BIOGRAPHY
Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney | Former Spokane County Prosecutor | 31 Years of Legal Experience
For more than 30 years, attorney Chris Bugbee has dedicated his career to the criminal justice system, first as a Spokane County prosecutor and now as an experienced criminal defense attorney representing individuals throughout Spokane and the surrounding communities.
Chris began his legal career in 1995 as a prosecuting attorney for Spokane County, where he spent six years gaining valuable courtroom and trial experience. His background as a former prosecutor gives him a unique perspective on how criminal cases are investigated, prosecuted, and defended. Today, he uses that insight to build strong, strategic defenses for individuals facing DUI, misdemeanor, and felony charges.
After transitioning into criminal defense, Chris built his practice on a simple belief: everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion, regardless of the charges they face. He understands that being accused of a crime can be overwhelming and works to provide clients with the guidance, reassurance, and aggressive representation they need during a difficult time.
What sets Chris apart is his commitment to personal attention. Unlike larger firms where clients may have limited contact with their attorney, Chris works directly with the individuals he represents. He makes himself accessible to clients 24/7, ensuring they have someone to turn to when questions or concerns arise. Every case receives his personal attention, careful preparation, and dedication to pursuing the best possible outcome.
Chris earned his Juris Doctor from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, in 1995 and was admitted to the Washington State Bar that same year. He is a member of both the Washington State Bar Association and the Idaho State Bar Association and has received favorable peer reviews on Avvo and Martindale-Hubbell.
For Chris, criminal defense is more than a profession. It’s about protecting people’s rights, helping them through difficult circumstances, and giving them the opportunity to move forward. When you hire Bugbee Law Office, P.S., you work directly with an attorney who genuinely cares about your future and is committed to standing by your side every step of the way.
