Assault Charges Defense
We protect clients facing assault allegations by challenging evidence and negotiating with prosecutors. Our defense strategies focus on preserving freedom and preventing criminal records. With knowledge of Washington State's legal standards, we advocate for reduced charges or dismissed cases while protecting clients' rights throughout the judicial process.
DUI/DWI Defense
Our DUI defense includes challenging chemical test accuracy and procedural violations. We represent clients during license suspension hearings and criminal proceedings. By analyzing police reports and lab results, we identify defense opportunities to minimize penalties while guiding clients through ignition interlock requirements and SR-22 filings.
License Suspension Cases
We specialize in restoring driving privileges after license suspensions. Our representation includes negotiating restricted licenses and challenging unlawful revocations. By understanding Washington's Department of Licensing procedures, we help clients maintain employment and family obligations while resolving driving status issues through administrative hearings and court motions.
Speeding Ticket Representation
Our traffic court representation prevents insurance rate increases and license points. We negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or dismiss tickets through legal defenses. By appearing in court on clients' behalf, we protect driving records while handling associated fines and mandatory traffic school requirements for minor and commercial drivers.
Criminal Record Protection
We help clients minimize long-term consequences of criminal charges through record sealing and expungement options. Our services include petitioning for dismissed charges removal and identifying eligibility for criminal record modifications.
