Philip Saint John Wakefield has
been exceeding clients' expectations for over 15 years. |

While driving down 1-90 eastbound, I got pulled
over going 87 in a 70 mph speed zone 10 minutes outside of Ellensburg,
WA. When the officer approached my car, he immediately said he smelled
marijuana. The officer gave me two options - give up the marijuana
or he will impound my car and get a search warrant from the judge.
I chose option #2. The officer handcuffed me and brought to the
station. While waiting for the warrant I went through rigorous interrogation.
After showing me the warrant, they got they brought me to my car
handcuffed me to a chair and let me watch them search my car.
After about 7 minutes of searching the cops found a pound of high
quality marijuana, half ounce of high grade marijuana hashish,
and $1000 cash. They then told me that I would probably either
go to jail or prison and pay tens of thousands of dollars, and
that I would have a felony on my record forever. I spent a night
in jail. Then luckily got bailed out.
Initially I was going to go with a public defender or just a
local lawyer from Ellensburg, but after speaking with many people
who understood my case, I knew I needed to go with a lawyer with
experience and someone who actually cares. That’s when I
met Phil Wakefield. I liked his track record, and for a lawyer
of his caliber, the price was great. I showed him my court papers
and he went to work, not only putting so much time into my case
but driving 3 hours to each and everyone of my court cases from
his headquarters down to Ellensburg where my court was held.
I didn’t
see how I could get out of it - they had the evidence, they got
my marijuana, my hash and my money, and to my knowledge the cops
didn’t
do anything illegal. It was election time and they are usually
extra hard on drug charges, so in my mind I thought I was screwed,
I WAS SURE WRONG. Phil got $600 back of my unregistered money
that I could not prove where it came from, Then miraculously, he
got my two felony charges of distribution of marijuana over 40
grams and possession of marijuana over 40 grams dropped to a conspiracy
to buy marijuana, which is only a misdemeanor. Not only did Mr.
Wakefield got my felony dropped, but I have no probation (I don’t
have to get drug tests), my license did not get suspended, and
not too much court fines. THIS IS UNHEARD OF. Phil is an amazing
lawyer and will definitely get you out of trouble. If I ever need
a lawyer I’m going with PHIL
WAKEFIELD again.

Subject: Testimonial
In March of 2008 I received a DUI after an accident I was involved
in in the city of Lynnwood. At that time I was struggling with
my alcoholism and PTSD as a returning veteran of the war in the
Iraqi theater. I had no excuse other than I drank and chose to
get in a vehicle and drive. Phil and his office staff
worked with me and continued to reassure me and my
family of the case as it progressed. The results was a lower conviction
on
Reckless Driving and standard fines which gave me the opportunity
to pursue
the help that I needed.
Unfortunately I squandered that 2nd chance
and continued to struggle with alcoholism and all of the symptoms
surrounding Post Tramatic Stress Syndrome. In January of 2009 I was
parked in a neighbor's driveway, drunk
and passed out. Out of concern the neighbors called the police and
I was
arrested for Physical Control of a vehicle. Again I contacted Phil's
office
looking for yet another chance. Long story short, at this moment
the case
no charges have been filed and the case has been dropped after Phil
challenged the law of being in a safe parked area. The main premise
of my story is that at as of this writing I have been sober since
the date of my
arrest and have been actively involved in my Sobriety, Veterans affairs
as
well as the continued treatment for PTSD. This 3rd chance has proven
to me that indeed good people can get buried into trouble but given
the circumstances and proper avenues good people don't have to pay
for mistakes endlessly.
Phil produces results. Without
his assistance I probably would be in a complete different state
of mind and place and my family would be in turmoil to say the
least. By handing Phil my legal issues I was able to focus on my
other issues to a path of recovery. I'm a firm believer in paying
for one's mistakes, which I have done, but at a minimal impact
thanks to Phil and his very supportive staff. I would not hesitate
to recommend Phil to anyone that requires legal help.

"I
made the mistake of being pulled over on I-405 under the influence
of alcohol. I was arrested and booked. The following day, I was
given Phil's number by a friend, and after one year of back and forth
out of court, we were offered a Neg 1 and Fine. We refused and told
them we would go to trial...The court...offered me a deal of deferred
sentence - dismissed 18 months. I'm happy with what I received. It
keeps my career moving right along with no struggle. There will be
no criminal charge on my record. This was my goal and Phil got it
for me."

"I was looking
at the loss of my license for two and a half years. After pleading
not guilty in Mason County District Court, I learned the arresting
officer had fabricated a report describing speeding, crossing the
entire roadway, drunken behavior during my arrest, out-of-character
statements by me, and my shouting obscenities at him...I knew then,
I needed a good attorney. I retained Mr. Philip Wakefield and refused
the reduction to an infraction. Another Deputy Prosecutor then amended
the charge to DUI, Reckless Driving, and Negligent Driving First
Degree. However, before my case went to trial, Wakefield, with
his knowledge and skill, negotiated total dismissal of all charges.
For this I'm truly grateful."

"If you are seated in a chair
next to a sleeping python across from Mr. Philip Wakefield, you're
in the right place... I was referred to Mr. Wakefield by a friend
and decided to give him a call...The best call I ever made! Mr. Wakefield
made me feel at ease from the first phone call. I drive for a living,
so there was no way I could lose my license. He took my case and
got it reduced to a Neg driving 1st degree. We could have gone to
trial, but opted to take the plea as to save myself any more expenses
and time off of work. Thanks Phil!"

"I would like to start by thanking
you for your ability to take on my case in the short notice that
was brought up to you. I would like to recognize your inability to
perform poorly in the courtroom, & that has earned a devoted
amount of my appreciation...Indeed your help is greatly appreciated,
and I will keep spreading the word about your advantageous office & cooperative
representatives. You have all been outstanding in your persistence
along with optimism that has been vital to getting the right outcome
in the end."

"From the first consultation
Phil reassured me by explaining my options, how the process worked
and his experience in these types of cases...Through Phil's hard
work, the charges were reduced to reckless endangerment with no jail
and minimal fines. I am very happy with the outcome and found Phil
to be great to work with and I enjoyed his sense of humor."

"Unlike any other lawyers that
I know, Philip doesn't consider his job to be done after the court
is over. He was and still is helping me with solving of many other
related troubles...I really appreciate his very human, personal attitude
to my problems."
