According to Washington's felony DUI statute, a conviction can mean a year in jail and a $5,000 fine if a judge decides to exceed the mandatory sentencing minimums. You could also be looking at the installation of an ignition interlock device on your motor vehicle, regular alcohol education and treatment classes, and two or more years of probation.

In addition to facts previously presented against you, other factors weighed at sentencing include any prior convictions in Washington or elsewhere, or any prior deferred prosecutions.

We will do everything in our power to put you in the best position to receive the lightest possible consequence. We excel at plea-bargainingwith prosecutors on behalf of our DUI clients and we can recommend that they pursue lesser charges such as negligent driving. Whatever course your case takes, we will keep you frequently updated and we will remain available to answer your questions and concerns.
