We all make mistakes in judgment ... no one sets out to get arrested for a DUI. But lapses in judgment do occur and can have a major impact on our lives and our families.

When such an unfortunate event like this does happen, it is important to get the best possible legal help immediately. Inaction or insufficient legal advice can and will adversely affect your job, your insurance rates and even your freedom. Long-term consequences of a DUI conviction can even prevent you from traveling outside the State of Washington or the United States on business matters or personal vacations.
