You remember the flashing blue lights in your mirror . . . the rush of adrenalin . . . the rising sense of panic as you realized the police officer suspected YOU of drunk driving. Perhaps you sensed then how this might drastically affect your life.

Washington State, including King, Snohomish, and Kittitas counties, has the nation's toughest DUI laws. Penalties for this gross misdemeanor can be more severe than for some felonies. Confinement is mandatory. Jail or the loss of your license could cost you your job. Your finances may be jeopardized by expensive fines, insurance, ignition interlock devices and alcohol treatment programs.

Public perception of DUI is increasingly negative. In response, law enforcement throws an ever-widening net hoping to catch more offenders. Unfortunately, these aggressive enforcement tactics capture innocent drivers forcing them to defend against these serious charges.
