When a client trusts Hale Law Enterprises with a drunk driving charge, we take that trust personally. Justin’s recent review, titled “Matthew Hale Knocked It Out of the Park,” captures the heart of how we approach every case: steady work, honest guidance, and a focus on the person behind the file.
From Overwhelmed to Relieved
Justin came to us feeling defeated. He faced a DUI and a license suspension after his car broke down in front of a police station while he was under the influence. The odds felt stacked against him. Over two years, Attorney Matthew T. Hale stayed directly involved, walking beside Justin through each step of the process.
As Matthew explains, “I worked with Justin for two years on this case. It is usually a long process. His car broke down in front of the police station and he was under the influence, but he did what we asked of him, getting an alcohol assessment and a short class, and we got the case reduced by threatening to go to trial. This was a City of Seattle case, and we have been in that court since 1998.”
Hard Work, Real Change
Justin put in the effort, followed the guidance he received, and stayed engaged. Matthew drew on more than 27 years in criminal defense and decades in Seattle courts to build a thorough, strategic defense. That careful work led to a reduced charge and a much lighter outcome than Justin first feared, without fines, probation, or an interlock device.
By the end, Justin felt a real shift—from hopeless to hopeful. We see this change often. When clients know someone stands with them, answers their calls, and treats them like family, the weight starts to lift.
“When I found myself in a less than ideal position with the cards stacked clearly against me, Matthew Hale came to my defense and knocked it out of the park. I was facing a DUI with a license suspension and, through his hard work and diligence, he got it reduced to a reckless, with no fines, no probation, and no interlock device. It could not have gone better for me, and I highly recommend that if you find yourself in a similar position you obtain his counsel. I greatly appreciate you, Matthew; thank you so much for representing me!” - Justin
