Beckwith Criminal Law – Seattle, WA

Former Prosecutor Fighting for Your Defense

Beckwith Criminal Law is a distinguished defense firm located in the historic Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle. Founded in 2007 by Cristine Beckwith, a former Deputy Prosecutor for Pierce County, the firm brings an insider’s perspective to criminal defense. Having worked on the ”other side,” Cristine understands exactly how the state builds its cases, where they cut corners, and how to exploit those weaknesses for her clients’ benefit. This strategic advantage has helped thousands of clients across the Puget Sound region avoid convictions and jail time.

Our office is housed in the iconic Olympic Block Building on Yesler Way, surrounded by the rich history of Seattle’s original downtown. We believe that every client deserves a zealous advocate who will treat them with dignity, not judgment.
