Celia Lesh

For many people, the three most important things in life are: family, finances, and health. However, when someone has a legal case pending against them, the legal proceeding often becomes paramount. Celia endeavors to ensure that every single one of her clients feels comfortable, heard, respected, and informed during one of the most challenging periods of their life.

Early on, Celia Lesh knew that she wanted to dedicate her life to the practice of law, and that has been her focus ever since. When Celia was school aged, she started observing criminal case proceedings at her local courthouse in Whatcom County, Washington. Enthralled by the legal arguments and filled with empathy for those accused of crimes, Celia knew the purpose of her life: to defend individuals caught in the legal system. She has an unstoppable ability to see the best in people and to tell their story accordingly.

Celia earned a double major in Law, Societies, Justice and Sociology from the University of Washington, graduating with a B.A. when she was 19 years old. After working for a private company, where she created a brand identity and a global supply chain, Celia moved to Massachusetts to attend the University of Massachusetts School of Law. Upon earning her Juris Doctorate law degree, Celia returned to Washington to help individuals in her home-state. Celia has worked for the Federal Public Defenders, Thurston County Public Defense, and three private criminal defense law firms handling a wide variety of complex criminal cases.

Outside of work, Celia enjoys spending time with her family, running, hiking, camping, riding her motorcycle, creating intricate three-dimensional pop-up cards, baking, listening to music, gardening, and sharing time with friends.
