Washington DUI Defense
The penalties for a first DUI offense in Washington include a minimum of one day in jail or 15 days of electronic home monitoring, a 90-day license suspension, an ignition interlock device and fines up to $5,000. You may also be ordered to complete alcohol evaluation or treatment. The penalties for multiple offenses are steeper. If you have been charged, an experienced defense attorney can be an invaluable asset.
At Heritage Law Offices, I represent individuals in Kittitas, Grant, Ritzville/Adams, King, Snohomish and Douglas counties who are charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. I understand that your future and freedom are at stake. As your attorney, I can protect your rights from overzealous law enforcement and prosecutors. For a free 30-minute consultation with a Kittitas County DUI lawyer, please call 509-899-5375 or 425-397-9400, or contact me online.
Complete Representation for Civil and Criminal Charges
In Washington, you can request a license hearing with the department of licensing within 20 days of your arrest. I can represent you and fight against the suspension of your driver's license. A recent change in Washington law allows drivers to apply for an ignition interlock device so they may drive once it has been installed in the vehicle.
On the criminal side of the case, I will examine the traffic stop, arrest and evidence to determine whether police procedure was handled correctly. This also includes:
- Field sobriety tests
- Breath tests
- Blood tests
If your constitutional rights were violated, I may be able to get evidence suppressed and argue for reduced or dismissed charges.
Deferred prosecution may be an option if you are an alcoholic and agree to complete a treatment program. Please speak with an attorney to learn if you may be eligible for this program.
