Retaining a Seattle drunk driving attorney is the only way to potentially avoid the mandatory penalties for drunk driving in Seattle. Both Washington state and the City of Seattle require draconian DUI penalties for anyone convicted of DUI. Even first time offenders will serve jail, lose their driver’s license, pay fines and will be required to comply with numerous restrictive probation conditions. Such as drive only vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device, obtain a substance abuse evaluation and complete the recommended treatment. A DUI conviction will also prevent you from entering Canada which greatly impacts many Washingtonians.

Do not attempt to defend yourself or contact the government about your DUI case. They are not interested in helping you. They are only interested in obtaining their DUI conviction. Only an experienced Seattle drunk driving attorney will be able to protect your legal rights and safeguard your interests. With a DUI attorney it is possible to have your DUI reduced to a lesser charge through a negotiated plea bargain and in some cases have your criminal charge dismissed.

The Seattle police and prosecuting attorneys are well trained and aggressively pursue the successful prosecutions of drunk drivers. However, the government regularly fails to proper process a DUI investigation and each year hundreds of cases are impacted. Hire a DUI defense attorney that understands the complexities of a DUI case and that can identify the legal issues of a DUI and the mistakes made by the police. Hire a DUI defense attorney that knows how to debunk the field sobriety tests and the “scientific” breath test evidence. Hire one that once prosecuted DUIs as a Seattle prosecutor.
