About Traffic Ticket Defense Attorney Antone “Tony” Weber

“As an attorney with a varied life experience both personally and professionally prior to entering the legal field,  I feel that I have a unique perspective which allows me to better understand the concerns and needs of my clients, and to secure the best possible outcome for them.”

Legal Practice

I began practicing law in 2005, when I became the lead courtroom infractions attorney for a large law firm.  While mostly working in courts around the Puget Sound, I did on occasion travel to courts in Eastern Washington such as in Grant County, Whitman County, Okanogan, Kittitas and Yakima.  I also traveled north to Whatcom county, and south to courts in Pacific, Cowlitz, Clark and Klickatat Counties, which gave me not only extensive experience in different courts, but allowed me to experience many different areas of Washington State.

In 2016 I opened my own practice, primarily focusing on traffic violations and expanding to criminal traffic violations.  My office is in Seattle as a centeral location, but I appear throughout Skagit, Snohomish, King, Pierce and Thurston counties.  I primarily practicing in moving traffic infractions such as speeding, failure to yield, speed to fast for conditions, or unsafe lane changes; criminal traffic matters such as reckless driving, suspended licenses, or hit and run, and am a member of the Washington State Bar Association, licensed to practice in State and Municipal courts throughout Washington.

Education

In 2001, I returned to the Pacific Northwest after 19 years in Alaska to enter the Seattle University School of Law, graduating in 2004 at the age of 47.  I had previously earned dual Bachelor of Arts degrees with honors, in Political Science and in History, from the University of Alaska, Anchorage, while in my 30s. 

Background

I was raised on a cattle ranch 15 miles outside the small town of Lakeview, in South-Eastern Oregon, spending much of my childhood in the outdoors of the Oregon High Desert.  Summers were spent on the ranch, while we bought a house in town when my sister and I started kindergarten.  I graduated from Lakeview High School in 1975.

Following High School I spent the next few years traveling,  living and working overseas in New Zealand, Australia, Asia and Europe.  Upon returning to the United States, I lived in South Lake Tahoe, California, for 4 years pursuing my passion for skiing and the outdoors.

In 1982 I went to Alaska to work for the summer, and wound up remaining in Anchorage for the next two decades.  I worked in varied seasonal industries such as construction, heavy equipment and truck operation; as a delivery driver for UPS, DHL and Airborne Express; and taxi driving.  While attending college in my 30s, I began working as a computer technician caring for the statewide ATM network at the data center for First National Bank of Alaska, the largest bank in the state.  Along the way I caught copious amounts of fish, hiked, skied and mountain biked some of the most pristine wilderness on the continent, and experienced the odd bear encounter and bit of frostbite.

When my bank position was due to be eliminated due to technological developments, after some consideration I decided to attend Law School, choosing to return to my native Pacific Northwest, where I remain.
