Leading Kent DUI Attorney Says that Cops Can Get Arrests Wrong, Too


As any notable Kent DUI attorney such as Kim Hunter would point out, this case proves that sometimes police officers can get DUI arrests all wrong. After all, many of the outward symptoms of being high are attributable to other factors. For instance, red eyes can be caused by eye strain or an infection. Fuzzy thoughts, on the other hand, might be the effect of fatigue and not necessarily intoxication.

Respected Tacoma DUI Attorney Discusses Marijuana-Related DUI Arrests


When people hear the word “driving under the influence” or DUI, they often associate it with alcohol intake. As one of the few states where marijuana use is legal for medical reasons, however, Washington also deals with DUI cases where the cause of intoxication is “pot.” In fact, after marijuana was legalized in 2013, cops arrested more “stoned” drivers that year compared to 2011 and 2012.

DUI Attorney in Federal Way Helps Resolve Marijuana-Related DUI Cases


When it comes to marijuana use, the state police have long been preparing for this increase in DUI cases. In fact, in the first eight months alone of the legalization, authorities have already seen 37 DUI marijuana-related DUI arrests. The problem, so it appears, is that people wrongly assume that just because using marijuana is now legal, they can do that and drive at the same time. This isn’t the case, though, as also clearly exemplified by the relationship of alcohol with driving: you can drink, but you can’t drive when you do. Depending on the circumstances, officers can ask a suspected DUI offender to perform a field sobriety test to determine if there is any kind of impairment present. A blood test or urine test may also be requested, but as any DUI defense lawyer in Federal Way, or in surrounding areas—such as from the Law Offices of Kim E. Hunter—would advise, a judge must first sign a search before such tests can be granted.

Tacoma Criminal Lawyer Defends Accused’s Rights Despite Public Bias


Ray Rice may have thrown the punch, but right now, he’s the one reeling, about to get knocked out cold. The former Baltimore Ravens running back didn’t know what hit him as soon as the video of him punching his ex-fiancĂ©-now-wife surfaced in the media back in September. Immediately, anti-domestic violence groups swooped down on the NFL—including 16 U.S. female senators, no less—demanding that the sports organization implement a zero tolerance policy against domestic violence. Feeling the pressure to make an appropriate response, the NFL put Rice on an indefinite suspension. Meanwhile, the Ravens, in a bid to disassociate with him, cut him out of the team, leaving Rice to protest this decision.

Working with a Kent DUI Attorney to Challenge Field Sobriety Tests


While FSTs are considered standardized, there would be certain situations that can drastically affect the accuracy of their results. There are 3 typical FSTs, namely the one-leg stand, the walk-and-turn, and the horizontal gaze nystagmus test (aka eye test). All tests have potential loopholes that can be challenged by an experienced a DUI defense lawyer from Kent. One such loophole involves the immediate area where the test itself was conducted. For instance, making a suspected drunk driver perform the one-leg stand or the walk-and-turn tests on a sloped area could significantly alter the results. Upon close inspection of the area, it may look level at first sight – but actually slopes in two different directions. Gusty winds, slick roads, or scattered debris can also affect the results of the test at any given time.

Sobriety Tests: Why you’ll Fail; Why you’ll Need a Tacoma DUI Lawyer


A few factors, however, affect how long alcohol lingers in the body. Gender is one. As women have less water in their bodies (49%) than men (58%), as well as less overall body fat, studies have shown that alcohol is sustained and lingers longer in a woman’s body. Another factor is body size and weight. Quite simply, the larger and heavier the person, the greater the body’s tolerance for alcohol. This is because the heavier a person is, the more water he has in his body to quickly dilute the effects of alcohol. Age is also a contributor, as younger people, specifically the 20-30 year-olds, have greater tolerance for alcohol. This is due to their faster metabolism, enabling them to sober up more quickly.

Facts from your Federal Way DUI Attorney: DUI Penalties in Washington


The state doesn’t take kindly to repeat offenders, either. A conviction of a second offense within a seven-year period could earn you a $5,000 fine, a two-year license suspension, and up to a year total jail sentence. Thanks to stricter DUI laws, you could also be required to maintain an ignition interlock device in your vehicle for about five years. If you want to make sure that you get a lighter penalty, or in the best-case-scenario, be acquitted from all charges, you should get excellent representation in court. Hiring a reputable Federal Way DUI lawyer like Kim E Hunter, PLLC who can act as a competent and caring representative alongside you, can go a long way in helping you beat your DUI charge.

Facts from a Tacoma Criminal Lawyer: Defense against Domestic Violence


In most cases, the burden of proof in criminal proceedings lies in the prosecutor. In short, it is the plaintiff’s job to provide evidence of the defendant’s unlawful acts, and the latter to present the burden of rebuttal. This is a common defense against domestic violence, and if the prosecution couldn’t come up with sufficient proof, the charge could end up with an indication of reasonable doubt. If you want to make sure that your rights are defended against an allegation of domestic violence, call up your trusted criminal attorney in Tacoma. Thanks to criminal defense lawyers like Kim E Hunter, PLLC, people don’t have to suffer through the consequences of a questionable accusation for domestic violence, or other reputation-scarring crimes.

Top Tacoma DUI Attorney Reduces DUI Case to Reckless Driving Charge


"Atty. Kim E. Hunter, a leading Tacoma DUI attorney, has successfully defended countless cases in the Washington courts. As a testament to her impressive track record, we are happy to announce that just recently she was able to have a client’s DUI case commuted to a mere reckless driving charge. That’s the kind of service you can expect to get from Atty.

Even if you’re a first-time offender, you will face mandatory license suspension, huge fines, and possible incarceration.

Kent DUI Attorney Shares Some Scenarios When Charges can be Dropped


"In the event that you also find yourself arrested under suspicion of a DUI, remain calm. Contrary to popular belief, there are ways to beat a DUI charge. Immediately inform the apprehending officer(s) that you wish to talk to a Kent DUI attorney. Once you are face to face with your lawyer, try to recall the following details: Why You Were Stopped Police officers cannot flag down a vehicle simply because they suspect a driver is impaired. A standard traffic violation such as swerving or a busted tail light must be the reason why you were stopped; otherwise, the DUI charge will be shot down in court. For your reference: in Washington, an anonymous report is not sufficient cause for pulling you over."

A Criminal Lawyer in Tacoma can Assist You against Unlawful Searches


The danger of random searches can strike a chord with Washington State residents as well as with any American. Some of these situations have even resulted in the defendants suing the authorities for unwanted searches. If you have been the subject of an illegal search or seizure and you feel that some corners were cut, a professional such as a criminal lawyer in Tacoma can help you. One of the most important angles your lawyer can argue is unlawful entry by the police into your premises even before you read the warrant in full. In the article noted above, Komisaruk suggested opening the door if prompted by the officers and close it behind you. Get the warrant from the serving officer and read it on the spot line for line, looking for the subject address, date, the judge’s signature, and details of any items to be searched.

A DUI Attorney from Federal Way Can Help You in a Sports Event Brawl


If you find yourself on the hot seat for drunken behavior around the time of a sporting event, you can seek legal representation through the assistance of a DUI attorney in Federal Way like Atty. Kim E. Hunter. A full accounting of the facts from both sides usually helps in getting a better picture of what happened, which your lawyer can then use in their arguments. In the mascot case noted above, the St. Petersburg police reported that one Trevor James Martin allegedly wrapped his arms around Raymond’s neck every time the latter went close to the railings. The mascot was forced to shake loose during the incident.

Tacoma DUI Attorney: The Stormy Effects of WA State’s New BUI Laws


"Refusal to submit to a breath or blood test may result in a class 1 civil infraction carrying a fine of $1,000, charged against the defendant, on top of other statutory assessments. Should a person refuse to be tested, law enforcement may still do so by first obtaining a search warrant. When faced with a BUI, it is important that the accused immediately contact an experienced Tacoma DUI lawyer who can provide them with a capable defense and allow them to avoid the now-stiffer consequences of the offense. Several defenses may be used to argue one’s innocence in BUI cases, including improper testing procedures—such as the administration of a field sobriety test on a vessel in choppy seas."

Insights on Theft Defense and Conviction from a Tacoma Criminal Lawyer


"When taken at face value, a misdemeanor theft or shoplifting charge doesn’t seem particularly grievous. However, any responsible criminal lawyer in Tacoma would tell you that theft charges must be taken seriously, just as we do here at the Law Offices of Kim E Hunter, PLLC, precisely because it has life-changing repercussions to it. On the surface, the consequences for getting picked up on a shoplifting or misdemeanor theft charge might look relatively light. It is possible that you may be trespassed from, or forbidden from entering, the store. If the store is in a mall, you could be trespassed from the entire mall for a year or more."

24/7 Sobriety: Solution or Hurdle for the Federal Way DUI Attorney?


"On its constitutionality, Sen. Mike Padden (R-Spokane), the project’s prime sponsor, has commented, “I don’t think we should lose focus that the primary aim [for 24/7 Sobriety] was really people that have already been convicted.” Regardless of whether the program does achieve its goal of state-wide implementation by 2017, however, if you feel that 24/7 Sobriety violates your rights, trust a competent DUI lawyer in Federal Way from established firms like the Law Offices of Kim E.

Tacoma DUI Attorney Kim E. Hunter Chimes In on New Draeger Breath Test


"To understand how the adoption of the Draeger will affect the DUI dynamic, it is the responsibility of every DUI attorney in Tacoma and across the state to understand the specifics of the new machine. Here at the Law Offices of Kim E. Hunter, we got in touch with Jon Fox, an attorney-at-law with a wealth of experience on the Draeger, to familiarize us with the new device. Like the DataMaster, the Draeger 9510 will use infrared spectrometry to measure the amount of alcohol in a person’s breath by detecting light at the frequency associated with the carbon-hydrogen bond of the ethyl alcohol molecule. However, the new device will go one step further by testing for alcohol against an electrochemical process as well. These two tests will be performed on two breath samples, yielding four results to help rule out errors. In addition, the Draeger also provides testers with more information, including the length of the blow, uncertainty calculations of the data, and other profile graphs."

Need for a Kent DUI Lawyer Imminent as State Looks out for Offenders


Gov. Inslee’s signing of the new law lies in the wake of several recent fatal accidents involving drunk drivers in the state. One notable instance was of Seattle native Dan Schulte’s family. Schulte’s elderly parents were killed, and his wife and infant son were seriously injured after an allegedly intoxicated man ran over the victims as they crossed the street. However, while Schulte noted that the legislative body’s efforts are commendable, more legal measures still need to be put in place to deter drunk drivers from getting on the road and causing accidents. With the reworked law now in effect throughout the State (and the nation’s toughest, at that), anyone who gets busted after having had more than a few drinks would need a strong advocate in the person of an experienced Kent DUI lawyer from firms such as the Law Offices of Kim E. Hunter, PLLC. Having a skilled DUI defense ally by your side gives you a better than average fighting chance of getting off the legal rut.

Tacoma Criminal Lawyer’s Domestic Violence Defense Case Gets Dismissed


"The plaintiff argued about the validity of the doctrine of forfeiture by wrongdoing, where the accused automatically forfeits the right to the Confrontation Clause. Moreover, the plaintiff also claimed that Mr. X’s alleged action instigated witness Y’s refusal to involve herself in the case. However, Atty. Hunter challenged that it is not appropriate to apply the doctrine when the defendant does not prevent testimony from being given, and when it revokes an essential constitutional right. The circumstances also seem to show that the absence of the witness is likely motivated by her own feelings about the defendant, especially because she is carrying his child. Ultimately, the Court ruled that it is improper to consent to the introduction of testimonial evidence when there is proof that the constitutional right of the defendant was violated. The prosecution permitted the submission of the witness’ testimonial statement despite the fact that defense had no opportunity to cross-examin

Defending Against Violence Charges with a Criminal Lawyer in Tacoma


"Wrong suspect. It is possible that as soon as the authorities nab a suspect, there can be a case of mistaken identity. Reasons may include identical names, misinterpreted physical attributes, or wrong specific details in the police report. To establish an accused individual’s innocence, a skilled Tacoma criminal attorney can point out irregularities in the records and present relevant evidence to the contrary. Deliberately false allegations. Domestic violence cases often involve emotionally charged people. The overflowing feelings can have a significant effect on their decisions– at times even accusing merely out of spite. In order to support their lies, they may also lie, create false evidence, and even inflict injuries upon themselves. Known to happen in child custody and divorce cases, deliberately false allegations can be debunked by a skilled defense lawyer by searching for inconsistencies in the accuser’s story, then comparing it to police records and eyewitness accounts."

Hiring a Competent Kent DUI Attorney Helps You Fight a DUI Conviction


"A knowledgeable DUI defense lawyer in Kent like Kim E. Hunter would focus on either proving one of these two main things is wrong or trying to stop any evidence being presented that would support these claims. There are several tactics that an attorney can resort to so that these results can be achieved. First is to challenge the arrest; police officers need a good reason to stop you for drunk driving. This can range from driving erratically or crossing a red light. Without a good reason for stopping you, any evidence obtained during the arrest cannot be used to convict you. Second, an attorney can present a witness or an explanation for your careless driving. This can be a lack of sleep or a cell phone conversation."

A Skilled Tacoma DUI Attorney Can Make DUI Cases Painless for You


"The high blood alcohol content can often lead to a mistaken arrest for DUI. A medical test for GERD is one of the possible steps that an experienced Tacoma DUI lawyer like Kim E. Hunter would take to ensure that their client is not suffering from this condition. An endoscopy would be required to confirm it, but the minor discomfort is worth it to be cleared of DUI charges. Another tactic to cast doubt on the high BAC rating is to claim that the Breathalyzer is only analyzing the alcohol in the mouth from a recent drink. Two other strategies that can be used to fight a DUI arrest are to give another reason for your erratic driving and to contest the results of the field sobriety tests administered to you. For the former, a driver can display the same symptoms of driving drunk because of lack of sleep or mechanical problems with the car. As for the latter, failing the sobriety tests is not proof enough that you are dangerously intoxicated; a person may not pass these tests for other

Defend against Toughened DUI Laws with a DUI lawyer in Federal Way


"Washington State’s DUI laws are considered the “toughest in the nation” for good reason. If you get caught, you’ll have to serve a minimum of day-long to a maximum of year-long jail sentence, and pay corresponding fines with a minimum of $865.50 and a maximum of $5,000. Driver’s license will be suspended for a minimum of 90 days to a maximum of 4 years. Minimum jail time increases if there are prior offenses, if the BAC (blood alcohol content) is .15 or higher, or if the sobriety test was refused. You’ll also have to suffer the humiliation of having an ignition interlock device installed on any vehicle you drive for one year. In the event that you get caught, you still have alternative options to lower your DUI charges. People charged with DUI opt to enter a deferred prosecution program, which can be handled with assistance from an experienced Federal Way DUI lawyer like Kim E. Hunter.

Trusted Tacoma Criminal Lawyer Extends Her Services to Pierce County

"With countless criminal and DUI cases happening all across Washington year in and year out, it doesn’t come as a surprise whenever we hear defendants failing to put up a good defense and eventually ending up in jail. As an experienced criminal lawyer in Tacoma, I have decided to expand my practice to Pierce County in order to help more people facing charges for different kinds of misdemeanors and have no idea how to handle the situation. Considering how serious and sensitive some of these cases can become, defendants need a competent and compassionate lawyer who can understand not only the gravity of the situation, but also provide understanding, every step of the way. A DUI case, for example, entails technicalities and complexities that a defendant, who does not have ample knowledge on legal matters, will have a hard time understanding. Moreover, a DUI charge involves stiff penalties, which tend to rattle majority of the clients I have attended to in the past."

Trusted Kent DUI Lawyer Provides Aggressive Marijuana DUI Defense

"Oftentimes, a DUI charge is based on a police officer’s personal opinion. Blood tests confirm that THC is in a driver’s bloodstream but means not much else. An officer may make you take roadside tests to prove marijuana impairment, but these tests can be flawed in terms of application and interpretation of results. DUI is a serious charge that comes with heavy penalties. It could cost you your driver’s license, considerable amounts of money, and possibly rob you of your freedom. Such serious charges require serious defense from a knowledgeable Kent DUI attorney."

Prevent Stiff Penalties in a DUI Case with Help from a Kent DUI Attorney

Washington laws, however, don’t mandate that drivers submit to a breath test to determine BAC level, so drivers can refuse to take the test if they feel it will not serve their case well. However, those who do refuse to take the breath test can face an automatic license suspension for one year, and may have to pay a hefty fine. Individuals arrested for DUI should therefore consider turning to a skilled DUI defense lawyer in Kent to formulate a well thought out defense strategy that can help reduce or avoid strict penalties.

Reliable DUI lawyers, like Attorney Kim E. Hunter, will look into the circumstances of a case, and study the defense strategies that they can use to protect their clients. For instance, if a police officer failed to follow all legal procedures in making the arrest, the DUI case can be dismissed. Any test results or evidence arising from an unlawful or faulty arrest may also be deemed inadmissible in court.
