45+ Years
Of Combined Experience
Court & Michelle Will are a husband & wife criminal defense firm with over 45 years of combined experience. They have successfully resolved thousands of cases and truly care about each and every one of their clients. They keep a manageable caseload and work tirelessly to ensure their clients are receiving the best possible outcome.
Michelle was a former prosecutor and first met Court when he was a defense attorney in Southern California. After getting married, they immediately launched Will & Will in California. Success came quickly. Their dynamic and thorough approach to the practice of law resulted in excellent results for their clients and a lot of local and national publicity.
Despite having a thriving practice in California, neither Michelle nor Court had any real roots there. Rather, Court was born and raised in Tacoma, and always wanted to move back home to the great Pacific Northwest. They ultimately did move back to the Seattle area and re-opened Will & Will here. They now proudly fight for the accused and injured throughout Washington State.
Court was born and raised in Tacoma and has had an interest in the legal system ever since he can remember. While he always knew he would ultimately make his home in the Pacific Northwest, the draw of the sun and surf beckoned him to Southern California where he completed his undergraduate and law degree at Pepperdine University.
Following internships at multiple Prosecutor’s offices, the FBI, and the United States Attorney’s Offices, Court initially decided to stay in Southern California after school and cut his teeth as a criminal defense attorney in the trenches of the most overburdened court system in the country.
Court has represented thousands of clients from all walks of life for everything from misdemeanors to serious/violent felonies. Court also developed a specialty representing those accused of sex crimes through his involvement with Dateline NBC’s To Catch A Predator show. He was the first attorney in the country to take one of these cases to trial. Read about Court’s success with this first case here.
After spending many years focusing on criminal defense, Court and Michelle expanded into personal injury law. With close family members that have suffered from lifelong injuries after car accidents, this is an area of law that is close to Court’s heart. As a result, he works tirelessly to ensure his clients get every penny they deserve from the insurance companies.
No matter what area of law, Court thoroughly enjoys the challenge of taking cases to jury trial whenever it’s in his client’s best interest, and he has conducted countless jury trials with great success.

Once she realized she was more well suited for the faster paced lifestyle of the courtroom, Michelle turned her focus to criminal law and became a Deputy District Attorney for the County of San Bernardino.
In this role, she handled hundreds of cases monthly, prosecuted many criminal trials to verdict, and successfully argued all types of evidentiary hearings.
For the past 20 years, Michelle has been using the winning skills she developed as a prosecutor toward helping her clients. Her innate talents at negotiation and unwavering determination ensure her clients are receiving the best possible outcome in each and every case she handles.
She continues to look forward to working side by side with her husband day in and day out to help her clients through all types of difficult situations.
Margarita has worked in the legal field for over 22 years. She started out working for her mentor in New York City who practiced Estate, Probate, and Real Estate Law.
In 2005, she moved to Seattle with her family and took a break from the legal field to raise her sons. A few years later she rejoined the workforce as a legal administrator for a small criminal/civil firm. She learned how to create office systems and managed the attorney’s day to day.
From there, Margarita moved on to work in creditor’s law, and then as a legal administrator for an immigration firm. In that position, she grew the firm’s practice, created office systems, met with clients, and worked on cases. Her time in immigration law helped her realize how much she enjoys helping people and working directly with clients.
As the primary legal assistant to Michelle and Court, Margarita has been an integral part of Will & Will for several years. She continues to enjoy being hands-on with the firm’s clients, and having a positive impact in their lives as they deal with challenging situations; she prides herself on being a part of the support system for clients. She appreciates working in a collaborative environment where she is not seen as support staff, but as an equal and part of a team.

Great experience with them during a difficult time. Will and Margarita took a nightmare situation for me and my family and resolved it to a great resolution for everyone involved.

I am so grateful to Michelle Will, Court Will, and Margarita for helping my dad resolve his case so quickly and favorably. From the very beginning, they put us at ease and took the stress off our shoulders. Michelle is extremely diligent and detail-oriented. From the first phone call, she carefully explained the process, potential outcomes, and what steps we needed to take before and after the arraignment. She also went over court documents in detail with my dad, making sure he fully understood everything. Her knowledge, precision, and clear strategy gave us confidence from start to finish. The Will & Will team works seamlessly together. When Michelle was busy, Court was able to step in and represent my dad in court, ensuring nothing was ever delayed. Margarita was proactive and thorough in her communications. She's always quick to reach out by email, phone, or text to keep us updated every step of the way. They were also very accommodating with our busy schedules, which made the whole process much easier. Thanks to their hard work, the no-contact order was lifted almost entirely, allowing our family to stay together and move forward happily. Michelle’s negotiations led to a very favorable outcome, and the entire case is scheduled to be dismissed much faster than we ever expected. When we first looked at lawyers, we spoke with dozens. Some claimed to know judges or prosecutors personally, but what mattered most to us was finding someone who was truly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and focused on results. Michelle and her team exceeded our expectations in every way. Although their services were an investment, I firmly believe it was worth every penny. I am thankful for their payment plan. The Will & Will team made everything simple and straightforward: no frills, just results. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a strong, caring, and effective defense team.Posted on Richard KSeptember 30, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you need legal advice, Court and Margarita are the team you can trust. They truly listened, showed compassion and understood the urgency of our situation. Thanks to Court’s expertise and guidance, our situation was resolved in the best possible way. We are forever grateful.Posted on Isaac NelsonSeptember 12, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Court and Margarita enough for what they did for me. After receiving a federal ticket due to a misunderstanding on my part, I felt completely unsure, uneasy, and honestly afraid for my future due to my job requiring a clean record. I have never got in trouble for anything like this before in my life and I was honestly scared and lost. But Court’s professionalism and Margarita’s outstanding communication changed everything. From the very beginning, they were clear, patient, and made me feel heard. Margarita kept me updated with compassion and consistency, while Court’s guidance and expertise gave me the confidence to keep moving forward. In one of the hardest times of my life, they not only fought for me, but calmed me, reassured me, and ultimately gave me back my peace of mind. Because of their hard work, my case was dismissed. That outcome truly gave me my life back, and I will be forever grateful for the tremendous weight they lifted off my shoulders. If you’re looking for people who genuinely care, communicate with honesty, and fight for you every step of the way, Court and Margarita are exactly who you need. Once again, thank you Court and Margarita for everything you did for me.Posted on Tanya HSeptember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted about ten attorneys before finding Michelle. Each had different styles and prices, but I knew immediately after speaking with her that she was the right choice. Michelle explained every detail clearly and thoroughly, and I felt I could trust her from the very first. She provided a detailed list of exactly what information she needed, with clear instructions that made the process smooth and reassuring. Michelle was always responsive, and Margarita was also warm, timely, and supportive throughout the case. Most importantly, the outcome was better than I could have ever imagined — truly the best result possible. I am beyond grateful for Michelle’s expertise, professionalism, and dedication. She is simply the best of the best, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of legal help.Posted on Edward GogaSeptember 11, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Court and his team has been a pleasure. They have been showing care, professionalism, and a sense of urgency to get the best possible outcome. Would hire again if needed.
