Driving while under the influence is a very serious offense.  The ramifications of being convicted of DUI are rather extreme.  Most obvious is that a DUI is a gross misdemeanor and in some cases can rise to the level of a felony with the gross misdemeanor being punishable by a maximum of a year in jail and a $5,000.00 fine.  In addition, there may be serious ramifications for your driving privileges within the State of Washington.  Your privileges may be suspended or you may be forced to use an ignition airlock device in your vehicle for an extended period of time.  In addition, your insurance rates may go up and you may have the stress of dealing with the court proceedings associated with the charge.  Navigating criminal proceedings when they concern your own DUI is simply not advisable.  You should consult a knowledgeable attorney who can help you navigate through these troubled waterways.

            At Adept Law PLLC, we have over 13 years of experience in defending clients who have allegedly committed DUI.  We have been successful in our representation of these clients at Department of Licensing hearings as well as in the courtroom.  We strongly believe and adhere to the presumption of your innocence.  It is the focal point of any defense that we provide for you.  However, we realize that there are cases where our clients have committed a crime and are looking to simply mitigate their damages and do their time.  In those cases, we work to protect our clients’ sanity and assets by not racking up attorney’s fees in an effort to put on some form of frivolous defense.  Instead, we take the approach of mitigating damages and protecting our clients’ assets as they wish.  Of course, we always start with the presumption of innocence by reviewing the case thoroughly before we start any mitigation process.  If you have received a DUI, we are here to help.  We are dedicated, experienced and professional.
