Washington State has enacted some of the toughest DUI laws in the nation. DUI, or Driving Under the Influence, is a Gross Misdemeanor. The maximum penalty for this crime is a year in jail, a $5,000.00 fine, or both. If you have been arrested for DUI, it is important that you contact a Seattle DUI lawyer immediately.

A DUI conviction can affect you and your family in many ways, including license suspension, fines, higher insurance rates, mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device, and jail time. If you are not a United States citizen, you could be deported if convicted of DUI.

If you have been arrested for DUI, you will automatically be subject to two proceedings: the civil case where you can request a hearing with the Department of Licensing (DOL), and the criminal case where you could ultimately lose your driving privileges and your freedom if convicted by a Washington Court of Law. Please don't let this happen to you - contact a Seattle DUI lawyer for help today.

When you have questions, our Seattle DUI lawyers will provide the answers. Whether you were arrested in Seattle, Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, or any other Puget Sound community, call us today at 206-706-2831 to schedule your free consultation, or if you prefer, contact us through this website and a DUI lawyer from our office will contact you promptly.

WARNING: Protect Your Washington Driver’s License

If you've been charged with DUI, it's important to contact a Seattle DUI lawyer as soon as possible to challenge the suspension of your license. In Washington, you only have thirty days after notification of a driver's license suspension to challenge the suspension. Our office will prepare all necessary paperwork and take whatever steps are available to challenge the DOL’s attempts to suspend your Washington driver license.
