Snohomish County DUI Plea Bargaining Attorneys
DUI Plea Bargain in Snohomish County, WA
An individual arrested for DUI in Washington State faces serious criminal charges, and the penalties for a conviction are harsh. A DUI conviction can result in jailtime, probation, large fines and court fees, driver’s license suspension, ignition interlock device installation, and court-mandated alcohol treatment and counseling.
It is important to have skilled legal counsel that can build a strong defense through arraignment, motion-to-suppress hearings, and all subsequent court proceedings. DUIHeroes represents people accused of DUI at each step of the process, including plea bargaining. In many cases, seeking a plea bargain can be advantageous, allowing defendants to avoid the harsh consequences of a conviction.

Challenging the Prosecution's Evidence in Your DUI Case
A strong DUI defense is one that challenges the evidence presented by the prosecution.
At DUIHeroes, we examine all aspects of the state's case against you, including whether there was:
- Reasonable suspicion of a DUI
- Probable cause to arrest
- Incorrect arrest procedures
- Illegally or improperly obtained evidence
- Mishandled breath, blood, or urine testing samples
By challenging these and other factors of a DUI case, we can prompt the prosecution to request a plea bargain. This is an agreement between the defendant and the prosecution in which the defendant agrees to accept a lesser charge and the prosecutor agrees to stop further pursuing the DUI case.
When Do Prosecutors Offer or Accept Plea Bargains for DUI?
Common reasons why prosecutors propose or accept a plea bargain include:
- The evidence against the accused is minimal or unreliable.
- Expert testimonies for the prosecution are unavailable.
- A judge has a history of siding with DUI defendants.
- The defendant’s attorney presented a reasonable plea bargain first.
At DUIHeroes, we recognize that a plea bargain initiated by the prosecution is almost inevitably a sign that the prosecutor’s case is weak overall. Once one is offered to our client, we can jump on the opportunity to look for those signs of weakness and determine if it is worth taking the plea bargain or if it would be better to take the case to court where a not-guilty verdict could be likely.
Advantages of Accepting a Plea Bargain in DUI Cases
An advantage to accepting a plea bargain is the lessening of charges, which might involve a DUI charge reduction to a reckless driving or negligent driving charge. In this way, the defendant can avoid the harsh DUI penalties and the negative impact of a DUI conviction on their record.
Another beneficial aspect of a plea bargain for a lesser charge is the speed at which a case can be resolved. Seeking or accepting a plea bargain also removes a judge and/or jury from the DUI process, making a swifter resolution possible.
