I couldn’t ask for a better lawyer

Russell was so kind, professional, and respectful. He went above and beyond for me. I will recommend him to everyone that's in need of a lawyer.

—Rubye

Won my trial

Russel Lytle is a professional and highly competent attorney who took the time to prepare an excellent argument for my case which went to trial. He was great at keeping in contact and went the extra mile in his efforts. Would highly recommend.

—Breanna

Would highly recommend

Russell was very professional and easy to get in touch with. He helped me get the best outcome for both my cases. When I was nervous about approaching trial, he eased by nerves by explaining to me the most likely outcome (which turned out to be a highly reduced charge). Would definitely recommend.

—Drew

Straightforward and honest

From the very beginning, Russell was up front and honest with me about what was going on in my case and he did everything he said he was going to do for me. I fully recommend him to anyone coming into a court situation, he is honestly one who will fight for your rights and look at the actual situation.

A Criminal Defense Attorney Who Tells Your Story

I'm Russell Lytle, a criminal defense attorney in Wenatchee who knows that when you're facing criminal charges, you need someone who will actually listen and then fight to tell your side of what happened.

Most attorneys don't take the time to truly understand their clients' stories. I do. My role is to dig into every detail, understand what really occurred, and make sure the court hears your version of events, not just what's written in a police report designed to justify an arrest.

You'll never be left in the dark. I'll explain what's happening in plain language, keep you informed at every step, and build a defense around the truth of your situation.

Practice Areas

Domestic Violence

Defending against assault, malicious mischief, or other accusations, challenging protection orders, and protecting your rights.

DUI

Challenging traffic stops and test results, contesting DOL license suspensions, and defending your rights under Washington law.

Misdemeanors

Defending against simple and gross misdemeanor charges that can have lasting consequences you can't afford to ignore.

Personal Injury

Holding insurance companies accountable after car accidents and making sure you're not stuck paying for someone else's mistake.
