A DUI Can Derail Your Future

A person can be charged with a DUI if they are caught driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 percent or a concentration of five nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood. People who drive with a BAC of .15% or more will face more severe consequences, including longer jail sentence and higher fines. A person who is under the age of 21 can be charged with a DUI if they have a BAC above .00 percent.

Washington state DUI charges carry some of the most severe penalties in the country. A first-time DUI conviction carries a maximum sentence of a year in jail, $5,000 in fines, a one-year license suspension and the installation of an ignition interlock device (IID). These penalties get more severe if a person is charged with multiple DUIs in seven years, if they refuse to take a breath or blood test or if they have a .15 BAC at the time of the arrest. Because of these severe consequences, you need to get a strong defense from a proven lawyer. Michael has helped many DUI clients defend their rights and get the best possible outcome.

Vehicular Manslaughter Is A Serious Crime

A person can be charged with vehicular manslaughter if they cause the death of another while driving recklessly under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Vehicular manslaughter is a felony charge that carries the maximum penalties of up to life in prison and a fine of up to $50,000. Additionally, the driver will face a two-year license revocation after they get out of prison.

If you are charged with vehicular manslaughter, you need to take immediate action to protect your rights and freedom. Our lawyer can begin defending you as soon as you call our office. Michael has decades of criminal defense experience and is a proven courtroom defender.
