Fighting Drunk Driving Charges in Redmond, WA
You may be surprised to learn that DUI cases are some of the most difficult of all criminal cases to defend against in court. To successfully reduce or move to dismiss a DUI charge, a DUI attorney must know the law, the judge, local police, typical arrest procedures, and even the equipment used for blood or breath tests to build an effective defense strategy. Understanding the nuances of how faulty test results can occur is critical. If you are facing a DUI charge after failing a field sobriety test or breath test, you will face negative and long-lasting consequences: jail time, loss of driving privileges, probation, expensive fines, and more.
You need the help and support of a Redmond DUI lawyer who will build a strong defense against your charges and fight for your future in court.

Understanding Redmond Drinking & Driving Laws
Redmond follows strict DUI laws that can lead to severe penalties with the goal of deterring impaired driving to protect public safety. Washington State's legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit is 0.08%, and surpassing this can result in an arrest and DUI charge. The law also covers drug-impaired driving, such as driving under the influence of marijuana. It's important to recognize that even if your BAC is below the legal limit, you could be charged if your driving is noticeably impaired. For those under 21, any detectable BAC level is grounds for a DUI charge under the state's zero-tolerance policy.

Frequently Asked Questions About DUI in Redmond
What Should I Do Immediately After a DUI Arrest in Redmond?
If you've been arrested for a DUI in Redmond, first and foremost, remain calm and comply with law enforcement officers. Request legal counsel promptly to ensure your rights are protected throughout the legal proceedings. Collect any available evidence from the incident, such as names of potential witnesses, and document your recollection of events.
How Can a DUI Affect My Driving Privileges in Washington State?
A DUI charge in Washington State can lead to the immediate suspension of your driving privileges. Depending on the specifics of your situation, including BAC level and prior offenses, your license could be suspended for a considerable duration. Applying for a restricted license is possible, but you'll need to install an ignition interlock device on your vehicle and adhere to strict driving limitations.
Are There Alternative Sentencing Options for DUI Offenses?
Yes, Washington State offers alternative sentencing options for first-time DUI offenders or those with mitigating circumstances. These may include participation in alcohol treatment programs or probation instead of jail time. It is essential to consult with a knowledgeable DUI lawyer to explore these alternatives and develop a strategy tailored to your situation.
