A Defender of Constitutional Rights Against Unfair Odds While it can feel at times, and at times rightly so, that innocence has been made irrelevant in the age of plea offers, Angus is a man, an attorney, a father and a friend, one who stares down the beast of our conviction industry, otherwise known as a "Justice system," with the upmost resolve. ​I cannot recommend Angus Lee and his firm highly enough: particularly for anyone facing deeply challenging and institutionally unfair legal battles; words cannot satsify what this man did for me, but I'll try, anyway: ​My case presented fundamentally unfair odds, involving a prosecutorial approach where the pursuit of conviction was coursed to eclipse the essential search for truth and justice. The system I faced demonstrated a concerning disregard for key evidence, driven instead by ideology and entrenched biases. It was in this incredibly difficult environment that Angus Lee fought, not just for my freedom, but for the very integrity of my constitutional rights. ​Mr. Lee fought untiringly. He was relentlessly prepared and strategically brilliant, pushing back against the prosecution's institutional power like an army of one. His tenacity was so effective that he was even regarded by the opposing prosecutor as the most aggressive defense attorney she had ever encountered. This exhaustive effort led to the prosecution being compelled to offer five plea deals, two of which were offered discreetly and under the table. This level of resilience and expertise provided unwavering support during what was the most taxing period of my life. Witnessing his work was a masterclass in how to defend constitutional rights against an institutional apparatus seemingly hard at work to deteriorate them. ​Angus Lee is more than just a lawyer; he is a dedicated, principled, and formidable bulwark for justice. If you need representation that is prepared to take on the most difficult and biased circumstances with skill, dedication, and integrity, look no further. He eventually managed to pummel an impossibly skewed case down enough that the plea agreed upon between my accuser and I outweighed the risk of a trial. I have many regrets in life, selecting Angus to defend me will never be one of them. From the bottom of my heart, on behalf of my fiance, my brother, my mother, my friends and loved ones, thank you for what you did, and how far you were willing to take my fight. May God bless and keep you and yours Mr. Angus Lee. Last thing: Angus was completely ready and prepared to take my case to trial, and a big part of him wanted to. Accepting a plea offer was a somber moment shared between us... but that is the exact attitude that you need in an attorney who is fighting for your freedom. Angus is a warrior first, and a defender second; amid a trial, it is my perception, you will find no substitute for Angus Lee.

As a small business owner I was in disbelief that any business can have 5.0 stars on Google. I have tried to get fake low star reviews about my business removed by Google. Its impossible. So, believe it. Angus Lee Law Firm has 5.0 stars on Google. My case was exceptionally difficult, with potential for very bad social, business, and legal consequences. Angus counseled patience as he worked hard to get ALL witness interviews and depositions completed. Then he found qualified outside experts to independently review all the available evidence. Finally, under heavy questioning by Angus in a video deposition, the alleged victim conceded many facts for the record, some of which he admitted were obscured or false in earlier statements, including some given to the police. As a result, my actions finally became clear as legal self defense. After complete dismissal of the criminal prosecution, Angus secured dismissal of a civil lawsuit the alleged victim had filed seeking monetary damages. Included in the court record with the civil case dismissal was a signed and notarized apology letter from the alleged victim stating, in part, "Please accept this letter as a formal apology for my actions and for the trouble they have caused. I hope that we can move forward from this incident and that I can demonstrate through my future actions that I have learned from this experience." Apology accepted. Thank you Angus Lee for saving my freedom, my family business, and my reputation. Thank you for reminding us we are all human, and we all make mistakes. It is only through recognizing and acknowledging our mistakes that we are given the opportunity to learn from them. My case could certainly have gone another way, but it didn't because of your commitment to the quality of the work you do.

On a lazy Sunday morning after a late night BBQing with friends, I found my home being surrounded by SWAT and being called out at gun point by a bullhorn and then arrested. I have never been in trouble with the law and all of sudden my quiet suburban home was being targeted. The next day, in jail, I was charged with an additional class A felony and then several protection orders from my mentally ill, drugged out, ex-girlfriend of 3 years. I spent the next couple weeks getting referrals and vetting attorneys to find the best representation I could find, that was Angus Lee. Over the course of the following year, he was able to expertly expose that my accuser had a daily secret cocaine habit, had not been taking her meds for months, was suicidal, mentally unstable, and had a repeated pattern of abusing the legal system, against men, to avoid having to work. The end result was that all the charges were dropped, all protection orders were withdrawn, and my family now has a protection order against the "alleged victim". After going through this horrible process, I can say that if you are a male in WA you already have a target on your back, and if you somehow find yourself in the crosshairs of the legal machine, get the best representation you can, it can save your life. For me, the best, was Angus Lee.

Angus Lee has restored my hope in the judicial system. My brother was falsely charged with 4 counts of vehicular homicide by the state of Washington in 2019. Despite there being essentially no evidence linking my brother to the scene of the accident that left 2 people deceased, the state continued to pursue the charges. I’m so thankful my brother choose Angus because he was the only lawyer that predicted the narrative behind the state’s accusations, and with confidence, provided great insight of the state’s motive in the matter. Every other lawyer he interviewed said that the state didn’t have a case and that this would be an easy win. Well, 4 1/2 years later of a long battle that was settled in trial, my brother was exonerated of all charges thanks to a jury that unanimously voted NOT GUILTY. Due to the severity of the charges and the prosecutor’s adamant accusations, I’m convinced that this verdict never would have resulted without Mr. Lee’s knowledge, precision, and unwavering dedication. If you are in a legal predicament and needing an intelligent discerning lawyer who has the endurance to defend, protect, and uphold truth, then you found the right man. Angus is a man of integrity, and conducts himself in a professional manner. In addition, he is a down to earth individual who is relatable and connects with his clients, fighting relentlessly on their behalf. Watching an innocent family member fight for their freedom was a heart wrenching experience. You feel powerless and all you can do is just pray that the truth will one day prevail. Through great detail, wisdom, and authority, Angus brought that truth to light and disassembled a false narrative saving years of my brother’s life. I am eternally grateful to Angus and would highly recommend his counsel and guidance to anyone being falsely charged of a crime.

STELLAR!! Angus Lee is the attorney you need. A very personable man who fully understands the importance of analytical thinking. He brought to light the truth, not speculation, opinion or assumptions that allowed the jury to determine the verdict inspite of biased media coverage that had condemned our case as “ Guilty until proven innocent “. Our son faced 36 years on four counts. Angus got two counts dismissed and the jury UNANIMOUSLY voted Not guilty to the other 2 counts. After 4 years of silently suffering awaiting trial we all burst in tears of gratitude, joy and exhaustion. I cannot say enough about Angus Lee’s ethics, experience and wisdom. He is the lawyer you need in your corner and want on your side! Respectfully, Don Poole

Four and a half years ago, the state of Washington attempted to charge my little brother with four counts of vehicular homicide, two of which were for driving under the influence and two for reckless driving. Upon arriving to the collision scene which involved my brothers roommate at the time, and a woman in a BMW, the Vancouver PD made false accusations that my brother and his roommate were racing on their motorcycles, which inevitably took his roommates life, as well as the women in the BMW. After my brother informed me he had a good feeling about Mr. Lee, he hired him and Angus promptly started a thorough investigation to free my brother on all four charges. The state offered my brother a plea bail where they would drop two of the charges, still serving him 8 years in prison. My brother turned down the plea bail, which meant he would be going to trial. The trial got pushed off for years due to “finding more evidence” on behalf of the state and Covid. After gathering substantial evidence, including police reports where one officer wrote a false statement saying my brother struck both vehicles, and later amended his claim, gathering professional witnesses to measure his speed with accuracy etc, amongst multiple other pieces of vital evidence, Mr. Lee was able to drop two of the charges by the judge. Finally, the jury was convinced that my brother was in fact, not guilty on ALL counts of vehicular homicide. There couldn’t have been a better way to end this year. No amount of money could repay Mr. Lee for the peace he gave not only my brother, but also, our family. We gained a lifelong friend from this and true justice for my brother, so he can finally live his life as a free man.

I wish I could give Angus 100 stars. I was being wrongfully accused of felony crimes that were outrageous and untrue. When I initially met with Angus he was the only lawyer who really took my case seriously. All the other lawyers I presented it to just shrugged it off and thought it would be an easy win, and would probably never even make it to a trial. But Angus knew what the state is capable of, and where their motives lie. Angus navigated my highly complicated case with extreme precision. His background as a prosecutor really helps guide his decisions and gives excellent insight as to what these prosecutors might do. My case was one of pure injustice and Angus really took it to heart and I believed it really fueled his fire. My case took four years to make it to trial, and during that time Angus counseled me every step of the way. His efforts pre-trial secured that we would have a fair trial. His attention to detail is unmatched. He secured an abundance of motions that really forced the state into a corner they couldn't get out of. The amount of work he puts in just goes to show how much he cares about his clients and their liberties as a citizen. During the trial he really commanded a presence that everyone could feel. His clarity and sound arguments won the show. I don't think any other lawyer would have successfully navigated my case, because of the foundation of lies the state was using against me. I sincerely believe I would be in prison right now if it weren't for him. I am eternally grateful for this man. He is a true American and a voice for the people against tyranny. Beyond just his credentials and expertise, which are impeccable, he really cares about his clients. He's fun and personable, but knows when to be serious and counsel with excellent discernment. If you want the best outcome for yourself and are in a battle for your life and liberty as I was, choose this man. He will conquer and prevail.

I was being investigated for very serious felonies (ultimately charged with four felony crimes) and my employer of 16 years had just placed me on leave. I was panicked and didn't know what to do. I called a local attorney in Longview that I knew and he recommended Angus Lee as he thought he would be better able to represent my interests. High praise from one lawyer to another. My first interaction with Angus set the tone. He was confident, compassionate, and had a very solid game-plan. He believed in me. After he took my case, he gave me advice that I will never forget. He told me that “these cases go on for a long time and will literally break some people. Go get close to God, go out and live your life and know that I literally have your back, Chad trust me-I got this”. It was as if God himself reached down from the heavens and took the load off me right then and there, which he did. His compassion and understanding cemented my confidence in him as a person and I learned to absolutely trust in his abilities as a lawyer. My case was a bit unique, but he had the polygrapher lined up (which affirmed the fact I didn’t do anything wrong), investigators, and expert-witnesses. He pulled all the right levers and pushed all the right buttons at the right times. When I was stuck in the moment, he was 10 steps ahead of me and about 11 ahead of the prosecutor. He always reminded, me “I got you”. After 8 months of methodically and passionately, destroying all the State’s "so-called" evidence, the State moved to dismiss all charges against me. In the end, what was uncovered was what I had been saying all along, I had done nothing wrong. At my age, a conviction on any of the charges would have been the equivalent to a life sentence. God sent me Angus and I can’t say enough about his integrity, work-ethic, skill, and compassion. He cared for me and hurt when I hurt but he always stayed focused with the end in mind. If ever you find yourself in the proverbial “fox-hole” of the criminal justice system, fighting for your life and you need a skilled warrior in the “fox-hole” next to you, get D. Angus Lee. I thank God for him daily. Chad Connors

Angus Lee defended a family member of false allegations that could have ruined their life. He was impressive to watch in a court room and he never stopped fighting for his client until the NOT GUILTY verdict was given. Highly recommend him.

If I could give 10 STARS, I would! Angus fought a very long 4 1/2 year battle to defend our son over allegations that would have cost him 20 years. Angus communicated with us regularly, independantly investigated the facts and kept us positive through long Covid delays within the court system. All charges have been DISMISSED. It's just over a week later and after having so much at risk for so long, it still feels unreal that it's over. Thank you so much for all you have done!

Angus saved my father from being convicted of first degree manslaughter. We found him literally days before his first court appearance. From the very first day we knew my fathers case was in great hands. Not only was he extremely communicative with the whole process he’s extremely detailed. Angus came with the facts and refused to be pushed around. When the prosecutor fought Angus fought harder. Without Angus I don’t know what my fathers future would have looked like. What I do know is because of him my father will now have a life with his children and grandchildren. Angus is definitely someone you want on your side. We couldn’t be more grateful to have had Angus fight for my fathers innocence.

Thank you. It was a true honor to defend your father!
