr. Corkern working for me.

Jesse and his staff helped me get a traffic accident (of which I was at fault) dismissed from my record. Jesse was professional and was in constant communication with me throughout the process. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone seeking legal advice and will be sure to call on him in the future if needed.

I came to Jesse feeling hopeless and not knowing what the future would hold. His honesty, knowledge of the law and the criminal court system resulted in dismissal of a case that could have resulted in 60-70 months in prison. Hiring Jesse saved my family and my outlook for the future. I can't thank him enough and recommend him highly.

I admit I was in violation of the law and because of my criminal background I was looking at 7+ years in state prison for Felon in Possession of a firearm. I was sweating bullets, no pun intended, and Jesse Corkern assured me that the law would not allow me to do the time. I was caught redhanded with an AR-15 assualt rifle, an XD-45 semi automatic, and a military bulletproof vest, no dancing around the facts, I was planning my exit out of the country in a very descrete manner. I was really worried about the outcome to police were all lying about how things really went down when they arrested me. The State of Washington wanted to rap me up and ship me out for a long time. The state offered me 3.5 years as a "PLEA BARGIN", deal my a** I was starting to go through a lot of emotions, everything I have worked for is gone if I let the state intimidate me... It felt so good to win and put the state attorney in the loser's box. The feelings of helplessness is the worst and to be steamrolled by the state. I have had other private lawyers in the past and public defenders too, they aren't in my phone. I trust this lawyer and I will only call Jesse. If anyone can make it happen Jesse can. My Freedom is worth my weight in gold! Again Thank you Jesse from me and my family and I have no problem telling my friends, family and strangers.

I had multiple court apperances where he neglected to show up. Most of the time he would call ten minutes prior to the court apperance to say he wouldn't be there. I had much better success with the public defender i was appointed. Jesse wanted me to plea. The public defender tried the case and was found not guilty. Good thing I didn't listen to this joker

I contacted his office and was treated with respect, kindness, and importance even though my needs were less then serious. Jesse made himself available when I needed to see him or contact him and assured me he would handle my speeding ticke problems as he has a great deal of experience with speeding tickets and the city of Seattle. I grew nervous with the collection date looming, but Jesse assured me this was just a formality with the city using some other lawyer talk I can't remember but it put my nerves at ease. With in a couple weeks he provided a letter from the city informing me that the case had been dismissed and the speeding ticket and fine were a thing of the past. The best possible outcome I could have hoped for. Jesse has very classic looking law office downtown and I especially appreciated that he has a bowl of change on his desk for his clients to pay the meter. The reason I would come back to Jesse (lets hope I don't have to) is that he was friendly and personable, but still professional and down to business when needed. It gave me a great sense of relief to have Mr. Corkern working for me.

Jesse and his staff helped me get a traffic accident (of which I was at fault) dismissed from my record. Jesse was professional and was in constant communication with me throughout the process. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone seeking legal advice and will be sure to call on him in the future if needed.

I came to Jesse feeling hopeless and not knowing what the future would hold. His honesty, knowledge of the law and the criminal court system resulted in dismissal of a case that could have resulted in 60-70 months in prison. Hiring Jesse saved my family and my outlook for the future. I can't thank him enough and recommend him highly.

I admit I was in violation of the law and because of my criminal background I was looking at 7+ years in state prison for Felon in Possession of a firearm. I was sweating bullets, no pun intended, and Jesse Corkern assured me that the law would not allow me to do the time. I was caught redhanded with an AR-15 assualt rifle, an XD-45 semi automatic, and a military bulletproof vest, no dancing around the facts, I was planning my exit out of the country in a very descrete manner. I was really worried about the outcome to police were all lying about how things really went down when they arrested me. The State of Washington wanted to rap me up and ship me out for a long time. The state offered me 3.5 years as a "PLEA BARGIN", deal my a** I was starting to go through a lot of emotions, everything I have worked for is gone if I let the state intimidate me... It felt so good to win and put the state attorney in the loser's box. The feelings of helplessness is the worst and to be steamrolled by the state. I have had other private lawyers in the past and public defenders too, they aren't in my phone. I trust this lawyer and I will only call Jesse. If anyone can make it happen Jesse can. My Freedom is worth my weight in gold! Again Thank you Jesse from me and my family and I have no problem telling my friends, family and strangers.

I had multiple court apperances where he neglected to show up. Most of the time he would call ten minutes prior to the court apperance to say he wouldn't be there. I had much better success with the public defender i was appointed. Jesse wanted me to plea. The public defender tried the case and was found not guilty. Good thing I didn't listen to this joker

We hired Jesse Corkern on multiple occasions due to false restraining orders against us based on a neighborhood dispute. False restraining orders are apparently the go-to weapon of choice by groups of neighbors who believe their lies will make you sell your home and move. WRONG! Every lie that was told to claim we violated the ill-gotten restraining orders were fiercely defended against by Jesse Corkern. Not guilty on every one of them. We even had an Assistant Seattle City Prosecutor lie to the judge in open court. Search "Mindy Longanecker Deranek" on youtube to hear her lie for yourself. She apparently messed with the wrong defense attorney. In the video you'll also hear Jesse Corkern at work placing the City's case in jeopardy. He did exactly what we hired him for and we could not be more pleased. Our only regret is not calling him prior to the petitions for restraining orders. We foolishly believed our video evidence that disproved the petitioners' claims would be enough to stop the orders from being issued. We won't make that mistake again. Thanks, Mr. Jesse Corkern!

I was facing felony "intent to distribute" drug charges in the city of Seattle. After speaking with several lawyers who all treated me like a drug dealer, which I am not, I found Jesse and his small team down in Pioneer Square the right fit for my needs. From the moment I arrived I was treated like just another person, and not looked down upon for what I was facing. He talked to me about my case straight and the outcomes I could face while not being intimidating or too light on the subject, which I appreciate. I don't like serious topics such as this sugar-coated so finding Jesse was a perfect match. I hired Jesse to defend me criminally and to help get my property that was seized by the police back. While the state decided to never press any charges, he was instrumental in getting my car and money that had been seized by the police some 9 months back, for a token payment of $500. Not a bad outcome for someone who was facing 12-20 months in prison for felony possession and intent to distribute. Jesse was a little hard to get an e-mail response from from time to time, but that is not him, just lawyers in general, every one of them, so don't take it personally. I would hire Jesse and his team should I ever need legal representation again. Jesse is a straight talker who, as a former prosecutor, knows the system, and will walk you every step of the way.

“Having Jesse Corkern and staff represent us was a good choice and the best one! He made us feel comfortable in his presence and all through the legal process. His honesty and caring was above and beyond our expectation. The legal process can be unnerving and draining and it is so important to have strength and confidence in your legal team and for them to instill that in you. We were so grateful to be his clients. He is a good listener, non judgmental follows through and gave us peace of mind. We definitely would recommend him to others and should we need legal services again, retain him as our counsel. Thanks Jesse and Logan!!”

It was terrific from first meeting Jesse and sensing that his firm was willing and well able to argue my case, advocate the ideas, and appeal if requested. Throughout the process I was happy with this representation, and even decided to wear a hat in court based on our U.S. 1st Amendment (and WA including religious sovereignty in the constitution too.) I'm thankful for the outcome, and to Jesse and his amazing team!

I had a criminal charge made against me for 4th degree misdemeanor assault, not the most serious of offences but I nonetheless did not want to be marked out as a criminal for the rest of my life or a good portion of it. The evidence against me was so flimsy as to be almost laughable, and we could hardly believe the prosecutors brought me to trial. Apparently they wanted to give a newly hired deputy prosecutor some experience, and chose me as the lucky one to give it. Never having been in a courtroom before, I really appreciated Jesse Corkern's efforts on my behalf as well as his willingness to "hold my hand" and explain all the various and many nuances of the trial process. The person who accused me has been known in our neighborhood for years as a nasty troublemaker. The prosecution tried to get the judge to suppress any of the long, sordid history of this person's actions against the whole neighborhood for years. Jesse Corkern successfully argued to the judge that this person's unsavory history had to be taken into account in order for a jury to judge whether to believe him or not. Once he succeeded in doing that I started feeling a lot better. He did a great job of cross examining my accuser and showing the jury just what a nasty character he is. He also delivered a superb closing statement that made the prosecution's closing statement look ridiculous by comparison. Lawyers often seem expensive but I think you kinda get what you pay for. Plus they have a lot of overhead expenses so it's not like they get to pocket all their fees. And when you consider the possible consequences, a good lawyer is really almost priceless. I was lucky to find Jesse Corkern listed on the findlaw.com site, since I had no idea where to look or who to call. Hiring him was the right decision, no question about it. Even though the whole process was bothersome and even a little traumatic, I have to say there are few pleasures to compare with hearing the judge read those words: "We the jury find the defendant not guilty." I'm still feeling good about it weeks later. We were fortunate to have a smart, fair judge, and a good jury. But if Jesse Corkern hadn't been there to get the evidence of my accuser's history admitted, and to plead my case effectively, things could have very well gone against me. I would not hesitate for one second to recommend Jesse Corkern to anyone facing criminal charges. I hope I never have to go through anything like that ever again, but if I do, my first and only phone call will be to Jesse Corkern. He really did save my hide.

Jesse was knowledgable, friendly, efficient and professional handling my photo enforced speeding ticket. I would highly recommend him for anyone who find themselves in need of a lawyer. I was in a difficult situation where I had misplaced my original ticket that was mailed to me and only realized I had a commit a driving infraction when I received a post card notice from the city and the fine had already increased.

“Having Jesse Corkern and staff represent us was a good choice and the best one! He made us feel comfortable in his presence and all through the legal process. His honesty and caring was above and beyond our expectation. The legal process can be unnerving and draining and it is so important to have strength and confidence in your legal team and for them to instill that in you. We were so grateful to be his clients. He is a good listener, non judgmental follows through and gave us peace of mind. We definitely would recommend him to others and should we need legal services again, retain him as our counsel. Thanks Jesse and Logan!!”

It was terrific from first meeting Jesse and sensing that his firm was willing and well able to argue my case, advocate the ideas, and appeal if requested. Throughout the process I was happy with this representation, and even decided to wear a hat in court based on our U.S. 1st Amendment (and WA including religious sovereignty in the constitution too.) I'm thankful for the outcome, and to Jesse and his amazing team!

I had a criminal charge made against me for 4th degree misdemeanor assault, not the most serious of offences but I nonetheless did not want to be marked out as a criminal for the rest of my life or a good portion of it. The evidence against me was so flimsy as to be almost laughable, and we could hardly believe the prosecutors brought me to trial. Apparently they wanted to give a newly hired deputy prosecutor some experience, and chose me as the lucky one to give it. Never having been in a courtroom before, I really appreciated Jesse Corkern's efforts on my behalf as well as his willingness to "hold my hand" and explain all the various and many nuances of the trial process. The person who accused me has been known in our neighborhood for years as a nasty troublemaker. The prosecution tried to get the judge to suppress any of the long, sordid history of this person's actions against the whole neighborhood for years. Jesse Corkern successfully argued to the judge that this person's unsavory history had to be taken into account in order for a jury to judge whether to believe him or not. Once he succeeded in doing that I started feeling a lot better. He did a great job of cross examining my accuser and showing the jury just what a nasty character he is. He also delivered a superb closing statement that made the prosecution's closing statement look ridiculous by comparison. Lawyers often seem expensive but I think you kinda get what you pay for. Plus they have a lot of overhead expenses so it's not like they get to pocket all their fees. And when you consider the possible consequences, a good lawyer is really almost priceless. I was lucky to find Jesse Corkern listed on the findlaw.com site, since I had no idea where to look or who to call. Hiring him was the right decision, no question about it. Even though the whole process was bothersome and even a little traumatic, I have to say there are few pleasures to compare with hearing the judge read those words: "We the jury find the defendant not guilty." I'm still feeling good about it weeks later. We were fortunate to have a smart, fair judge, and a good jury. But if Jesse Corkern hadn't been there to get the evidence of my accuser's history admitted, and to plead my case effectively, things could have very well gone against me. I would not hesitate for one second to recommend Jesse Corkern to anyone facing criminal charges. I hope I never have to go through anything like that ever again, but if I do, my first and only phone call will be to Jesse Corkern. He really did save my hide.

Jesse was knowledgable, friendly, efficient and professional handling my photo enforced speeding ticket. I would highly recommend him for anyone who find themselves in need of a lawyer. I was in a difficult situation where I had misplaced my original ticket that was mailed to me and only realized I had a commit a driving infraction when I received a post card notice from the city and the fine had already increased. I contacted his office and was treated with respect, kindness, and importance even though my needs were less then serious. Jesse made himself available when I needed to see him or contact him and assured me he would handle my speeding ticke problems as he has a great deal of experience with speeding tickets and the city of Seattle. I grew nervous with the collection date looming, but Jesse assured me this was just a formality with the city using some other lawyer talk I can't remember but it put my nerves at ease. With in a couple weeks he provided a letter from the city informing me that the case had been dismissed and the speeding ticket and fine were a thing of the past. The best possible outcome I could have hoped for. Jesse has very classic looking law office downtown and I especially appreciated that he has a bowl of change on his desk for his clients to pay the meter. The reason I would come back to Jesse (lets hope I don't have to) is that he was friendly and personable, but still professional and down to business when needed. It gave me a great sense of relief to have Mr. Corkern working for me.

Jesse and his staff helped me get a traffic accident (of which I was at fault) dismissed from my record. Jesse was professional and was in constant communication with me throughout the process. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone seeking legal advice and will be sure to call on him in the future if needed.

I came to Jesse feeling hopeless and not knowing what the future would hold. His honesty, knowledge of the law and the criminal court system resulted in dismissal of a case that could have resulted in 60-70 months in prison. Hiring Jesse saved my family and my outlook for the future. I can't thank him enough and recommend him highly.

I admit I was in violation of the law and because of my criminal background I was looking at 7+ years in state prison for Felon in Possession of a firearm. I was sweating bullets, no pun intended, and Jesse Corkern assured me that the law would not allow me to do the time. I was caught redhanded with an AR-15 assualt rifle, an XD-45 semi automatic, and a military bulletproof vest, no dancing around the facts, I was planning my exit out of the country in a very descrete manner. I was really worried about the outcome to police were all lying about how things really went down when they arrested me. The State of Washington wanted to rap me up and ship me out for a long time. The state offered me 3.5 years as a "PLEA BARGIN", deal my a** I was starting to go through a lot of emotions, everything I have worked for is gone if I let the state intimidate me... It felt so good to win and put the state attorney in the loser's box. The feelings of helplessness is the worst and to be steamrolled by the state. I have had other private lawyers in the past and public defenders too, they aren't in my phone. I trust this lawyer and I will only call Jesse. If anyone can make it happen Jesse can. My Freedom is worth my weight in gold! Again Thank you Jesse from me and my family and I have no problem telling my friends, family and strangers.

I had multiple court apperances where he neglected to show up. Most of the time he would call ten minutes prior to the court apperance to say he wouldn't be there. I had much better success with the public defender i was appointed. Jesse wanted me to plea. The public defender tried the case and was found not guilty. Good thing I didn't listen to this joker

We hired Jesse Corkern on multiple occasions due to false restraining orders against us based on a neighborhood dispute. False restraining orders are apparently the go-to weapon of choice by groups of neighbors who believe their lies will make you sell your home and move. WRONG! Every lie that was told to claim we violated the ill-gotten restraining orders were fiercely defended against by Jesse Corkern. Not guilty on every one of them. We even had an Assistant Seattle City Prosecutor lie to the judge in open court. Search "Mindy Longanecker Deranek" on youtube to hear her lie for yourself. She apparently messed with the wrong defense attorney. In the video you'll also hear Jesse Corkern at work placing the City's case in jeopardy. He did exactly what we hired him for and we could not be more pleased. Our only regret is not calling him prior to the petitions for restraining orders. We foolishly believed our video evidence that disproved the petitioners' claims would be enough to stop the orders from being issued. We won't make that mistake again. Thanks, Mr. Jesse Corkern!

I was facing felony "intent to distribute" drug charges in the city of Seattle. After speaking with several lawyers who all treated me like a drug dealer, which I am not, I found Jesse and his small team down in Pioneer Square the right fit for my needs. From the moment I arrived I was treated like just another person, and not looked down upon for what I was facing. He talked to me about my case straight and the outcomes I could face while not being intimidating or too light on the subject, which I appreciate. I don't like serious topics such as this sugar-coated so finding Jesse was a perfect match. I hired Jesse to defend me criminally and to help get my property that was seized by the police back. While the state decided to never press any charges, he was instrumental in getting my car and money that had been seized by the police some 9 months back, for a token payment of $500. Not a bad outcome for someone who was facing 12-20 months in prison for felony possession and intent to distribute. Jesse was a little hard to get an e-mail response from from time to time, but that is not him, just lawyers in general, every one of them, so don't take it personally. I would hire Jesse and his team should I ever need legal representation again. Jesse is a straight talker who, as a former prosecutor, knows the system, and will walk you every step of the way.

I was caught redhanded with an AR-15 assualt rifle, an XD-45 semi automatic, and a military bulletproof vest, no dancing around the facts, I was planning my exit out of the country in a very descrete manner. I was really worried about the outcome to police were all lying about how things really went down when they arrested me. The State of Washington wanted to rap me up and ship me out for a long time. The state offered me 3.5 years as a "PLEA BARGIN", deal my a** I was starting to go through a lot of emotions, everything I have worked for is gone if I let the state intimidate me... It felt so good to win and put the state attorney in the loser's box. The feelings of helplessness is the worst and to be steamrolled by the state. I have had other private lawyers in the past and public defenders too, they aren't in my phone. I trust this lawyer and I will only call Jesse. If anyone can make it happen Jesse can. My Freedom is worth my weight in gold! Again Thank you Jesse from me and my family and I have no problem telling my friends, family and strangers.

I had multiple court apperances where he neglected to show up. Most of the time he would call ten minutes prior to the court apperance to say he wouldn't be there. I had much better success with the public defender i was appointed. Jesse wanted me to plea. The public defender tried the case and was found not guilty. Good thing I didn't listen to this joker

We hired Jesse Corkern on multiple occasions due to false restraining orders against us based on a neighborhood dispute. False restraining orders are apparently the go-to weapon of choice by groups of neighbors who believe their lies will make you sell your home and move. WRONG! Every lie that was told to claim we violated the ill-gotten restraining orders were fiercely defended against by Jesse Corkern. Not guilty on every one of them. We even had an Assistant Seattle City Prosecutor lie to the judge in open court. Search "Mindy Longanecker Deranek" on youtube to hear her lie for yourself. She apparently messed with the wrong defense attorney. In the video you'll also hear Jesse Corkern at work placing the City's case in jeopardy. He did exactly what we hired him for and we could not be more pleased. Our only regret is not calling him prior to the petitions for restraining orders. We foolishly believed our video evidence that disproved the petitioners' claims would be enough to stop the orders from being issued. We won't make that mistake again. Thanks, Mr. Jesse Corkern!

I was facing felony "intent to distribute" drug charges in the city of Seattle. After speaking with several lawyers who all treated me like a drug dealer, which I am not, I found Jesse and his small team down in Pioneer Square the right fit for my needs. From the moment I arrived I was treated like just another person, and not looked down upon for what I was facing. He talked to me about my case straight and the outcomes I could face while not being intimidating or too light on the subject, which I appreciate. I don't like serious topics such as this sugar-coated so finding Jesse was a perfect match. I hired Jesse to defend me criminally and to help get my property that was seized by the police back. While the state decided to never press any charges, he was instrumental in getting my car and money that had been seized by the police some 9 months back, for a token payment of $500. Not a bad outcome for someone who was facing 12-20 months in prison for felony possession and intent to distribute. Jesse was a little hard to get an e-mail response from from time to time, but that is not him, just lawyers in general, every one of them, so don't take it personally. I would hire Jesse and his team should I ever need legal representation again. Jesse is a straight talker who, as a former prosecutor, knows the system, and will walk you every step of the way.

“Having Jesse Corkern and staff represent us was a good choice and the best one! He made us feel comfortable in his presence and all through the legal process. His honesty and caring was above and beyond our expectation. The legal process can be unnerving and draining and it is so important to have strength and confidence in your legal team and for them to instill that in you. We were so grateful to be his clients. He is a good listener, non judgmental follows through and gave us peace of mind. We definitely would recommend him to others and should we need legal services again, retain him as our counsel. Thanks Jesse and Logan!!”

It was terrific from first meeting Jesse and sensing that his firm was willing and well able to argue my case, advocate the ideas, and appeal if requested. Throughout the process I was happy with this representation, and even decided to wear a hat in court based on our U.S. 1st Amendment (and WA including religious sovereignty in the constitution too.) I'm thankful for the outcome, and to Jesse and his amazing team!

I had a criminal charge made against me for 4th degree misdemeanor assault, not the most serious of offences but I nonetheless did not want to be marked out as a criminal for the rest of my life or a good portion of it. The evidence against me was so flimsy as to be almost laughable, and we could hardly believe the prosecutors brought me to trial. Apparently they wanted to give a newly hired deputy prosecutor some experience, and chose me as the lucky one to give it. Never having been in a courtroom before, I really appreciated Jesse Corkern's efforts on my behalf as well as his willingness to "hold my hand" and explain all the various and many nuances of the trial process. The person who accused me has been known in our neighborhood for years as a nasty troublemaker. The prosecution tried to get the judge to suppress any of the long, sordid history of this person's actions against the whole neighborhood for years. Jesse Corkern successfully argued to the judge that this person's unsavory history had to be taken into account in order for a jury to judge whether to believe him or not. Once he succeeded in doing that I started feeling a lot better. He did a great job of cross examining my accuser and showing the jury just what a nasty character he is. He also delivered a superb closing statement that made the prosecution's closing statement look ridiculous by comparison. Lawyers often seem expensive but I think you kinda get what you pay for. Plus they have a lot of overhead expenses so it's not like they get to pocket all their fees. And when you consider the possible consequences, a good lawyer is really almost priceless. I was lucky to find Jesse Corkern listed on the findlaw.com site, since I had no idea where to look or who to call. Hiring him was the right decision, no question about it. Even though the whole process was bothersome and even a little traumatic, I have to say there are few pleasures to compare with hearing the judge read those words: "We the jury find the defendant not guilty." I'm still feeling good about it weeks later. We were fortunate to have a smart, fair judge, and a good jury. But if Jesse Corkern hadn't been there to get the evidence of my accuser's history admitted, and to plead my case effectively, things could have very well gone against me. I would not hesitate for one second to recommend Jesse Corkern to anyone facing criminal charges. I hope I never have to go through anything like that ever again, but if I do, my first and only phone call will be to Jesse Corkern. He really did save my hide.

Jesse was knowledgable, friendly, efficient and professional handling my photo enforced speeding ticket. I would highly recommend him for anyone who find themselves in need of a lawyer. I was in a difficult situation where I had misplaced my original ticket that was mailed to me and only realized I had a commit a driving infraction when I received a post card notice from the city and the fine had already increased. I contacted his office and was treated with respect, kindness, and importance even though my needs were less then serious. Jesse made himself available when I needed to see him or contact him and assured me he would handle my speeding ticke problems as he has a great deal of experience with speeding tickets and the city of Seattle. I grew nervous with the collection date looming, but Jesse assured me this was just a formality with the city using some other lawyer talk I can't remember but it put my nerves at ease. With in a couple weeks he provided a letter from the city informing me that the case had been dismissed and the speeding ticket and fine were a thing of the past. The best possible outcome I could have hoped for. Jesse has very classic looking law office downtown and I especially appreciated that he has a bowl of change on his desk for his clients to pay the meter. The reason I would come back to Jesse (lets hope I don't have to) is that he was friendly and personable, but still professional and down to business when needed. It gave me a great sense of relief to have Mr. Corkern working for me.

Jesse and his staff helped me get a traffic accident (of which I was at fault) dismissed from my record. Jesse was professional and was in constant communication with me throughout the process. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone seeking legal advice and will be sure to call on him in the future if needed.

I came to Jesse feeling hopeless and not knowing what the future would hold. His honesty, knowledge of the law and the criminal court system resulted in dismissal of a case that could have resulted in 60-70 months in prison. Hiring Jesse saved my family and my outlook for the future. I can't thank him enough and recommend him highly.

I admit I was in violation of the law and because of my criminal background I was looking at 7+ years in state prison for Felon in Possession of a firearm.

Once he succeeded in doing that I started feeling a lot better. He did a great job of cross examining my accuser and showing the jury just what a nasty character he is. He also delivered a superb closing statement that made the prosecution's closing statement look ridiculous by comparison. Lawyers often seem expensive but I think you kinda get what you pay for. Plus they have a lot of overhead expenses so it's not like they get to pocket all their fees. And when you consider the possible consequences, a good lawyer is really almost priceless. I was lucky to find Jesse Corkern listed on the findlaw.com site, since I had no idea where to look or who to call. Hiring him was the right decision, no question about it. Even though the whole process was bothersome and even a little traumatic, I have to say there are few pleasures to compare with hearing the judge read those words: "We the jury find the defendant not guilty." I'm still feeling good about it weeks later. We were fortunate to have a smart, fair judge, and a good jury. But if Jesse Corkern hadn't been there to get the evidence of my accuser's history admitted, and to plead my case effectively, things could have very well gone against me. I would not hesitate for one second to recommend Jesse Corkern to anyone facing criminal charges. I hope I never have to go through anything like that ever again, but if I do, my first and only phone call will be to Jesse Corkern. He really did save my hide.

Jesse was knowledgable, friendly, efficient and professional handling my photo enforced speeding ticket. I would highly recommend him for anyone who find themselves in need of a lawyer. I was in a difficult situation where I had misplaced my original ticket that was mailed to me and only realized I had a commit a driving infraction when I received a post card notice from the city and the fine had already increased. I contacted his office and was treated with respect, kindness, and importance even though my needs were less then serious. Jesse made himself available when I needed to see him or contact him and assured me he would handle my speeding ticke problems as he has a great deal of experience with speeding tickets and the city of Seattle. I grew nervous with the collection date looming, but Jesse assured me this was just a formality with the city using some other lawyer talk I can't remember but it put my nerves at ease. With in a couple weeks he provided a letter from the city informing me that the case had been dismissed and the speeding ticket and fine were a thing of the past. The best possible outcome I could have hoped for. Jesse has very classic looking law office downtown and I especially appreciated that he has a bowl of change on his desk for his clients to pay the meter. The reason I would come back to Jesse (lets hope I don't have to) is that he was friendly and personable, but still professional and down to business when needed. It gave me a great sense of relief to have Mr. Corkern working for me.

Jesse and his staff helped me get a traffic accident (of which I was at fault) dismissed from my record. Jesse was professional and was in constant communication with me throughout the process. I would highly recommend Jesse to anyone seeking legal advice and will be sure to call on him in the future if needed.

I came to Jesse feeling hopeless and not knowing what the future would hold. His honesty, knowledge of the law and the criminal court system resulted in dismissal of a case that could have resulted in 60-70 months in prison. Hiring Jesse saved my family and my outlook for the future. I can't thank him enough and recommend him highly.

I admit I was in violation of the law and because of my criminal background I was looking at 7+ years in state prison for Felon in Possession of a firearm. I was sweating bullets, no pun intended, and Jesse Corkern assured me that the law would not allow me to do the time. I was caught redhanded with an AR-15 assualt rifle, an XD-45 semi automatic, and a military bulletproof vest, no dancing around the facts, I was planning my exit out of the country in a very descrete manner. I was really worried about the outcome to police were all lying about how things really went down when they arrested me. The State of Washington wanted to rap me up and ship me out for a long time. The state offered me 3.5 years as a "PLEA BARGIN", deal my a** I was starting to go through a lot of emotions, everything I have worked for is gone if I let the state intimidate me... It felt so good to win and put the state attorney in the loser's box. The feelings of helplessness is the worst and to be steamrolled by the state. I have had other private lawyers in the past and public defenders too, they aren't in my phone. I trust this lawyer and I will only call Jesse. If anyone can make it happen Jesse can. My Freedom is worth my weight in gold! Again Thank you Jesse from me and my family and I have no problem telling my friends, family and strangers.

I had multiple court apperances where he neglected to show up. Most of the time he would call ten minutes prior to the court apperance to say he wouldn't be there. I had much better success with the public defender i was appointed. Jesse wanted me to plea. The public defender tried the case and was found not guilty. Good thing I didn't listen to this joker

We hired Jesse Corkern on multiple occasions due to false restraining orders against us based on a neighborhood dispute. False restraining orders are apparently the go-to weapon of choice by groups of neighbors who believe their lies will make you sell your home and move. WRONG! Every lie that was told to claim we violated the ill-gotten restraining orders were fiercely defended against by Jesse Corkern. Not guilty on every one of them. We even had an Assistant Seattle City Prosecutor lie to the judge in open court. Search "Mindy Longanecker Deranek" on youtube to hear her lie for yourself. She apparently messed with the wrong defense attorney. In the video you'll also hear Jesse Corkern at work placing the City's case in jeopardy. He did exactly what we hired him for and we could not be more pleased. Our only regret is not calling him prior to the petitions for restraining orders. We foolishly believed our video evidence that disproved the petitioners' claims would be enough to stop the orders from being issued. We won't make that mistake again. Thanks, Mr. Jesse Corkern!

I was facing felony "intent to distribute" drug charges in the city of Seattle. After speaking with several lawyers who all treated me like a drug dealer, which I am not, I found Jesse and his small team down in Pioneer Square the right fit for my needs. From the moment I arrived I was treated like just another person, and not looked down upon for what I was facing. He talked to me about my case straight and the outcomes I could face while not being intimidating or too light on the subject, which I appreciate. I don't like serious topics such as this sugar-coated so finding Jesse was a perfect match. I hired Jesse to defend me criminally and to help get my property that was seized by the police back. While the state decided to never press any charges, he was instrumental in getting my car and money that had been seized by the police some 9 months back, for a token payment of $500. Not a bad outcome for someone who was facing 12-20 months in prison for felony possession and intent to distribute. Jesse was a little hard to get an e-mail response from from time to time, but that is not him, just lawyers in general, every one of them, so don't take it personally. I would hire Jesse and his team should I ever need legal representation again. Jesse is a straight talker who, as a former prosecutor, knows the system, and will walk you every step of the way.

“Having Jesse Corkern and staff represent us was a good choice and the best one! He made us feel comfortable in his presence and all through the legal process. His honesty and caring was above and beyond our expectation. The legal process can be unnerving and draining and it is so important to have strength and confidence in your legal team and for them to instill that in you. We were so grateful to be his clients. He is a good listener, non judgmental follows through and gave us peace of mind. We definitely would recommend him to others and should we need legal services again, retain him as our counsel. Thanks Jesse and Logan!!”

It was terrific from first meeting Jesse and sensing that his firm was willing and well able to argue my case, advocate the ideas, and appeal if requested. Throughout the process I was happy with this representation, and even decided to wear a hat in court based on our U.S. 1st Amendment (and WA including religious sovereignty in the constitution too.) I'm thankful for the outcome, and to Jesse and his amazing team!

I had a criminal charge made against me for 4th degree misdemeanor assault, not the most serious of offences but I nonetheless did not want to be marked out as a criminal for the rest of my life or a good portion of it. The evidence against me was so flimsy as to be almost laughable, and we could hardly believe the prosecutors brought me to trial. Apparently they wanted to give a newly hired deputy prosecutor some experience, and chose me as the lucky one to give it. Never having been in a courtroom before, I really appreciated Jesse Corkern's efforts on my behalf as well as his willingness to "hold my hand" and explain all the various and many nuances of the trial process. The person who accused me has been known in our neighborhood for years as a nasty troublemaker. The prosecution tried to get the judge to suppress any of the long, sordid history of this person's actions against the whole neighborhood for years. Jesse Corkern successfully argued to the judge that this person's unsavory history had to be taken into account in order for a jury to judge whether to believe him or not. Once he succeeded in doing that I started feeling a lot better. He did a great job of cross examining my accuser and showing the jury just what a nasty character he is.
