“Over the course of two years, John and his team fought on my behalf while I was confined within custody. Their work was extreme and truly led them into war, consisting of countless individual battles crossing three international borders, 10 states, and dozens of counties. They did the impossible, resolving my case in a “global resolutions” of all counts into a single State Case and a single Federal Case, with both sentences not only running concurrently but achieving the lowest possible point in the standard sentencing range. I was arrested at age 19 and was free at the age of 25, having served just over six years - when many speculated I would not be released until after the age of 40... John and Emma saved my life, and it is my life I owe to them. ”
“I can say without doubt had we gone with another attorney, my family would be without a father and a husband for much longer than 33 months.” – Her husband was facing 11 to 14 years in prison.

Now offered in paperback
In the tradition of bestselling legal memoirs from Johnnie Cochran, F. Lee Bailey, Gerry Spence, and Alan Dershowitz, John Henry Browne's memoir, The Devil's Defender, recounts his tortuous education in what it means to be an advocate—and a human being. For the last four decades, the Seattle-based criminal defense lawyer has defended the indefensible. From Facebook folk hero "the Barefoot Bandit" Colton Harris-Moore, to Benjamin Ng of the Wah Mee massacre, to Kandahar massacre culprit Sgt. Robert Bales, Browne has stood at the forefront of our national debate over the death penalty, putting on trial our most base and violent instincts—and the institutional deficiencies that let our most vulnerable fall through the cracks. His unceasing advocacy and the daring to take on some of the most unwinnable cases—and nearly win them all—has led 48 Hours' Peter Van Sant to call him "the most famous lawyer in America."But although the Browne that America has come to know cuts a dashing and confident figure, he has forever been haunted by his job as counsel to Ted Bundy, the most famous serial killer in American history. A formerly drug- and alcohol-addicted (yet wildly successful) defense attorney who could never let go of the case that started it all, Browne here traces the roots of his discontent as well as his dedication, asking himself the question others have asked him all along: Does defending evil make you evil, too?
Just Because They Said You Did It, Doesn’t Mean They Can Prove It
There’s a reason you have a right to remain silent. When you get arrested, there’s a huge chance you’re going to panic.

Do not trust what the police are telling you. Take a breath and don’t say a word – except this:
“I have the right to hire an attorney. I would like to call The Law Offices of John Henry Browne, PLLC.”
