Alex Schodowski brings more than a decade of courtroom experience to the bench — as a prosecutor, defense attorney, and Judge Pro Tem in Clallam County District Court. She is committed to ensuring every person who enters the courtroom is treated with fairness, respect, and equal justice under the law.
A graduate of Western Michigan University – Cooley Law School, Alex served as a Clallam County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for more than five years, handling thousands of cases ranging from DUI and felony offenses to serious violent crimes. She developed specialized expertise in DUI prosecution, vehicular assault, sexual assault, violent crimes, and forensic interviewing. She has also served as Judge Pro Tem in both Clallam County District Court and Clallam County Superior Court for approximately ten years, presiding over cases with the same care and impartiality that she will bring to the bench full time.
Today, Alex and her husband Joe operate Schodowski Law Inc. PS in Port Townsend, where she represents clients in criminal defense, DUI defense, and personal injury matters. Her work on both sides of the courtroom gives her a rare and balanced perspective — one grounded in the rule of law and a deep respect for every person who comes before the court.
From 2020 to 2024, Alex also served as in-house counsel for the Peninsula Housing Authority, where she provided legal guidance on matters affecting housing and community services for residents of the Olympic Peninsula.
Alex has built her career serving the people of Clallam County and the Olympic Peninsula. She is a devoted wife and mother of two.
