Bryan G. Hershman - Attorney At Law

While attending the University of Puget Sound Law School in 1981, I began an internship with the law firm of Kramer & Sulkosky. My career started as an attorney with the same firm. Initially, I envisioned my career taking me in the direction of admiralty law and litigation related to the Uniform Commercial Code. In 1985, due to the emergent need of my superior, I was thrust into the position of trying my first felony case. As life is an unpredictable path, in that trial I found my passion as a criminal lawyer.

Since opening my own practice in late 1985, it has been my goal to provide my clientele with quality legal care. Toward the end of the 1980’s, the focus of my practice became felony defense.  My practice has evolved to the point where today, 80-90% of my case load consists of defending people who are charged with serious felonies, up to and including death penalty litigation.  The balance of my practice deals with personal injury litigation and criminal defense involving misdemeanors.

I believe there are few tasks more important in a free and democratic society than defending clients charged with crimes. As a criminal attorney, I have great respect for the immense responsibility I undertake when a client makes the decision to hire me and am committed to putting forth a tireless effort in their defense.

I am very proud of the care and compassion shown by my staff toward my clientele. My paralegal, Natalie, is also committed to providing exceptional service to my clients.
