Experience the Difference with Criminal Defense Services

Too often, we hear from people who have been misled by out-of-state companies making empty promises or individuals attempting to offer legal services without proper licensing or experience. We want you to know that with Criminal Defense Services, you’ll have a completely different experience. We prioritize clear, consistent communication, with weekly updates available so you're never left in the dark. Our dedicated, professional team is not only licensed by Washington state but also known for delivering polished, court-ready reports accepted by both state and federal courts. With seven years of proven success, an A+ rating with the BBB, and a strong track record of securing meaningful relief for our clients, we are committed to fighting for you every step of the way.

As Washington State’s leading agency for obtaining a variety of relief, we are also proud to be the Founder of the Pro Bono Connection Program, bridging the gap between clients in need and attorneys fulfilling pro bono hours under RPC 6.1. (more info below)

When your future is on the line, don’t settle for anything less than trusted, experienced, and ethical assistance.

Our Mission

At Criminal Defense Services Inc., we are dedicated to promoting fairness and equality within the justice system by conducting Independent Criminal Investigations tailored to uncover the truth in your case. As the only investigative agency in Washington State specializing in intensive investigations, we focus on addressing gaps often found in initial inquiries. Too many convictions result from incomplete investigations, where crucial witnesses were overlooked, video evidence was ignored, or mitigating circumstances were not considered. We aim to give you a voice and a fair opportunity for justice. Our process goes beyond the prosecution’s discovery packet, which is limited to what they choose to include. While we thoroughly analyze discovery materials, they comprise only 40% of our investigative focus. Our priority is uncovering newly discovered evidence—the critical facts that may have been missed, ignored, or excluded, and which could change the outcome of your case. While each case is unique, we firmly believe everyone deserves a thorough, impartial, and comprehensive investigation—regardless of their circumstances.

Our team includes licensed private investigators, vetted by the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL), as well as a forensic investigator who has undergone rigorous approval through the DOL's exam exemption process. This unique combination of skills ensures that every case is handled with professionalism, precision, and integrity. We adhere strictly to state and federal guidelines, ensuring all evidence is properly collected and admissible in court. If you believe your case deserves a meticulous, independent investigation, contact us today to learn how we can help. Together, we can bring clarity, fairness, and balance to your case.
