Details

Widely known for both her high-profile cases and her appearances as a legal analyst on major broadcast networks, Anne M. Bremner is the founder of her eponymous law firm based in Seattle, Washington. She focuses her practice largely on civil litigation and criminal defense matters, and her successful track record and high degree of ethics have earned her the respect of her colleagues, as evidenced by her receipt of an AV Preeminent* peer review rating through Martindale-Hubbell and a 10.0 "Superb" peer review rating through Avvo.

Prior to entering private practice, Ms. Bremner spent several years as an attorney with the Criminal Division of the King County Prosecutor's Office, where her caseload consisted largely of prosecuting people who had been accused by the state of having committed sex crimes. She obtained successful outcomes in more than 200 cases overall, and she now takes this experience into account when she is anticipating the types of tactics that she might face in her criminal defense practice. Ms. Bremner's current caseload also encompasses civil rights, police brutality, personal injury and wrongful death litigation, and real estate title and escrow disputes. Her clients have included the famous magician and illusionist David Copperfield, the Des Moines Police Department, and the family members of a missing person whose disappearance made national news.

As an undergraduate, Ms. Bremner attended Stanford University, where she majored in history and received a Bachelor of Arts with honors in 1980. She then pursued her legal education at what was then known as the University of Puget Sound School of Law and was awarded her Juris Doctor in 1982. After her tenure as a prosecutor, Ms. Bremner was a partner at a Seattle firm before opening Anne Bremner PC in 1982.
