We desire to bring equity and justice to everyone while ensuring vigorous and compassionate representation in your criminal defense case whether the charge involves drugs possession or sales, firearm possession, domestic violence, sexual assault, or DUI.  In addition to criminal defense, we represent clients who are victims of unconstitutional seizures of cash by U.S. Customs or Seattle Port Authority. Our attorneys can also assist you in your personal injury matter. Our skilled attorneys are located in Tukwila, Washington, which serves as the mid-point between Seattle and Tacoma. We also serve clients in Renton, Burien, Kent, Auburn, and Federal Way.  

The Curtis Firm is wholly dedicated to helping clients and we are available to answer questions such as "What is the cost of a criminal defense lawyer?" "Factors to consider when hiring a criminal defense lawyer?" "Whether a criminal defense attorney can get my charges dismissed?" "Is your criminal defense firm located near me?" "Does your criminal defense firm allow payment plans?" "Does your office take a personal injury case with no money down?
