Incredibly knowledgeable and up-front. I had a quick consultation with him and was listened to and ultimately told that pursuing a case would cost a lot of money and probably not end the way I would hope. I had spent some time talking with lawyers, but none were as honest, kind, and seemingly knowledgeable as Mr. Partovi. Would highly recommend.

Washington's Self-Defense Reimbursement Statute
David Partovi has become intimately familiar with the finer points of the law over his career of more than 20 years. Washington's self-defense reimbursement statute is an important law to understand, given how it can cover lawyer fees and other costs associated with hiring an attorney.
About This State Statute
According to the revised code of Washington 9A.16.110, a person will not be put in legal jeopardy for reasonably defending themselves, their loved ones, their property, or someone who is in danger during a violent crime. When someone is found not guilty by reason of self-defense, the State of Washington will reimburse the defendant for attorney fees, loss of time, and other reasonable expenses that were associated with mounting their criminal defense.
Making the Law Work for Clients
David Partovi was the attorney in a criminal law case in which his client's mother was being harassed at a casino. The defendant shoved the person harassing his mother, which caused the harasser to fall and break their back. During the trial, the defendant was found not guilty by reason of self-defense. Our law firm secured reimbursement for the defendant's legal fees through this state law. This is what a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney can do for you.
DUI Law
Driving under the influence (DUI) refers to the operation of a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. In both Washington and Idaho, a driver is considered impaired if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) exceeds .08. In Washington, you are considered impaired if you have five or more nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood in your system.
A DUI conviction can hamper your bank account, your reputation, and your freedom. Repeat offenses result in increasingly harsher penalties that can include jail time. Tragically, DUI convictions are often a result of faulty police work. That's why you need an attorney who understands both your rights and proper police protocol to protect your rights.
