About:
I joined Butler Beschen Law PLLC after spending several years at the Whatcom County Public Defender's Office. My work largely consists of criminal defense. I am experienced in all aspects of the criminal justice system -- from the first appearance with the judge to a case going to trial. Butler Beschen Law is one of the leading criminal defense, employment law and litigation firms servicing the Pacific Northwest. Our firm is premised upon the belief that narrowing the focus of a law practice - in our case, criminal defense, employment disputes and litigation - and working hard to be the best in those specific areas, will result in superior client service and a level of legal competency that may be difficult, if not impossible, for most general practitioners to achieve. Before becoming an attorney I was a journalist.
