Services
DUI Defense
Comprehensive legal representation for DUI charges, including trial preparation, evidence challenges, and deferred prosecution petitions. Our former prosecutor's insight helps clients navigate Washington's strict DUI laws while protecting employment and educational opportunities. We prioritize minimizing long-term consequences through strategic negotiations and court-approved treatment programs.

Professional defense against speeding violations to prevent record stains and insurance rate increases. We identify technical errors in citations, negotiate charge reductions to non-moving violations, and represent clients in court to preserve driving privileges, particularly for commercial drivers and young motorists.

Guided assistance with deferred prosecution applications for eligible DUI clients. We help prepare treatment program applications, negotiate probation terms, and ensure compliance with Washington's strict requirements to achieve charge dismissals while addressing substance abuse concerns through court-approved channels.
License Suspension Defense
Legal advocacy to challenge administrative license suspensions following DUI arrests. We file timely appeals with the Department of Licensing, represent clients at hearings, and develop strategies to maintain driving privileges during criminal proceedings and treatment programs.

Specialized defense for commercial drivers facing traffic violations that threaten their livelihood. We focus on minimizing points accumulation, preventing license downgrades, and negotiating outcomes that preserve professional driving careers while addressing court requirements for work-related driving infractions.
