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.
Court practiced throughout Los Angeles and surrounding counties for nearly a decade before moving back to Washington. Reopening WILL & WILL in the Northwest several years ago was a thrill for Court and he is happy to have the opportunity to represent both the accused and injured in his home state. Your constitutional rights are inalienable and Court protects them every step of the way.
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.
EXCELLENT Based on 142 reviews Posted on Client JMay 5, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Court and his team did a phenomenal job in representing me when I was at my lowest point I’d ever been. Court was readily available at every crucial juncture of my case and negotiated a deal that allowed me to remain with my family throughout it all. His paralegal Margarita was equally phenomenal. She answered every question and concern I had after the case and during my probationary period and when it came to moving for dismissal she kept me posted with weekly updates and walked me through every step right until it was finally resolved. I never doubted for a second that both Court and Margarita had only my best interests at heart and fight tirelessly for me every second of my case, it is not an exaggeration to say their hard work has given me a whole new lease on life.Posted on HakimMay 1, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by Margarita and attorney Michelle Will. Their handling of my case was exceptional. I was particularly impressed with their outstanding communication, which kept me informed and supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of professional and effective legal representation.Posted on R TApril 9, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently found ourselves dealing with a legal matter that came up unexpectedly, and we had no idea where to begin or who to contact. Without any referrals, we found Michelle online and decided to reach out, not knowing if we will hear back. She responded to our call the same day we left a message on the general line and quickly connected us with Margarita. Everything moved forward right away, which made a huge difference during an uncertain time. Michelle was incredibly thorough and knowledgeable. She took the time to clearly walk us through each step, making sure we understood what to expect and how to prepare. Her attention to detail and thoughtful guidance gave us confidence throughout the entire process. Everything unfolded exactly as she had explained in court. There were no surprises, and the process was quick and efficient thanks to her preparation beforehand. Margarita was excellent with communication—responsive, organized, and always keeping us informed. She was in sync with Michelle with all steps we were taking to prepare for court and she is a key figure to their operation. Since English is not the defendant's first language, we especially appreciated how patient and clear both Michelle and Margarita were. They made sure everything was easy to understand, and their awareness of cultural differences really helped avoid confusion during a complex situation. We’re very grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and knowledgeable legal representation.Posted on H BApril 9, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When our elderly parents with declining health faced an unexpected legal situation, we were overwhelmed. One parent’s struggle with Alzheimer’s made the circumstances even more daunting, and we had never navigated the legal system before. Michelle proved indispensable, precisely outlining what to expect and advising beginning court-required courses in advance. When the pre-trial arrived, everything unfolded exactly as she had explained, greatly easing our initial worries. Margarita’s prompt communication ensured we were always informed. The pre-trial was remarkably brief due to Michelle and Margarita’s thorough preparation. Prior to meeting Michelle, we consulted another attorney who attempted to overcharge and needlessly alarm us. Unlike this other attorney, Michelle’s integrity and guidance were a welcome relief. We are deeply grateful to Michelle and Margarita and highly recommend their services.Posted on Alicia SingletonApril 9, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
