Defending against a charge of driving under the influence is challenging. The laws concerning drunk driving have changed radically in recent years, and an arrest for driving under the influence today results in complicated criminal procedures. If you are convicted, you may incur tough penalties such as jail time, fines, loss of driving privileges, and will be required to install an ignition interlock device (IID) on all vehicles you drive. Additionally, your insurance rates will increase dramatically, and you may even be shut out from some job opportunities due to your conviction. This is a legal situation where the stakes are very high. If you want to fight your drinking and driving charge in Washington, hiring an attorney whose practice concentrates on drunk driving defense could make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
There are a number of time-sensitive matters that must be addressed very soon after your arrest. Failure to address all of these issues could result in your being booked into jail or having your driver’s license suspended or revoked. It is very important to involve an attorney who understands Washington DUI laws and courtroom proceedings as soon as possible following your arrest to ensure each of these issues is taken care of appropriately.
At the Law Office of Chris L. Matson, we understand that sometimes good people make mistakes. Whether this is your only DUI charge or your third, Chris will provide the support, advice, and representation you need to fight your DUI charge. Contact Chris today—your future depends on it.
