Criminal Law

About:

****Aggressive Criminal Defense**** ****Traffic Infractions**** ****Firearms Rights Restoration**** As a law student at Seattle University, I spent a year and a half providing public defense work in the King County court system. I worked in every aspect of District Court - from the jail to the jury. The diversity of my court assignments showed me a multitude of different defendants and case facts. I was able to learn the trade from some of the absolute best in the criminal defense business. Since passing the bar, I have continued on with my commitment to indigent defense, working first as a a public defender in Mason County, and then with the City of Olympia. My fee structure allows me to help people of different socioeconomic backgrounds; defending those who would otherwise be without representation. In 2016, I started my own practice, Eloquence Law, PLLC, and it has grown rapidly. I have worked in courts spanning the Western half of Washington. I actively seek firearm rights restoration for clients that have lost those rights in the past, as well as clearing records, by way of vacating felonies and misdemeanors. I have also contested and won countless traffic infractions, but the vast majority of my time is spent in criminal defense. I fully believe in zealous representation and advocacy for my clients in all cases: public or private; paid or unpaid. I believe in the idea of justice, and work daily towards reaching it for my clients.

"My charges got dropped! The whole experience was a nightmare until I was blessed to have Mr. Woody assigned to my case. He made me feel like I was important and it was such a relief to know I was in the hands of an excellent lawyer! He kept me in the loop every step of the way and in the end he got my charges dropped! If I am ever in any trouble again I will be calling Eloquence Law!"
