About

Jared Ausserer brings over two decades of courtroom experience and a commitment to ensuring accused individuals receive vigorous defense. Raised in Pierce County, he attended Seattle University School of Law and began his public‑service career with a two‑year internship in the Pierce County juvenile prosecutor’s office before joining as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney. During his nearly twenty years there he served under three elected prosecutors and rose rapidly due to his trial prowess and analytical approach. As Team Chief of the Special Assault Unit he improved investigative collaboration, helped implement countywide protocols, and led training for nurses, caseworkers, and police. He later led the Homicide Division, overseeing all homicide and death investigations and coordinating with local and federal law enforcement, and then served as Chief Criminal Deputy supervising the entire Criminal Division. With additional rotations in DUI, robbery and assault, and gang units, Jared now leverages that inside knowledge to provide clients with experienced, strategic defense.
