Defense Lawyers Who Fight Back

“David LaCross knows what to do to win!”

- Annette Hutchins
When you’re charged with a crime, it can feel like the whole world is against you.

Law enforcement doesn’t care whether you’re guilty or not.

The government wants to see you behind bars.

And many lawyers are either too busy or too greedy to properly handle your case.

You want someone who knows how to listen to your story – and you want someone who knows how to WIN.

At LaCross & Murphy, we have a reputation for fighting the good fight. We have decades of experience fighting to protect our clients’ freedom, and we work constantly to become the best criminal defense trial lawyers we can be.

People from all walks of life get taken advantage of by the system.

Let us help you fight back.

In addition to our criminal defense work, we also take Personal Injury cases, helping our clients stand up against entities who have caused them life-altering harm.

Meet the Attorneys

David LaCross

David has been recognized by his community as the best criminal defense attorney in Kitsap County for numerous years. A member of the National College for DUI Defense, he is certified in standardized field sobriety tests. He has also been trained in the Advanced Detection of DUI, and the processes that crime labs use to test blood.

Jacob Paul Murphy

Jacob has represented clients on felonies from simple possession of narcotics or property offenses to sexual assault, third strike, and murder charges. He has also been defense counsel for the Kitsap County Adult Drug Court for over a decade and is a defense counsel for the recently-established Veteran’s Treatment Court.

Greta Coleman

A Kitsap County native, Greta’s competitive nature first bloomed as an athlete at Kingston High. This, along with her dedication to being someone people can talk to and trust through life’s toughest moments, led her to the legal field. After graduating from Gonzaga Law School, she worked at the Kitsap County Prosecutor’s Office, handling the entire DUI caseload and prosecuting felonies. But Greta saw beyond just a case to the person’s real story. Thinking about how she could help people, and knowing her prosecutorial experience would benefit her clients, she determined her true calling was criminal defense. She wanted to get away from the numbers game of being a prosecutor, or an overworked public defender, so she decided on private practice, knowing this would allow her the ability to dedicate her time, competitive nature, and skills to each person she represents. Greta is passionate about being her clients’ fiercest advocate.

“From the moment I met David LaCross, he treated me like I was family. He took care of my case quickly and professionally. When I came in for the consultation, I didn't know what to do, where to go, and I didn't know anything about the process of how everything worked. Mr LaCross was able to talk me down off of the proverbial ledge so I didn't feel like my whole world was ending. If you ever need anyone to defend you and fight for you, he's your guy!”
