Big Law Firm Experience. Small Law Firm Price.

Chris Maryatt attended Vassar College, where he was a double major in political science and music, before enrolling in Seattle University School of Law. He was a teaching assistant in both college and law school, the latter of which he attended with the help of a prestigious Presidential Scholarship. Chris developed an interest in criminal law very early in law school, and spent two summers interning for the prosecutor’s office in Anchorage, where he was able to combine his love for the outdoors with courtroom litigation. He also wrote for the Seattle Journal for Social Justice law journal while during his later years in law school, and wrote a forty page analysis of the landmark state Supreme Court case, Anderson v. King County.

After graduating from law school, he has worked for a variety of prosecutor’s offices, including the City of Seattle, King County, and Snohomish County. During that time, he handled thousands of traffic infractions, thousands of misdemeanors, and hundreds of felonies. He now handles criminal matters for the Law Offices of Heidi Hunt, and draws on his relationships with attorneys on both sides of the aisle and his experience as a prosecutor to achieve the best results. Chris continues to write, and is the editor of the Washington State Bar Association’s Criminal Law Section publication. He has served on the Executive Committee of the Criminal Law Section, and is the only member of the current leadership to switch from representing prosecution to defense while remaining uninterrupted on the board.

In his free time, Chris still enjoys music, playing the piano and writing music. He also continues to enjoy the outdoors. He has climbed Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens, and has a goal of climbing all of the major volcanoes in the cascade range. When he cannot hike in the winter due to the weather, he enjoys snowboarding.
