DUI Vehicle Impoundment in Washington State
Having your vehicle impounded is costly and unfair, inflicting undue hardship. Without a car, your ability to fulfill your daily obligations—including work, school, and family—gets much harder. Commuting to work, buying groceries, and other everyday essential tasks becomes difficult; even just meeting friends can be frustrating as you’re completely dependent on others to give you a ride. Financially, the fees for getting your car out of the impound lot can potentially cost thousands of dollars.
At DUIHeroes, we have dedicated our practice exclusively to the area of DUI defense. If your vehicle has been impounded following a DUI arrest, we can help you take immediate action to not only protect your rights but also help get your car out of the impoundment lot.
