5 Reasons Why Hiring a Lawyer is Cheaper than a Seattle DUI Conviction- Don’t throw away your freedom!

You may wonder why you need to hire a lawyer for your Seattle DUI.  Of course, we all know attorneys are usually not cheap.  But, if you think about what you are really paying for, you will likely find that the service they provide is invaluable and you will not get the same result on your own.  Remember, Washington is known to have some of the harshest DUI penalties in the United States.  Therefore, it is critical for you to contact qualified Seattle DUI lawyers who know how to handle your case.  Still not convinced? 

Below are a few reasons why hiring a lawyer is cheaper than a Seattle DUI conviction:

  1. A 1st time offender with a BAC between 0.08% and 0.14% will face a maximum of 365 days in jail, a maximum of $5000 in fines, a suspended license for 90 days, an ignition interlock device installed on your car for one year and possible evaluation and treatment for alcohol for 2 years.
  2. A 2nd time offender with a BAC also between 0.08% and 0.14% will face a maximum of 365 days in jail but will then also be subject to electronic home detention for 60 days.  They will again face up to $5000 in fines and have their license revoked for 2 years.  They will also have to have an interlock ignition device installed for up to 5 years and may be required to have treatment for 2 years.
  3. A 3rd time DUI offender will face up to 1 year in jail and then have electronic home monitoring for 120 additional days.  They may have to pay fines of up to $5000 and will have their license revoked for 3 years.  They will then have an ignition interlock device installed on their car for anywhere between 1 to 10 years and may be required to undergo treatment for alcohol for up to 2 years.
  4. A 1st time offender with a BAC over 0.15% or refused a BAC will face a maximum of 365 days in jail and fines up to $5000.  Their license will be suspended for up to 2 years, they will have an ignition interlock device on their car for up to 1 year and they may be required to have alcohol treatment for 2 years.
  5. A 2nd time offender with a BAC over 0.15% or refused a BAC will spend a maximum of 1 year in jail and will then spend 60 more days at home under electronic monitoring.  They will also face fines up to $5000, have their license revoked and will have to pass driver’s exams.  Once they have passed the tests, an ignition interlock device will be put on their car and will remain for up to 5 years.  They may also have to have alcohol treatment for the next 2 years.

Being convicted of a Seattle DUI doesn’t sound like much fun, does it?  Attorneys may be expensive but it is a whole lot better than risking your criminal record, reputation and freedom.  Call our knowledgeable Seattle DUI lawyers who will fight for your rights!
