Defending Against DUI Charges

Our law firm will examine all aspects of your case, seeking to obtain a dismissal of the charge or reduction to a nonalcohol driving offense. Factors that could result in a positive outcome include:

  • Lack of probable cause for the police to stop you
  • Improperly administered field sobriety tests
  • Inadmissible breath or blood test results
  • Failure of the police to inform you of your rights

Protecting Your Professional Reputation

If convicted of DUI or refusing a Breathalyzer test, professionals may face loss of their professional licenses, airline pilots may lose flight privileges and commercial truck drivers may lose their CDLs. As your counsel, we are able to provide comprehensive DUI defense representation. Our employment law attorneys will work together with our criminal defense lawyers to see that all issues are thoroughly addressed.

Prior Offenses Can Lead To Felony DUI Charges In Washington State

In Washington state, driving under the influence or maintaining physical control of a motor vehicle under the influence, may be a felony offense under some circumstances — an offense more serious than vehicular assault. DUI becomes a felony if the person charged has four or more prior offenses in the past 10 years or has been convicted of vehicular assault or vehicular homicide at any time. Prior offenses could include charges like:

  • Negligent driving
  • Reckless driving
  • Reckless endangerment if initially charged as an alcohol offense

When handling a charge of DUI, defense attorneys at CNRWA may be able to negotiate a plea bargain that reduces the charge to a nonalcohol driving offense.
