Ignition Interlock Devices in Snohomish County, WA 

Snohomish County Ignition Interlock License Lawyers

If you have been convicted of DUI in Washington, one of two things will happen: your driver’s license will be suspended, or you’ll agree to drive with an ignition interlock license (IIL).

An ignition interlock license enables you to drive vehicles that have an ignition interlock device (IID) installed. An IID is essentially a breathalyzer integrated into the vehicle’s ignition system. Drivers are required to blow into the device to establish sobriety every time they get behind the wheel; if the device detects the presence of alcohol on the driver’s breath, the vehicle won’t start. Drivers will also need to provide breath samples periodically while behind the wheel.

To qualify for an IIL, a person’s license suspension or revocation cannot involve reckless driving, a minor in possession, or habitual traffic offenses. In many cases, only non-habitual DUI offenders are able to get an IIL. For our clients, it’s often necessary to drive to make a living, earn a degree, or fulfill their familial obligations. As experienced DUI defense lawyers serving all of Western Washington, we fight to ensure our clients get an ignition interlock license whenever it's advantages, so they can continue leading normal, productive lives.

As your DUI lawyers, DUIHeroes can help you apply for an IIL:

  • Step 1: Get SR22 insurance
  • Step 2: Install a functioning ignition interlock device (IID)
  • Step 3: Fill out the Department of Licensing application

IID Tampering Charges in Washington State

The installation of an ignition interlock device (IID) is one of many potential penalties of a drunk driving conviction. Attempting to disable, deceive, or bypass a court-issued ignition interlock device is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year of jail time, a $5,000 fine, or both. Additionally, the DOL can revoke an offender’s license for the remaining term of their IID installation. The same penalties apply if a DUI offender attempts to drive a vehicle without an IID installed.

If you’ve been accused of driving without an IID or of attempting to circumvent your IID, speak with a Snohomish County ignition interlock device attorney as soon as possible. Even if it was a mistake, under no circumstances should you attempt to speak on your own behalf with law enforcement. In our experience, you’ll only make things worse for yourself.

Instead, contact DUIHeroes as soon as you’re able. We can help you understand your rights and take immediate action to protect your future.
