    Tony made this experience very easy and understanding for me. Tony has helped me and my boyfriend with our tickets, and the both of us are very satisfied with his work and professionalism.

    Tony informed me in my initial consultation of what I could expect from him and went over the possible outcomes for my situation, from worst to best case scenario. He's friendly, easy to talk to, and answered my questions. I didn't have to go to the court and Tony personally called me afterward to give me the results.

    Tony was great in getting my traffic violation amended to a non-moving violation! Which meant it did not increase my insurance rates! I would definitely recommend Tony Garguile.

Attorney Information

Overview

Tony Garguile helps everyday people protect their licenses, livelihoods, and peace of mind. Whether it’s fighting a DUI, Reckless Driving charge, or a simple traffic ticket, Tony believes that one action does not define who you are. Since founding Garguile DUI & Traffic Lawyers, he has helped over 30,000 drivers across Western Washington navigate the legal system with confidence and dignity.

Tony understands that facing a legal issue can feel overwhelming. That’s why he focuses on simplifying the process, providing honest answers, and offering practical solutions tailored to each client’s unique situation. From day one, his mission has been to create a firm where clients feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way.

Tony’s legal journey began at the Kitsap and Spokane County Prosecutor’s Offices, where he gained firsthand insight into how cases are prosecuted. He later transitioned into private defense, managing one of Washington State’s largest traffic infraction departments before founding Garguile DUI & Traffic Lawyers in 2017. This dual experience gives him a rare perspective, enabling him to anticipate and counter prosecution strategies effectively.

At Garguile DUI & Traffic Lawyers, Tony leads with a client-first approach. He believes in empowering clients by explaining their options clearly and helping them move forward without fear or judgment. His firm is built on values like honest expectations, proactive solutions, and personalized attention to each case. Clients trust Tony to handle their legal issues with compassion and precision, always striving for the best possible outcome.

Tony’s commitment to his clients has earned him numerous accolades, including being named the Best Criminal Defense Attorney in Pierce County and the Best DUI Lawyer in the PNW. Beyond his case results, he’s proud of the relationships he builds with clients, many of whom return to him or refer friends and family because of the exceptional care they receive.

When he’s not advocating for his clients, Tony cherishes time with his wife and young son in Gig Harbor, WA. A lifelong Husky fan, Tony loves cheering for the University of Washington football and basketball and supporting the Seattle Seahawks and Mariners. He also enjoys exploring local restaurants. His down-to-earth nature and deep commitment to his community make him an exceptional attorney and someone clients feel comfortable turning to during tough times.
