Steve Rosen

Mr. Rosen is a long time resident of King County, Washington. While studying at the University of Washington, he received his college degree in just three years. He then attended law school at one of the nation's top 20 law schools, the University of Minnesota. During law school, Mr. Rosen worked as an intern for the public defender's office, gaining valuable negotiation and trial skills. Mr. Rosen finished law school in the top 1/3 of his class. 

After graduation, Mr. Rosen was a prosecutor in King County and then at the Attorney General's office. Mr. Rosen then went into private practice, focusing on criminal defense.
During the course of his career, Mr. Rosen has handled hundreds of criminal cases. Mr. Rosen continues to educate himself in the law and practice representing those accused of crimes by regularly attending conferences and seminars, and by continuing to help people clear their records. He has taught at several conferences relating to criminal law,and he has testified in front of the State Legislature about changes in the DUI laws.

Mr. Rosen believes that those facing a criminal record deserve a thorough defense from an attorney who will do everything possible to defend their rights. Getting charged with a crime is possibly the most stressful and terrifying event a person will ever experience. Being arrested and accused of a crime can bring humiliation on the roadside, at the police precinct, in the courtroom, and even years later during job interviews and background checks. Mr. Rosen knows that, in addition to all of the immediate penalties, a conviction for any crime cancreate a permanent criminal record which can follow a person for the rest of his or her life.

Mr. Rosen is a member of several legal organizations, which provide him even more resources with which to represent you. His membership includes the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys, the King County Bar Association, the Washington State Bar Association, and NORML.

Mr. Rosen is also a part time judge for the City of Black Diamond, Washington.  Being both an advocate and a judicial officer gives Mr. Rosen great insight into how the criminal justice system works.
