Almost all of us have been pulled over for speeding by a cop before. It sucks. They usually make us feel dumb or embarrassed, and then they give us a ticket for a couple hundred bucks and just expect us to pay it. Some people fight back, some on their own, some with a Seattle traffic lawyer. If you decide to go it alone or are on the fence about hiring a speeding ticket attorney to help, I thought I'd at least help you out with some defenses that won't work.

Even the best Seattle DUI attorneys face an uphill battle with every single DUI case they help someone with. Our profession is a true underdog story. With the advent of mothers against drunk driving, students against drunk driving, and everyone else against drunk driving, the laws on driving after drinking have become so restrictive as to make every case an uphill battle. (Just FYI, I am against drunk drivers and drunk driving, the problem I have is with people being accused of drunk driving not because of bad driving but because they can't walk a line heel to toe.)

I write and talk about this all the time. Don't talk to cops. Just don't do it. Ever. Nothing good comes of it. You will almost always end up in trouble, and if you weren't doing anything or don't have anything on you to get in trouble, you feel dirty for getting put through the ringer. Take if from a Seattle DUI attorney – just don't talk to cops.

One of the great things about the United States is that we all have Constitutional rights. These rights allow us to enjoy a freedom not many other people around the world can. What is sad, though, is that people don't take the time to fully understand those rights, and as a result, they often end up in trouble they could have avoided. Then they end up needing me, a Seattle criminal attorney, to help.

Almost all of us have, at one time or another, gotten behind the wheel and driven home after having a drink or two. And the good thing about it, is that this is okay. When things can go seriously wrong is when you get pulled over by a cop after having those couple drinks. If that happens, then there is a chance that you will be fighting for your freedom, and need a Seattle DUI attorney to help.

One of the first things you'll notice when you are starting up a law firm is that there is no one there to watch you. If you want to go sit in your office all day and twiddle your thumbs, you can do that. The only person that will know is you (and your banker). But if you are setting out on your own, my guess is you don't want to do this anyway. So how do we get things done?

It was only a couple of drinks at dinner. You feel fine to drive. But then you are pulled over by the cops. You see the blinking lights in the background and are a little nervous about what is to come. Then he asks you what you've had to drink, if you'll step out of the car, and if you'll take some field sobriety tests. You have a couple buddies that are DUI attorneys in Seattle, but you can't remember what they said to do. But you know these are going to be big decisions…

This is sort of old news and if you are a Seattle DUI attorney, you certainly know about it. But I thought I'd discuss it anyway, since it is important news. It's about the breathalyzer test in King County in Washington State (basically Seattle). For the last year and a half or so, they've been inadmissible in court as evidence of DUI. The case that decided it was called Ahmach, and it was a doozy. Stay tuned to learn a little bit more about it.

If you ever get in trouble with the law, for whatever reason, and you don't know a criminal attorney you can trust off the bat, it is really difficult to know who to choose. Do you choose the cheapest? The person that promises the most? The person you get the best feeling from? Or all of the above? Or none of the above? Well, I've been a practicing Seattle criminal attorney for some time now, and I can tell you that in my experience there are three types of criminal lawyer. Read below to learn about each of the levels.

I am a Seattle DUI attorney. The majority of my clients are charged with misdemeanors, gross misdemeanors, or low level felonies. Many of my clients, when they come in, tell me that they have committed the crimes they are charged with. And all of them want to know how I can help them and are scared about the punishment they face.
So, what do I do, as a Seattle DUI attorney, when I know my clients did what they are accused of? I try to get them off. Keep reading to find out why.
