Ransom Law

Criminal Defense
Attorney Alexander Ransom is an aggressive, experienced and effective criminal defense attorney with a superior grasp of forensics and a superior defense.
DUI/DWI
DUI charges are some of the most litigated in Washington courts. Special interest groups constantly lobby our legislatures for harsher penalties. Also, the science behind DUI detection continues to evolve. Finally, Washington State allows adults to legally possess small quantities of marijuana. All of these competing interests – and more – allow Prosecutors to charge defendants with many variations of DUI. The specific charges depend upon the substance ingested, the age of the defendant, their actual control of the vehicle, prior criminal history, etc.
Traffic Violations
We all enjoy our cars. Unfortunately, it’s far too easy in today’s pro-prosecutorial law enforcement climate to obtain Reckless Driving charges. One can be charged with Reckless Driving for racing another vehicle, embracing a loved one while driving, aggressively passing a slower driver, being distracted and/or allegedly creating a circumstance which allegedly creates a dangerous situation for other motorists.
Sex Crimes
Sex offenses are some of the most damaging criminal charges one could possibly face. These crime carries serious penalties. Convictions bring prison sentences, sexual deviancy treatment, registration requirements and negative public stigma. Sexual assault convictions also limit future job opportunities and possibly prevent people from seeing their families. The effects are devastating.
Fraud
Identity Theft is a very common white-collar crime in Washington State. Identity Theft is defined as knowingly obtaining, possessing, using, or transferring a means of identification or financial information of another person, living or dead, with the intent to commit, or to aid or abet, any crime. Some examples of Identity Theft may include mail fraud, opening a bank account or forging a check in another person’s name, illegally obtaining and using another’s credit card, debit card, or social security card without lawful authority and/or fraudulent wire transfers or electronic money transfers.
Robbery
Robbery is one of the most seriously prosecuted crimes in Washington. Under Washington law, it is both a crime of violence and a theft. These crimes threaten public safety. They are also “strike offenses” under Washington’s 3-strikes laws.
Burglary
All criminal charges are serious matters with life-changing repercussions. When defendants are accused of something as serious as Burglary, the stakes are even higher.
White Collar Crimes
Experienced criminal defense attorney Alexander F. Ransom practices felony and misdemeanor defense in Whatcom County, Skagit County and surrounding cities and towns. He specializes in DUI/DWI and all Alcohol Related Driving Charges, Domestic Violence, Drug Offenses, Violent Crimes, Sex Offenses, Property Crimes, Robbery, Burglary, Firearm Crimes, Reckless Driving, Reckless Endangerment, Minor in Possession, Disorderly Conduct, Felonies, Misdemeanors and White Collar Crimes.
Theft
Misdemeanors
In addition to Harassment, Stalking charges typically involve a victim and offender who were romantically involved. If so, a domestic relationship will be established and the crime will have a Domestic Violence designation. Also, depending on the facts, Stalking can be filed as a felony or a gross misdemeanor in Washington State. It is not uncommon for both charges of Stalking and Harassment to be filed simultaneously.
Drug Crimes
The government is dedicated to investigating and prosecuting drug charges. They conduct surveillance on suspects, closely monitor their whereabouts, use confidential informants to gain evidence against defendants, wiretap one-on-one conversations, record phone conversations, confiscate suspects’ computers and videotape drug transactions. When ready to arrest, police obtain search warrants and perform surprise drug raids.
Assault
Assault charges are harrowing. Police officers and Prosecutors are often mistaken about who the aggressor was. Making matters worse, Prosecutors may add Deadly Weapon enhancements, Sexual Motivation enhancements and Domestic Violence enhancements if a weapon was allegedly, used, the offense involved sexual intent and/or if the alleged assault occurred against a family member, loved one or roommate.
Murder
A person is guilty of Rendering Criminal Assistance in the First Degree if he or she renders criminal assistance to a person who has committed or is being sought for murder in the first degree or any class A felony. This charge is a Class B Felony.
Identity Theft
A person commits Identity Theft in the First Degree if he commits identity theft and obtains credit, money, goods, services, or anything else of value in excess of $1,500 in value. Identity theft in the first degree is a Class B felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison, a maximum fine of $20,000, or both.
Homicide
A person is guilty of Homicide by Abuse if, under circumstances manifesting an extreme indifference to human life, the person causes the death of a child or person under sixteen years of age, a developmentally disabled person, or a dependent adult, and the person has previously engaged in a pattern or practice of assault or torture of said child, person under sixteen years of age, developmentally disabled person, or dependent person.
Arson
First Degree Arson occurs when one knowingly and with malicious intent causes a fire or explosion which is dangerous to another. It also happens if one causes a fire or explosion to a residence or a building where there is a person inside. Finally, a person be charged if they cause a fire to property valued over ten $10,000.00 dollars or more for the purpose of collecting insurance money.
Shoplifting
Property crimes – including Theft – are some of the most highly litigated charges in our courts today. Similar property crimes include Shoplifting, Larceny, Burglary and Robbery. If you are accused of a Theft crime, regardless of the value of the item or service involved, you must discuss your legal options with attorney Alexander Ransom as soon as possible.
Forgery
Forgery allegations can be devastating. Forged documents could significantly damage individuals, groups, businesses, or even government entities. Prosecutors take these charges very seriously and seek severe punishments. Consequences may include jail or prison time, significant court fines, probation, or restitution. Making matters worse, forgery convictions are crimes of dishonesty. They negatively impact a defendant’s criminal record and impact one’s ability to obtain housing or employment. It is important to hire a competent attorney like Alexander Ransom to reduce or dismiss forgery charges.
Kidnapping
Kidnapping and Unlawful Imprisonment charges are debilitating. The crime evokes images of abusive defendants holding innocent victims against their will. Also, the charges may involve domestic violence if the victim and defendant live together and/or were involved intimately. Fortunately, attorney Alexander Ransom understands that situations are not always what they seem. His efforts have received favorable verdicts and results for clients charged with kidnapping. Alexander provides the type of aggressive, experienced and effective representation his clients need to get kidnapping charges reduced or dismissed.
Manslaughter
A person is guilty of manslaughter in the first degree when he or she recklessly causes the death of another person; or intentionally and unlawfully kills an unborn quick child by inflicting any injury upon the mother of such child. Manslaughter in the First Degree is Degree is a Class A Felony punishable up to life imprisonment and a $50,000.00 fine.
Internet Crimes
The growing use of the internet has also brought the creation of “internet crime” charges. Cyberstalking charges are brought against defendants accused of using the internet to stalk others.
Prostitution
Because of the recent media attention – particularly, on the abuse surrounding exploited women forced into sexual servitude – prostitution is increasingly investigated by the authorities and harshly prosecuted. With the use of the internet, police regularly set up “sting” operations designed to capture prostitutes and their clientele. In the government’s eyes, nobody is innocent. The prostitutes, “Johns,” and “pimps” all face harsh penalties for engaging these activities.
Hit and Run
Hit & Run: If you were involved in an accident and were either arrested or charged with the crime of Hit and Run, attorney Alexander Ransom will fight to protect your rights.

Property Damage
Prosecutors and judges consider a number of issues in Malicious Mischief cases. Most important, they consider the value of the property damage and whether you were involved in a domestic violence relationship.
