Longview DUI Lawyers

• Megan Ellavsky: DUI: DUI laws are getting tougher, and the penalties are getting more severe--these charges will affect you in a way that even many felony offenses do not: Ignition interlock requirements, jail time, and the enormous expense of fines and treatment requirements, just to name a few. Without question, anyone accused of driving under the influence should be represented by an attorney.
• Reitsch, Weston & Blondin: If you've been arrested for DUI in southwestern Washington, you face both a criminal charge which could result in mandatory jail time as well as an administrative action that could result in license suspension or an interlock device being placed on your car. Typically, people first learn of the pending administrative action when they receive a letter from the Washington Department of Licensing.
• James Morgan: Most people don't know that in the state of Washington, field sobriety testing is voluntary. Unless you are under a court order to do so, you do not have to take any roadside tests if you are stopped for allegedly driving drunk. You also have the right to speak to an attorney before taking a breath test. You should always exercise this right. You are under no obligation to talk to the police this is your right to remain silent. You should never answer a police officer's questions regarding your impairment or the amount you drank. If you find yourself in this situation, call me and I can help you. If you are already facing drunk driving charges, you must act quickly to protect your rights.
