DUI

Seattle-Tacoma DUI Attorneys

If you were arrested for DUI/DWI in Washington State, you need effective legal representation to see that your rights are protected. Drunk-driving convictions often are combined with other enhancements and will result in jail, loss of driving privileges, heavy fines, and a permanent criminal record. Additionally, many employers have a zero-tolerance policy regarding criminal convictions. If you are required to spend time in jail on a DUI conviction, your employer is unlikely to allow you to take time off to serve your sentence. Taking steps now could help you avoid spending time in jail or reduce the sentence against you.

Don't wait for daylight-call a DUI lawyer before talking to the police

The first mistake to avoid if you are picked up for driving under the influence is to talk to the police.
