Fight The Consequences Of DUI

Washington state has extremely tough DUI penalties. A first-offense conviction with a blood/breath alcohol content (BAC) of at least .08, or someone who refused a BAC test, faces all of the following:

• One day to 364 days in jail
• Fines and fees of up to $8,000
• Alcohol and/or drug treatment
• 90 days to two years of driver’s license suspension and the ignition interlock device
• Steep increase in insurance rate

Every DUI case can be defended. Sometimes BAC tests are unreliable. Scientists have shown that breath tests can be thrown off by many things from what you’ve eaten to how law enforcement administers the test. If you’re charged with a DUI or reckless driving, don’t plead guilty before you speak to us about your legal options.
