Kent Criminal Attorneys

To be accused of a crime is one of the most traumatic experiences that a person can have. During this unsettling and complicated time, it is essential to have a criminal defense attorney who you trust on your side to defend you in court and give you the fair trial that you deserve.

At the Law Offices of Kent criminal attorney Jason S. Newcombe, we understand how you’re feeling - and our duty is to help you and your family in any way that we can. We are passionate about representing you fairly in court, and we treat each of our valued clients without judgment and with complete respect.

If you have been arrested or accused of a crime, it is important to speak with a Kent criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. As a person accused of a crime, you are entitled to certain state and federal constitutional rights - including the right to consult with your attorney before answering questions from the police.

The police are sometimes known to take advantage of people who are unaware of their legal rights, and consulting Kent criminal defense attorneys ensures that you will be safe. Many of our clients come to us for legal aid after they have already pleaded guilty or made self-incriminating statements to the police. Some of our clients feel they were pressured by law enforcement into accepting a resolution for their case that they did not feel comfortable with. It is in your best interests to call a Kent criminal lawyer before making any statements to the police.

The repercussions of standing trial for a crime can affect you for the rest of your life. Even if you have only been accused of a misdemeanor crime, having a criminal record can get in the way of your career, your driver’s license, and your ability to acquire a loan.

Our Kent criminal defense lawyers understand your unique legal circumstances, and we’re prepared to help you understand the possible outcomes of your case and how to best handle your situation. Our knowledge of the Washington State legal system helps us build a plan for you, and our experience means that we have already worked many of the judges and prosecutors who will be trying your case. By methodically probing all evidence against you, examining your case, and conferring with the District Attorney’s office, our Kent criminal defense lawyers will do anything we can to help have the charges against you reduced or even dropped.
