A Vigorous Defense And Holistic Approach

The Law Office of Robert D. Butler is equipped for defense against serious felony charges, from drug crimes and sex offenses to assault and violent crimes. I have tried hundreds of cases in state and federal courts, and I’ve been selected to the Super Lawyers list every year since 2013 as a top-rated criminal defense lawyer. You can count on me for skilled and aggressive representation no matter what the charges.

My concern doesn’t end with getting you out of your present legal jam. I work to get my clients the services and support they need – such as mental health counseling or treatment for addictions – to improve their lives and avoid future legal trouble. I get many referrals from past clients because of my compassion for their predicament and the favorable results I achieved.

Fighting To Right The Wrongs

I help ordinary people pursue justice for violations. It can be daunting to sue the government or bring a claim against your employer. I am an experienced trial lawyer who is not afraid to take on powerful entities. Let me be your voice and your shield as we seek compensation for unpaid overtime, workplace discrimination or harassment, or injuries from police brutality.

Knowledge Is Power. I Know Your Rights.

I was a teacher in my previous career. That unique background enables me to break down legal concepts in an understandable way for my clients – and for the judge or jury. I will educate you about your rights as a citizen, your rights as an employee or your rights as the accused to help you make informed decisions. In plain English, I will give you my honest assessment of where you stand and the best strategy for your situation.

Call my Bellingham office at 360-325-7242 to schedule a time or use the online form. I practice in Whatcom County and the surrounding counties of northwest Washington. I offer free consultations for criminal cases.
