“Choosing Vindicate Criminal Law Group was a life changing experience. The Attorney representing my case was Carrie. I was being charged with a Felony and a Misdemeanor. While the case was in the early stages of the investigation. I called and spoke to Silka. She was absolutely amazing, informative and completely transparent. After, I called around to speak to multiple attorneys. I just knew that this was the Law Group I wanted representing my case. When I spoke to Carrie, she was also the same including confident and immediately began working my case. Carrie was completely flexible by allowing me to set up a payment arrangement. She answered all of my questions and grew my confidence throughout the case. Carrie was able to strike a deal with the State’s prosecutor that not a lot of attorneys would be able to do. She was able to have my Felony charge DISMISSED. The Gross Misdemeanor charge reduced. NO JAIL TIME, NO PROBATION, & only a $250 court fine. I couldn’t be more grateful for her. She is truly an amazing attorney who fights for her clients. Along side with Carrie, Al Wheeler was also a great help in assisting her. They both are very experienced, knowledgeable and warriors in the court room. Thank you for getting me my life back.”

Biography

Carrie Fulton Brown, our Managing Attorney at Vindicate, is one of the best criminal defense attorneys in Western Washington. Her skill set is unlike most when it comes to trial advocacy. Of course, trial preparation and discovery are important, but those things can be taught. One element to a lawyer that is not always teachable is the talent and expertise that takes place in a courtroom during trial. Ms. Fulton-Brown’s natural instincts are addicting to watch during trial – juries pay attention, trust what she is saying, and she thrives under pressure.

Ms. Fulton-Brown takes full advantage of the law and tactfully applies it to her defense practices for her clients. She has secured numerous acquittals at trial and not guilty verdicts for her clients. Putting it frankly, she has nearly a decade of obtaining amazing results for her clients.

“Criminal charges are high-stakes and emotional. Allegations have a devastating impact on the accused if not handled correctly.” says Ms. Fulton-Brown. She believes that every client should have a complete understanding of their rights and as an attorney, she makes it her responsibility to provide all her clients with a road map to getting their life back.
