Practicing criminal defense is a challenging career path. You are constantly fighting uphill battles, you are constantly working with bad facts and bad law, and in every single case you have someone's livelihood on the line (it wouldn't be a criminal case if there wasn't any jail time as a possibility). This can make even the most hardened Seattle DUI defense attorney a little bit anxious when it comes to fighting the good fight. But there is a reason to stand up and fight.

And I also routinely sit in court and hear people provide excuses time and time again that the judge will never go for. Read on to learn a little bit more about those.
