DUI: Can a Lawyer Help Me?

Seattle, Washington DUI Defense Attorneys

At our Kent, Washington, criminal law firm, we are often asked, "I was picked up for driving under the influence—can a lawyer help me?" After hearing the facts of your case, your DUI defense attorney will tell you exactly what you are facing and what we hope to do for you.

Our clients repeatedly tell us that our attorneys' practical and direct approach helped them get through criminal justice proceedings with dignity.

Don't plead guilty to drunk driving until you talk to an attorney

When determining the best way to approach the defense of your DUI, our lawyer will ask the following questions:

Does the prosecutor have a case?

You may think that if you were stopped for drunk driving and failed a blood or breath test, you may as well plead guilty. That is not necessarily so—your DUI defense lawyer will examine all police or highway patrol records and evidence to see if the prosecutors actually have a solid case against you.

Should charges be reduced or dropped?

Our lawyers are respected by prosecutors and judges in courts throughout the state of Washington, a relationship that often allows charges to be reduced or dropped, or allows us to negotiate a favorable sentencing option for our clients.

Were you arrested on the basis of a breath test?

There are so many problems with breath tests that some courts refuse to admit the test results as evidence in drunk-driving trials. Technical problems with the administration of the test, faulty equipment, or medical issues can affect the BAC reading. Our lawyers will examine the evidence and determine whether the evidence on which the DUI charges are based can be challenged either before you are charged or during a trial.

Discuss your DUI defense with your lawyer

Your attorney will take the time to find out exactly what outcome you hope for, and explain what we can do to help. Our attorneys are committed to fighting for the rights of our clients, and are never afraid to go to trial.
