Christine M. Bennett, Criminal Defense

After growing up in Oregon, I moved to the East Coast where I attended the University of Virginia and graduated with a cum laude distinction. After college, I spent six months in South America and studied the language and had an internship with Habitat For Humanity in La Paz, Bolivia. Upon returning home, I graduated from University of Richmond School of Law with cum laude distinction. Upon graduating I moved back to the West Coast where I had an internship with the Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office and worked in the felony drug division. I then moved to the Tri Cities after being offered a position at the Prosecutor’s Office where I handled adult felony cases. I have argued before the Court of Appeals and have handled hundreds of cases in District and Superior Court. Since 2012, I have been practicing criminal defense and am accepting clients throughout Oregon and Southeastern Washington.
