Thorough, Experienced, and Strategic
Whether you're seeking legal representation for the first time or considering a change from previous counsel, I highly recommend Mr. Albert Guadagno.
When I began my search for an attorney, I compiled a list and even used a service to help identify potential candidates. However, many of the options presented did not align with the specific expertise I needed. Understanding the seriousness and complexity of my situation, I knew that having the right attorney—someone thorough, experienced, and strategic—would be essential.
Mr. Guadagno took the time to carefully review all of the documentation I provided and brought a depth of legal knowledge and courtroom experience that made a real difference in my case. His ability to understand the nuances of the law and present a compelling argument ultimately led to a favorable outcome—a successful denial of the petitioner's claim.
What sets Mr. Guadagno apart is his dual experience as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney. This well-rounded perspective gives him an exceptional ability to anticipate and respond to a wide range of legal challenges with confidence and clarity.
If you're unsure of whom to trust with your legal matter, I encourage you to contact Mr. Albert Guadagno. His professionalism, insight, and results-driven approach speak for themselves.

Case Dismissed
Highly recommend Guadagno law services, they were able to get my case eventually dismissed and always approachable to discuss/guide on the situation!!
M Sharma
Albert is the best!
I contacted Albert late on a Sunday night in a position I never thought I would be in. He not only took my call, he kindly listened and helped calm my fears about my situation. He answered all my questions and explained the process clearly. Albert is patient, caring, and available whenever I needed to speak to him, day or night. He was recommended to me by a friend, and I am so grateful to have been represented by him. He made me feel comfortable from the very beginning and worked hard to get me a good outcome. I can't say enough good things about him, Albert is the best!
Dana Schilperoort
Albert's professionalism is outstanding
(Translated by Google) When I contacted Albert, I was worried about not being able to speak English well, but he brings his professionalism to 100%. His human and professional quality is outstanding. He is always willing to answer questions, guide, and recommend the best options. He is very detailed in his cases and tries to understand his clients so that he can defend them successfully. He helped me navigate a path that can be overwhelming, but with his help, it was much easier and more successful in my case. Albert is one of the best lawyers and persons I have been able to contact!!! (Original) Cuando contacté a Albert, me preocupaba no poder hablar bien inglés, pero él lleva su profesionalismo al 100%. Su calidad humana y profesional es de resaltar, está siempre dispuesto a responder dudas, orientar y recomendar las mejores opciones. Es muy detallado en sus casos, y trata de entender a sus clientes de manera que puede defenderlos exitosamente. A mí me ayudó a recorrer un camino que puede ser abrumador, pero con su ayuda fue mucho más fácil y exitoso en mi caso. Albert is one of the best lawyers and persons I have been able to contact!!!
Zamira Martin
Albert resolved key issues
I was really scared, not sure what to do. Looking at jail time. I had contacted several lawyers, most of them their first conversation was about money. It was uncomfortable for me. When I contacted Albert, his first questions he asked me were, 'How can I help you? What can we do to address this situation in your best interest?' I felt a great sense of relief as we talked in depth. He resolved several key issues. My charges were, after a bit of time, dismissed. Albert and his associates went above and beyond for me and they will follow through for you too. Worth every penny.
Paul Moyer
Your best investment!
After searching so hard for a lawyer with criminal experience! I found A Guadagno Law on the internet! At first I thought I was not making a good decision by letting him handle my case without having any prior reference from a friend or family member! But after a few months today I can highly recommend Mr. Guadagno! He is very knowledgeable and answers calls and messages 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!! Don't skimp on price!! It will be your best investment!!

Albert goes the extra mile
Albert goes the extra mile for his clients. He worked around my schedule, thoroughly explained all details to me, and represented me like no one else would. There’s no question about me using Albert again to represent me, or if someone I know needs a criminal defense lawyer.

BEST decision I could have made!
Aah, where to start? So last year the day before Christmas, 'Christmas Eve.' My 18 & 1/2-year-old, African American, college student son, who, by the way, had never been in trouble, made a huge mistake! I flew him home to Seattle for the first time since he left for college in the summer. I wanted him to be home from Thanksgiving to just after the New Year. You know, for the holidays! Well, on Christmas Eve he was arrested for an alleged crime involving a handgun. As a father, this crushed me 100%. I knew my son. He was a good kid! Not a perfect kid, but generally a good kid. This was an isolated and perfectly fueled incident. With my son now facing this potentially life-changing event, depending on the final outcome, I decided to put my trust as a parent and my son's bright future into Albert Guadagno. I hired him at what I thought was a reasonable and fair price, especially given the severity of the situation. BEST decision I could have made!! Here is why: 1st - He was genuinely compassionate and empathetic with my son's emotional status at the time of the incident and the entire situation. 2nd - He was proactive and creative with his case strategy. 3rd - He was relentless and aggressive in the negotiations with the prosecutor. 4th - He was successful in the end with the defense of my son. My son went from being charged with two felonies and potential prison or jail time to pleading to 2 misdemeanors. No jail time and no supervised probation was imposed at sentencing. If I hadn't told all my kids from a young age, 'you get 1 bailout from me in your lifetime when it comes to criminal cases,' I would definitely hire Albert again! My son got his 1 bailout from me! And I'm glad I took a chance on Albert Guadagno Law! My son now gets a fair second chance at his life!! Thank you, Albert. Omari Powell Father! Husband! Son! Brother! Business Owner! Homeowner! I'm you!

Very responsible, ethical, and professional
Great attorney, makes you feel like family. If you call him, he answers. Before hiring him, he answered all my questions. I was shocked not a lot of people care. Money worth. If you don’t speak Spanish, he always has someone to interpret, makes you feel like home. He helped out with a criminal case. Very responsible, ethical, and professional. I really recommend Attorney Guadagno. If I can give 10 stars, I would 10 out of 10.
GABY MARQUEZ
Don't hesitate to call Albert!
If it wasn’t for my last attorney jumping ship on me, I would have never found Albert. And I’m very grateful that I did. Right from when I called and inquired, Albert was already on it. Super understanding and extremely knowledgeable about the court system and my specific case. His advice and flexibility to contact him really put my mind at ease. If you’re looking for an outstanding attorney, who gets things done, don’t hesitate to call Albert! Seriously.
Victor Dunbar

A Very Satisfying Experience

Eliseo Nambo
An Angel in Legal Defense
Hello, highly recommended to lawyer Alberto Guadagno. Alluding to the case of my son, I give a lot of praise to his defense. Alberto Guadagno is like an angel, the truth is that God put him in my son's path and the whole family helped us to have tranquility and more peace in our lives by freeing my son from prison. I recommend them with closed eyes because every question I asked him, whether by email, phone call, or text message, he answered immediately, whether it was at night or early morning. He takes his time as if you were his family and he also treats his clients perfectly well. Makes me feel good with his quick action. Thank you very much, lawyer Alberto Guadagno and readers already know that he is the best of lawyers. God bless him and every case he handles so that the innocent person can be free. Atte: Mirna Hernández

Could Not Recommend More!
Found Mr. Guadagno via a Google search after consulting with at least three other lawyers in/around the area. Found relative comfort in his direct but calming demeanor and knew I had the right guy… Had no clue how correct I really was! Turned what was once a horrible misunderstanding into the correct outcome for all and was able to get the case resolved. Could not recommend more!
John Kammerer
A Beacon of Hope and Sanity
We were having civil legal troubles. We suspected that we may be set up for a criminal issue and reached out to Albert. It was very early in the morning when I called the number listed on his website. I expected to leave a message because of the time, but Albert answered and we spoke at length. We were having a lot of anxiety over our situation and the lawyer representing us was highly ineffective and adding to our anxiety. Albert was a beacon of hope and sanity for us and unless he was in court, he was always available to talk. We ended up not needing further legal assistance from him, but would not hesitate to call on him if we had. We have since wrapped up the civil issue. Albert bridged the gap in legal advice for our issue when our lawyer for the civil issue dumped us in the middle of the case. We ended up not needing a criminal lawyer, but Albert gave us a sense of protection, sanity, and hope in a time that was very dark and dismal for us.

INSANE deal he obtained for me
I really wanted to take time and thank Albert for the INSANE deal he obtained for me. I was referred to Albert from a previous co-worker. He really was able to assist and guide me in the right direction towards a great resolution. It was my first time ever getting into any legal trouble. Out of a worst-case scenario, I was lucky and came out with the best-case scenario. Would definitely recommend and refer Albert to anyone who is in search of an attorney who cares.

Alberto is a true blessing.
Give him a call! Alberto is a true blessing. While roaming the internet, I went through many websites and faces that could have potentially helped me due to the pickle that I was in. Alberto’s website stood out to me. I don’t know if it was the blue background that was so unique compared to all the black and grey websites I had seen, or the fact that he looked friendly in his photo and his bio was easily accessible. As a Spanish speaker, it was reassuring to see the Spanish portions of the website and the reviews.
I decided to give him a call past midnight. I was shocked that he answered. I’ve done a lot of questionable things at midnight, but this was the best thing I could have done. I asked a lot of questions and got direct answers. During the call, I was able to be my authentic self and be vulnerable enough about my family situation that required legal consult. I left the conversation feeling hopeful and less stressed about my situation.
Alberto is an expert at holding space for his clients. He is open to any questions and explains legal proceedings in a way that anyone can understand. Not knowing what will happen is scary. Alberto does a great job of easing anxieties and not being judgmental of one’s situation. He is personable and humorous. He can really alleviate the stress that comes with trial. He was able to present my family member for one of his hearings. He continues to keep us informed and in the loop of what is going on in court.
Lastly, he truly cares for the work that he is doing. He is able to foster genuine connections with his clients. He is honest and compassionate. He knows that the legal system can be damaging and traumatic to his clients, especially to BIPOC clients. I would recommend him to everyone. He will call or text whenever he can. If you are thinking of getting a criminal defense lawyer, give him a call. I’m sure he will answer! Plus he got a cool website!

Albert is a winner in our case
I promised my wife, my son's mother, to help my son with this terrible situation he found himself in. We all live in the SF Bay Area. The event happened in Seattle. We originally thought we could handle all the legal work ourselves, but we quickly realized that would be impossible, and we didn’t know any attorneys in Seattle. I was lucky enough to find Albert’s website late that evening and I called him the next morning. He answered, introduced himself, and asked me about the problem. My son and I talked with him for about an hour about the case, and I knew after that conversation that I wanted him to represent my son. He told us we were not obligated in any way to hire him and that we should take more time, if needed, to read his personal information including his bio, and his reviews from previous clients. I did, and hired him the next morning. He didn’t disappoint us. He was available 24/7 as the website says. His calm, personable, and reassuring demeanor was exactly what my son needed during those stressful days. He is also a very skilled attorney, which he proved over and over again. He is well liked within his legal community, and I can understand why. And one more thing, Albert is a winner. We just won our case today. Thank you, Albert! My wife thinks I’m a genius when she says, “Where did you find this guy?”

Absolutely the Best in This Business
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST IN THIS BUSINESS, Albert is honest, kind, and very promising. I haven’t dealt with too many legal cases in my life, but Albert helped me understand the process of the court and put me in the right direction to successfully getting me out of trouble. Albert is very patient, understanding, and a true savior. I would recommend him to anyone that needs help with any legal cases. Thank you, Albert, for your much-needed help! I would give more stars if I could!

Albert was a lifesaver for my son
Albert came through in a very tough situation and helped us out tremendously. I don’t know where my son would be without all of his hard work on numerous court cases. Not only is he professional and very good with working with the courts, he cares about his clients and their families. I can’t say enough what a lifesaver Albert was for my son.
A Michaelis
Catharsis. A true blessing
Catharsis. A true blessing, I am literally entering the new year knowing for a fact that my new year will be even better than I thought with Albert's expertise, dedication, and true loyalty to his clients and craft. After this post, I am able to tell my remaining family when I will be home.
One of the reasons my case lasted as long as it did was because although this was my first and only offense, I was arrested, handled, and released as a two-time offender with a history of violence. It took months to get it remedied. I was living a nightmare already, not including the arrest, but also living the panic of facing prison time for your first offense, minimum. I have never been in trouble and trusted that my identity would certainly be known right away. I suffer from PTSD; I am and have been disabled for some time. Albert not only took this seriously, he was the first person in the entire legal process of the situation to acknowledge it, as it is pretty key to helping your client with precision.
The moment I called, my situation improved. He will walk you through every scenario possible, and he will listen! He will work with you until you're confident about your decisions. Sentencing and probation were concerns of mine early on because I need to return home in another state. I have lost a tremendous amount of my family during COVID—one person per month from April 2020 to September 2020. Albert has made this very clear to all parties involved. When someone or somehow the message was lost, it is immediately resolved.
When you call Albert, you will breathe easier and feel redeemable for sure. Albert was able to bring my case to a Neg-1. I had been living in my car for three days after running from an assault. The same person compromised my finances, and I was in my car instead of my room. No gas for three days. I was hoping to maybe get a bit of a charge on my phone. It was still physical control. This case started in October 2020. I wish I had been in a position to hire him sooner. I have been blessed by a loyal community that has made it possible.
UPDATE* I recently found out I have a total of 11 family members with COVID. Only one person in the hospital. He has been on a ventilator for a few weeks now.

What should I bring to my first meeting?
Bring any relevant documents such as police reports, court notices, bail papers, and correspondence related to your case. It's also helpful to write down your recollection of events and any questions you have. This information aids us in understanding your case and designing a defense plan.
What is criminal defense?
Criminal defense is the legal representation provided to individuals or entities charged with criminal conduct. It involves protecting the rights of the accused, negotiating plea deals, and providing guidance through the legal system. Our goal is to ensure the best possible outcome for the client.
What happens during a criminal trial?
During a criminal trial, both the prosecution and the defense present evidence and arguments.

Our team will guide you through every step of the process.
