The Bianchi Law Firm was founded in 1960 by Alfred J. Bianchi, a former Washington State Assistant Attorney General and King County Deputy Prosecutor.

George has lectured at numerous CLE programs throughout the United States concerning DUI defense. His recent presentation, “Cannabis & Cars,” is available through the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL). George has also been lead counsel in a number of cases resolving complex criminal law issues. He is a member of the Washington State Association for Justice [formerly Washington State Trial Lawyers Association], Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the former president of the Washington Foundation for Criminal Justice. In 1999, Martindale-Hubbell awarded him with their highest accolade, an AV rating in the legal profession, which he currently maintains.

He was elected to the position of Regent with The National College for DUI Defense in July of 2000, elected Dean in 2010, and currently is a Fellow to The National College for DUI Defense.
