Spokane Criminal Defense Attorney

Welcome to Rasmussen Law Offices, PLLC!

I am Aaron M. Rasmussen and I practice criminal defense law. At Rasmussen Law Offices, PLLC, we are dedicated to two basic principles:

  • You have to be willing to fight for the results that you want, and
  • Clients should have access to the attorney that represents them

Every case gets my individual attention. Every client has access to me if they have questions or concerns about their case.

A Criminal Defense Attorney for Every Kind of Charge

I handle all kinds of criminal cases. The following is a list of only some of the types of cases that I have worked on in the past:

  • Federal Criminal Defense
  • DUI Criminal Defense (including Physical Control and Minor Driving After Consuming Alcohol)
  • Vehicular Assault, Reckless Driving, Negligent Driving and other criminal traffic offenses
  • Felony and misdemeanor drug charges including Possession of a Controlled Substance, Possession with Intent to Manufacture or Deliver, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
  • Medical Marijuana
  • Domestic Violence cases of all varieties including Domestic Violence Assault, Malicious Mischief and Unlawful Imprisonment
  • Violent crimes including Assault and Robbery
  • Harassment, including Felony Harassment Threat to Kill
  • Resisting Arrest and Failure to Obey a Police Officer
  • Theft, Burglary and Trespass
  • Sex Offenses including Rape, other forms of sexual assault and Possession of Child Pornography

There is no crime to big or too small for my office to handle. I work hard in every case to achieve the best possible outcome for my clients.

Traffic Tickets – I Handle Them Too

I also handle traffic tickets – these cases get my full attention. After all, a traffic ticket is the closest most people come to a brush with the law and it is important to keep your driving record clean. If it is important to you then it is important to me.

Domestic Violence and Anti-Harassment Protection Orders

Domestic Violence and Anti-Harassment Protection Orders are a world unto themselves. The rules of evidence don’t apply. The cases are usually “he said/she said”. You are given very little time to respond.

Time is of the essence in these case. You have to act quickly to begin gathering the evidence necessary to stand a chance in the court room. If you have been served with a petition for a protection order, talk to an attorney right away. We can help.

Vacating Convictions and Restoration of Gun Rights

Do you have a past conviction on your record that is making it hard for you to get a job? You may be eligible to have your conviction vacated and your record sealed. I can help you with this.

A past conviction may have also resulted in the loss of your right to possess a firearm. This is an important right to many people – a fundamental right guaranteed by the Second Amendment. Contact my office if you are interested in having this right restored.

Drug Forfeitures

The law gives the police the right to seize any property that they believe were either the proceeds of a drug crime or helped facilitate a drug crime. They can even seize your home!

I handle these forfeiture cases as well. Call my office immediately to make sure that you don’t miss any important deadlines.

Affordable and Accessible Criminal Defense

I believe that everyone faced with a criminal charge should have a quality criminal defense attorney on their side. A good criminal defense attorney can be expensive. I try to work within my clients’ financial resources to find a payment arrangement that will work for you.
