Celia Lesh - Olympia, WA

For most people, a stable life relies on three things: family, finances, and freedom. Facing a criminal charge or a major traffic infraction can suddenly jeopardize those priorities. As a dedicated advocate at Garguile DUI & Traffic Lawyers, Celia Lesh focuses her practice on protecting her clients' futures, their licenses, and their peace of mind. Celia works hard to ensure that every single one of her clients feels comfortable, heard, and fiercely protected during one of the most stressful chapters of their life.

Celia’s passion for legal defense began early. As a young student in Whatcom County, Washington, she spent her free time observing local criminal proceedings. Enamored by the legal arguments and driven by deep empathy for the accused, Celia knew her calling was to defend individuals caught in the legal system. Today, she brings her unstoppable commitment to every criminal and traffic case she handles, possessing a unique ability to see the best in people and to present their story accordingly.

A high-achiever from the start, Celia graduated from the University of Washington at age 19 with a double major in Law, Societies, & Justice and Sociology. After gaining valuable experience in the business sector, building a brand identity and global supply chains, she earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of Massachusetts School of Law. Before joining the powerhouse team at Garguile DUI & Traffic Lawyers, Celia honed her courtroom skills across the legal spectrum—working with the Federal Public Defenders, Thurston County Public Defense, and three prominent private criminal defense firms. Celia knows how the prosecution thinks, and she knows how to find the flaws in their case.

Outside the courtroom, Celia stays connected to her Pacific Northwest roots. She is an avid runner, hiker, and camper—often with her dog leading the way on the trails—and enjoys spending time with friends, baking desserts, and creating intricate three-dimensional cards.

If you are facing a DUI charge or a traffic ticket in Western Washington, Celia Lesh and the experienced team at Garguile DUI & Traffic Lawyers are here to protect your license, minimize the consequences, and take the anxiety out of the legal process.
