Charged with a DUI? Request a DOL hearing immediately
As of January 1, 2019, you have only 7 days to request a DOL hearing after being cited for DUl with a breath result at or over the legal limit. You may have more time to request the hearing if your blood was taken to be tested instead of your breath. The rules and laws in relation to the Department of Licensing are tricky and confusing. Call now for a free consultation and advice on what steps to take.
DUI Penalties A DUI charge is a serious criminal matter
In addition to mandatory jail time for DUl convictions, our State seeks to take away your license. This is done on two fronts: both through the criminal prosecution AND through the Department of Licensing (DOL). The DUI / DWI penalties imposed will be based on the person's prior history, the current incident, and the individual court or judge. However, our experienced DUl attorneys can help you fight your case.
Washington Felony DUI Avoiding harsher felony dui penalties requires an effective attorney
Felony DUl penalties are generally much harsher than gross misdemeanor DUl penalties. An individual can face being charged with Felony DUl if either (a) the person has three or more "prior offenses" (DUl or similar type of charge, or a charge reduced from DUl to a lesser offense) in 10 years, or if (b) in the person's lifetime they have ever been convicted of a vehicular homicide or vehicular assault with alcohol or drugs involved (RCW 46.61).
Minor DUI Don't let one night ruin the rest of your life
In Washington State, a Minor DUI refers to a charge against drivers under the age of 21 who operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.02% or higher. Unlike standard DUI charges, which require a BAC of 0.08% or more, the legal limit for minors is significantly lower due to the state’s strict zero-tolerance policy. Even though it is considered a lesser offense than a standard DUI, a Minor DUI can still have serious and lasting consequences.
We're In Your Corner DUI charges can be life-altering. Reclaiming your freedom requires a DUI attorney with a history of success.
Many of my clients have initially been charged with a DUI, but after fighting the prosecution, I have often been able to get my clients heavily reduced charges (often with no jail and no impact on their driving rights). For example, a reduced charge of Reckless Driving may carry no jail time, and only a 30-day, court-imposed license suspension. A reduction to Negligent Driving may also have no jail AND no court-imposed license suspension.
