The Leo Law Office

About The Leo Law Office

Rick Leo has been practicing law in Washington for the past twelve years. During this time he has handled thousands upon thousands of cases. Rick had the unique experience of starting his legal career after law school at the Defender's Association and was immediately given hundreds of his own cases. Once he gained the experience of being in a courtroom every day and the knowledge of the law, he moved to a position at the Prosecutor's Office in Snohomish County. While most lawyers who begin their careers at the Prosecutor's Office tend to be straight out of law school, Rick on the other hand had years of experience at his disposal. This dual experience was tremendous for him; he gained an understanding of how both sides think, how they work and how they react to different circumstances. Rick quickly became very well known in the legal community as a well-rounded advocate of the law.

After leaving the Prosecutor's Office, Rick joined one of the larger and up and coming DUI firms that Washington had to offer. He channeled his dual experience and all of his energy purely towards defending those accused of DUIs and serious traffic offenses. His reputation for defending those accused of DUI had become recognized as one of the premier DUI attorneys in Washington. After a few years at the firm as an associate, Rick became a named partner.

Now at The Leo Law Office, Rick continues his dedication towards defending those accused of DUI.

Rick graduated from the Columbus School of Law at the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. He obtained a Master's Degree in Criminal Justice from the University of New York at Albany which is annually ranked at the top in the country for such studies. In addition, he is a graduate of the National Criminal Defense College in Macon, Georgia, a specialized program that one must be accepted into and which is geared towards refining one's trial skills.
