Proven Defense for Serious Felony Charges
My name is Les Tolzin. In 18 years of criminal defense practice, I have defended many people accused of assault or other violent crimes, including murder. Depending on your circumstances, success may be measured by dismissed charges, a not guilty verdict at trial, pleading guilty to a lesser offense, or avoiding a life sentence or death sentence. I have achieved all of those scenarios for my clients.
Don't talk to the police or try to cut a deal on your own. Call me at 253-274-9441 for a free consultation. I handle state and federal charges in Tacoma and throughout Pierce, Thurston and King Counties of Washington.
Homicide and Assault Defense — Skilled, Aggressive Representation
I can defend you against a full spectrum of violent crimes, including:
- Murder
- Felony Murder
- Manslaughter
- Robbery
- Kidnapping
- Burglary
- Assault
- Rape or assault with sexual motivation
There may be viable defenses for violent crimes charges, such as self-defense or mistaken identity. The charges may be overly harsh: was there substantial bodily harm or should it have been charged as fourth-degree assault? There may be problems with the way the police obtained the evidence: was a "confession" coerced? Was there probable cause for a search warrant or arrest warrant? And the evidence itself may not hold up: I have advanced training in forensics and crime scene investigation.
My first goal is to help my clients avoid prison time or at least minimize any prison sentence.
