YOU'RE NOT ALONE
Anyone who has been arrested for a DUI knows that it is a
very traumatic and overwhelming experience from beginning
to end. It is the one area of criminal law that can affect
people from every walk of life: professionals, politicians,
mothers, CEO's, grandparents, and even judges. Most
people enjoy having a drink with dinner or out with friends or
colleagues at social functions. Unfortunately, the legal limit is
.08 and it does not take much alcohol in your system to
exceed the limit.
SERIOUS CHARGES
Even if this is your first offense, you must take the DUI
charges against you seriously. This is a charge that will
follow you for the rest of your life. A DUI conviction can
cause many problems including the loss of your current job,
limiting future job opportunities, it will appear on a criminal
background check, and will increase your auto insurance
premiums substantially just to name a few examples.
WASHINGTON DUI LAWS
The drinking and driving penalties in Washington State are some of the most severe in the country. Because DUI is a very politically
unpopular crime, year after year the legislature continues to increase the penalties against those both charged and convicted. The DUI
laws are very complex and defending those charged with a DUI requires a comprehensive understanding of the various defenses
available, a willingness to work hard, and ability to be creative. The State of Washington has invested millions of dollars into their DUI
program in order to get convictions. Whether you want to take the case to trial and seek an all out acquittal, or plea bargain your case
down to a lesser charge, it is critical to hire an attorney that is willing to work hard on your case to achieve the best possible outcome.
- McPhearson Law Office:
Being accused of a crime is one of the most stressful experiences an individual can face. The criminal justice system can be overwhelming and complicated and you may believe that you are completely alone - and battling the system yourself. One of the most important things you can do if you are charged with a crime is to consult with an experienced and dedicated attorney - one who understands the law and will fight to assure you the best representation possible.
