About

Law Offices of Michael D. Sheehan is a dedicated traffic ticket defense practice serving Washington State drivers from its Bellevue location. For nearly three decades, Attorney Mike Sheehan has devoted his law practice exclusively to fighting traffic citations in courts throughout the state, earning a 5-star rating from over 830 clients.

Since 1995, Sheehan has secured dismissals for more than 30,000 drivers, protecting their driving records, insurance rates, and driving privileges. A longtime Washington resident who graduated from Whitman College and Seattle University School of Law, Sheehan brings deep knowledge of state traffic laws and the practical experience that comes from appearing in more than 50 courts statewide. Over his 25 years practicing traffic defense, he has built professional relationships with judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement throughout Washington—relationships that inform his strategy in each case.

Sheehan's approach centers on securing the best possible outcome for his clients: a complete dismissal. When a judge dismisses a ticket, it does not appear on the driver's record, does not trigger insurance rate increases, and does not expose the driver to Department of Licensing action. In contrast to many defense attorneys who quickly accept plea bargains to amend moving violations to non-moving violations, Sheehan prepares each case thoroughly for court and advocates for dismissal rather than settlement. While an amendment may keep a moving violation off a record, it typically requires the client to pay court fines and attorney fees. A dismissal eliminates those costs entirely, saving clients between $100 and $300 per case in addition to protecting their records without compromise.

Sheehan represents drivers charged with speeding, infractions, and other traffic violations across Washington. He offers all prospective clients a free consultation and provides statewide coverage. His firm prides itself on friendly, respectful, and prompt service; clients consistently report that his staff makes the process straightforward and stress-free.
