Nearly 30 years of combined criminal defense experience
A former Oregon prosecutor now fights on your side
More than 60 trials fought in the courtroom
A DUI arrest or criminal accusation in Camas can quickly affect driving, work, family contact, and the ability to plan ahead. The first paperwork may impose conditions or set a hearing before you have had time to understand the evidence. A prompt defense review can help separate urgent obligations from assumptions about what will happen next.
VanWa Legal's attorneys bring experience from prosecution and public defense, supported by courtroom and jury-trial preparation. They examine how evidence was obtained, explain the risks in plain language, and prepare for negotiation or litigation according to the facts. Clients also receive a defined fee discussion instead of uncertainty about how representation works.
Camas matters may use the shared Camas-Washougal Municipal Court or a Clark County court in Vancouver. Bring the current paperwork to a free consultation at VanWa's Vancouver office so the team can confirm the local filing context while focusing on the defense itself.
Why VanWa Legal
VanWa combines practical advice with the willingness to prepare a case for the courtroom, giving Camas clients a clear place to start.
Experience in prosecution and public defense helps the team evaluate the allegations, evidence, and decisions the government may make.
VanWa prepares evidence issues, motions, negotiations, and trial strategy according to what the case requires rather than relying on a standard script.
Camas clients can begin with a free consultation. The firm quotes a flat fee up front and offers payment plans on most matters.
Practice areas
VanWa Legal represents Camas clients facing first-offense, repeat, misdemeanor, felony, minor-DUI, refusal, and test-related allegations. The lawyers scrutinize the stop, observations, recordings, and breath or blood evidence, then prepare for the shared municipal or Clark County filing shown on the case record.
View DUI DefenseProcess & penalties
Camas clients can turn to VanWa for defense against misdemeanors and felonies involving domestic violence, assault, theft, drugs, harassment, orders, and other accusations. The team evaluates searches, statements, witnesses, digital material, and restrictions while preparing for the municipal or county court that received the filing.

Local Case Information
The Camas-Washougal Municipal Court is a shared court located at 89 C St in Washougal. Clark County District Court at 210 E 13th St handles limited-jurisdiction county matters, and Clark County Superior Court at 1200 Franklin St is the felony trial court.
The incident location does not by itself answer which building to visit. Use the citation, summons, docket, or hearing notice to confirm whether the case is assigned to the shared municipal court or a Clark County court.
Shared municipal court
89 C St, Washougal, WA
Camas and Washougal use this shared municipal court. The official court page provides current contact information and operating details.
Official informationLimited-jurisdiction court
210 E 13th St, Vancouver, WA
District Court handles limited-jurisdiction matters filed at the county level. The named court on the case record distinguishes it from the shared municipal court.
Official informationFelony trial court
Clark County Courthouse, 1200 Franklin St, Vancouver, WA
Superior Court is Clark County's felony trial court. Preliminary proceedings can occur in a court of limited jurisdiction, so the hearing notice or docket identifies the assigned proceeding and instructions.
Official informationYour paperwork controls
Follow the court and appearance details shown on the current citation, summons, release paperwork, docket, or hearing notice. If the documents have been updated, the latest confirmed court instruction controls rather than an older address.
Meeting With VanWa Legal
Travel from Camas to downtown Vancouver is generally oriented west on SR 14 before using current local directions to West Evergreen Boulevard. The Camas-Washougal Municipal Court is in Washougal, so do not treat the office route as the route to court.
The office is at 712 W Evergreen Blvd, Vancouver, WA 98660. It is not a courthouse, and a meeting at the office does not replace any required court appearance.
