Snohomish County Multiple DUI Lawyers

DUI Defense for Repeat Offenders in Washington State

If you have prior convictions for driving under the influence, the penalties for another DUI conviction are automatically increased. For this purpose, prior DUIs are considered if they occurred within the seven years immediately preceding your current charge. Keep in mind that the “count” of prior convictions includes dismissed charges from a deferred prosecution.

Although varying in degree, penalties for a second DUI often include:

While any blood alcohol reading of .08% or over results in a DUI charge, penalties will increase if your BAC is greater than or equal to .15%, or if you refuse chemical testing. If the DUI is a felony charge due to aggravating circumstances related to your arrest, even harsher penalties will apply. Whatever situation you’re facing, you’ll need a multiple DUI defense lawyer in Snohomish County to fight back.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Charged with Multiple DUIs in Snohomish County, WA

Facing multiple DUI charges can be an overwhelming experience, especially if you're unsure about how to navigate the legal landscape. Many individuals make avoidable mistakes soon after their arrest, which can severely impact the outcomes of their cases. Understanding these common pitfalls is the key to helping ensure that you maximize your chances for a favorable resolution. 

Below are some typical errors to be mindful of when dealing with multiple DUI charges in Snohomish County or anywhere in Western Washington:

  1. Failing to Hire an Experienced DUI Defense Lawyer: Many individuals believe they can handle their case alone or with a public defender. However, seasoned DUI attorneys who specialize in this area of law have the skills and knowledge to navigate the complex legal processes involved in DUI cases, including those involving multiple DUIs. 
  2. Delaying Legal Action: Waiting too long to act can result in missed opportunities for defenses or plea bargaining and could lead to more severe penalties. Immediate action shows responsibility and can positively impact the court's perception.
  3. Ignoring Court Orders or Requirements: Disregarding mandatory court appearances, probation meetings, or failing to complete required drug or alcohol counseling can lead to additional charges or stricter penalties.
  4. Attempting to Resolve the Charge Informally: Some individuals mistakenly believe they can "talk their way out of it" without formal proceedings, potentially worsening their situation. You should never try to get out of a DUI without taking the proper, official steps required to resolve your case. This includes working with a defense attorney who can advocate for you.
  5. Providing Inconsistent or Incriminating Statements: Making statements without legal guidance can be detrimental. Any inconsistencies can be leveraged by the prosecution against the defendant. Remember: You have the right to remain silent. We urge you to remain calm and stay silent, aside from providing your identification to the arresting officer and asking for a lawyer.
  6. Not Understanding the Severity of Charges: Multiple DUI offenses carry severe consequences, including longer jail time and higher fines. Underestimating the impact can result in inadequate preparation for court.

Commonly Asked Questions

How does a DUI conviction impact my driving record?

A DUI conviction will remain on your driving record permanently in Washington State. This can affect your insurance premiums and may lead to additional points on your driving record, which can result in further penalties.

What should I do if I am stopped by law enforcement while driving under the influence?

If stopped, remain calm and respectful. You have the right to remain silent and should avoid discussing your case. It's advisable to contact an attorney as soon as possible to guide you through the legal process.

Are there alternative sentencing options for multiple DUI offenders?

Yes, some courts may offer alternative sentencing options, such as rehabilitation programs, house arrest, ignition interlock or deferred prosecution, depending on the circumstances of the case. However, these options are typically available only under certain conditions and may not apply to all offenders.
