108 East Mill Plain Boulevard Vancouver, WA 98660 - 3282
Andrews Terry Jeffers LLP
Vancouver DUI / Driving Under the Influence Defense Lawyer
Overview
My legal practice is focused primarily on defending people who have been criminally accused. I also handle civil, domestic, and administrative litigation that may involve situations involving high conflict, injury, or criminal allegations.
I grew up in California and attended California State University – Bakersfield, where I earned a degree in Communications (Journalism), with a minor in Spanish. I then attended Law School at Western Michigan University – Cooley Law School, in Lansing, MI, where I graduated cum laude. In law school, I was on the Cooley Law Review, I volunteered as an advocate for Lansing Teen Court, and I did an internship at the Eaton County (MI) Prosecuting Attorney’s Office – Economic Crimes Unit. Additionally, during my last term of law school, I did a satellite externship at the Clark County (WA) Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. I am now a partner at Morse Busby Andrews & Terry LLP.
When I am not practicing law, I enjoy listening to and playing music, getting outdoors, biking, and spending time with friends and family.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
