I started my career with the Colorado Public Defender’s office where I rose to the position of Senior Deputy Public Defender. I successfully defended clients at over 3 dozen jury trials, including charges of DUI, assault, felony theft, first degree murder, second-degree murder and complete acquittal on a self-defense murder case.

In 2021, I made the Pacific Northwest home. I joined the Snohomish County Public Defender Association (SCPDA) as a Class A qualified felony attorney and successfully defended all levels of felonies. My clients won well-deserved dismissals and acquittals on charges including failure to register, felony assaults and second-degree rape. My clients avoided first-degree murder convictions in three different cases, two by not guilty verdicts. 

In 2023, I started litigating Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI) cases, where clients are civilly committed after acquittal. This litigation has a major impact on people's liberty and the community as a whole because of how costly NGRI commitments can be.

After more than a decade as a public defender, 45 jury trials and hundreds of hearings with great success, I started Chase Law PLLC. Here I fight for my clients’ rights, stand up for constitutional principles and demand integrity and accountability from people in positions of power.
