About George L. Bianchi

GEORGE BIANCHI: Founded in 1960 by Alfred J. Bianchi, The Bianchi Law Firm first began emphasizing DUI defense. After graduating from law school, George was told by his father that the firm could not afford for George to learn at their client’s expense, so George was ultimately hired by the King County Prosecutor’s Office. George was finally allowed to join the law firm in 1985 and has since become recognized as an innovator in the defense of DUI and other alcohol/drug-related crimes. George has lectured at numerous CLE programs throughout the United States concerning DUI defense and has been lead counsel in a number of cases resolving significant criminal law issues.

Since 1999, Martindale-Hubbell has awarded him with their highest accolade, an AV rating in the legal profession, which he currently maintains.
