Experienced Misdemeanor Criminal Defense Attorney in Pierce County

Since 1998, I have worked in Pierce County and surrounding areas as a criminal defense attorney. With a practical approach, I have successfully represented clients with a variety of misdemeanor offenses.

Some firms pass much of the work on their cases to paralegals and legal secretaries. But at The Law Office of Andrew J. Makar, P.S., success is defined by client relationships. As your lawyer, I will work with you from the beginning of your case and will ensure you receive experienced, knowledgeable representation from an attorney, not a paralegal.

I represent clients with criminal misdemeanor violations, including:

Marijuana Possession: If you were charged with a drug possession, you want an experienced attorney who understands how these cases are prosecuted in Washington. This is a serious misdemeanor, which is typically paired with another charge, such as a driving ticket or failure to renew tabs. Defendants also risk looking their financial aid for college.

With my representation, I will work to minimize the charges, examining the police procedure during the arrest and moving to exclude any evidence gathered in violation of the Constitution. I have a great deal of experience representing clients in Pierce County and will work hard to protect your record and future ability to rent property, obtain financial aid for school and many jobs.

Domestic Violence: In Pierce County, assault is taken seriously. The severity of the charges is increased if a weapon was used or the assault caused bodily harm. As your attorney, I will listen to your facts and develop an aggressive defense, working to prevent a possible conviction, which could result in a fine, community service, jail time, probation, restitution, anger management, domestic abuse counseling, a psychological evaluation or a restraining order.

I also have additional experience representing clients charged with the following misdemeanors:

• DUI Offenses
• Minor Consumption
• Indecent Exposure
• Obscenity
