Woori Cheh

Woori graduated from the Gonzaga University’s School of Law in 2011. As a third-year law student, Woori obtained a position as an APR 9 prosecutor with the Skagit County Prosecuting Attorney’s office and assisted in criminal prosecution on district court matters. Woori successfully tried cases as the lead prosecutor on several DUI related matters during his time as an APR 9 with Skagit County.  Upon graduation, Woori was offered a position with a prestigious law firm overseas doing transactional work with foreign contracts but declined as his true passion was in criminal defense work. 

After passing the Washington State Bar, Woori began working in public criminal defense for clients out of Everett Municipal Court.  He tried numerous cases often resulting in his clients being acquitted by a jury on charges including DUI, Assaults, and other offenses.  In 2015, Woori left public defense and started his career in private practice where he has excelled and expanded his repertoire of experience to include serious felony matters ranging from violent offenses, felony assaults, drug charges, and white-collar crimes.  Woori does not find himself uncomfortable in unfamiliar situations. He is adept at analyzing facts and circumstances and applying them to defend his clients to the best of his ability.

As a ”Presumption of Innocence” is a foundational element in any criminal matter, Woori always demonstrates a continuous and passionate method in exhausting all legal theories to ensure that each client receives a robust, professional and fair opportunity to fight each allegation and accusation. As a result, Woori has developed his skills as a strong advocate for his clients and formidable adversary against the prosecution.  This approach has resulted in many successful resolutions on various criminal matters.

Woori always puts his clients first.  He listens well and does his best to find the angles to serve their defense.  His arguments are well organized, and he has gained the respect of both the prosecution bar as well as the bench and is regarded as a strong legal advocate.

Woori has proven himself as a strong leader in his community.  He works with several youth groups and tutors graduating teens in preparation for the SAT.  He is a talented musician that plays multiple instruments and whose troupe has been invited to play cultural events throughout the world.  He has harnessed his dedication and discipline to achieve a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and can do the splits on demand.
