Each year, <a href="http://www.statisticbrain.com/number-of-dui-arrests-per-state/">1,500,000 people are arrested</a> for drunk driving. If this has happened to you and you’re charged with a DUI, you still have the option of taking a plea deal. Prosecutors will reach out at some point, as long as you’re willing to plead to a certain offense. Although this may sound like the best option, there are some considerations you need to be aware of before agreeing on anything.<br />
<br />
<h2>
Plea Bargain Deals Vary</h2>
Not all plea bargains are equal. They do vary, depending on the severity of your DUI charge. There may be times when you’re offered multiple deals, in which case you can select one that satisfies all parties. Then there are other times when you’re given a one-time deal and have to decide on the spot. Read more from this blog: <a href="http://bit.ly/2uYI1ib" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/2uYI1ib</a>Kim E.

A protection/restraining order is a court order that prevents your abuser from committing further acts or threats of domestic violence against you. It can prevent an abuser from making contact or coming within a certain distance of the victim. It also has the power to compel the abuser to move out of a home shared with the victim, even prohibit him from carrying firearms if necessary.</div>

The blaring siren and bright lights of a police car behind you can be a highly stressful experience for anyone. This is especially true if this is the first time you’ve been pulled over by a police officer or if you know you’ve consumed even a tiny bit of alcohol. Ideally, you should not be drinking and driving at all, but if you ever find yourself in such a scenario, here are a few steps your criminal defense lawyer would want you to take:</div>
<div style="background-color: #faf9f5; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #363431; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", Baskerville, "Book Antiqua", Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 17px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Stay Polite, Stay Safe</div>

Even if you feel as if you were pulled over unfairly, try to remain polite with the police officer. More often than not, bad behavior and rudeness is linked to intoxication in <a href="http://khunterlaw.com/" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #943526; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">DUI</a> cases.

Drunk driving reached endemic proportions many years ago in the United States. In 2014 alone, over 1.1 million people were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. You may have even found yourself charged with the offense.<br />
<br />
However, just because you are pulled over by a police officer does not mean life as you know it is finished. There are effective ways to handle this precarious situation.<br />
<br />
Refuse the Field Sobriety Test<br />
<br />
After getting pulled over, the officer may ask you to undergo a sobriety test to see if you have been drinking. You should absolutely refuse the field sobriety test. Unlike the breathalyzer test, there are no serious consequences for refusing a field sobriety test. You also do not benefit at all from taking the test because of its subjectivity. The test is merely a way for the officer to further incriminate you by extending the chances of a slip up on your part, which the officer will most likely use to charge you with a <a href="http://khunterlaw.com/dui-defense/">DUI</a>.<br />

<a href="http://khunterlaw.com/">Domestic violence</a> is a serious enough matter that nearly 20 people per minute are victims of it in the United States alone. Allegations in this regard are upheaving to all concerned. If you are ever charged with domestic violence, you need to know how to handle yourself on the legal landscape.<br />
<br />
Don’t Speak to the Police<br />
<br />
If a third party or the alleged victim contacts the police, you are not legally obligated to talk to them. Statements made at the time can be used against you because the police are trying to establish the correct party to arrest. Exercise your constitutional right to remain silent, and do as the officer says if they decide to apprehend you.<br />

After a DUI arrest, you will most likely be required to show up in court. This process, also called an arraignment, is designed so that you can arrange a few details. To survive this process in a stress-free manner, you need to know how it works and consider some advice.<br />
<br />
Arrangement 101<br />
<br />
You have two ways to plead to your <a href="http://khunterlaw.com/">DUI</a> charge: guilty or not guilty. It’s always important to plead not guilty at this time, especially if you believe there is substantial evidence or witnesses that can substantiate your claims. Even if you didn’t pass the breathalyzer test, you should never admit fault in court.<br />

For some, it’s not enough to just attend an event or party. Drinking is a social pastime that can be hard to resist among peers. However, the consequences of drinking and driving can be dire. So, follow the advice of a <a href="http://khunterlaw.com/">DUI lawyer</a> who has seen it all around Puyallup. <br /><br />You certainly don’t need to remain sober all of the time, but when you’re going to be stepping into a car after a party, event or meeting, make sure you’re not under the influence of alcohol. <br /><br /><b>Find a Friend Who Shuns Drinking </b><br /><br />It’s likely you won’t be the only one at an event who is limiting their alcohol consumption. Scope out other sober party goers; stick with them or befriend them. You’ll feel much less inclined to drink if people near you aren’t drinking. If a close friend who doesn’t drink accompanies you to the party, so much the better. He or she can even drive home with you.

It can be tempting to get into the car after a few too many drinks around Auburn and hope for the best. In reality, though, there are more far reaching consequences to committing a driving while intoxicated offense than just a slap on the wrist and a chat with a <a href="http://khunterlaw.com/">defense attorney</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />Driving under the influence (DUI) is a criminal offense, and incurring such a conviction can impact your life significantly. Here are some likely consequences of blemishing your record with a DUI. <br /><br /><b>Immediate Punishment </b><br /><br />In Washington, even first time DUI offenders can be punished severely. Prison time is even possible—up to a year for first-timers and longer for those with a previous record. Read more from this blog. <a href="http://bit.ly/2kNJ9mg">http://bit.ly/2kNJ9mg</a></div>

The DUI laws in Washington State are pretty straightforward: anyone found to be driving a vehicle with blood alcohol content of 0.08 or more, or who is operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs, may be found guilty of a DUI offense. Unfortunately, the possible outcomes of that arrest may not be so straightforward. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />Once you’ve been arrested in Federal Way, you should contact a <a href="http://khunterlaw.com/locations-served/federal-way/">DUI lawyer</a> from the local area as soon as possible. They’ll be able to explain the possible outcomes of a DUI. <br /><br /><b>Short Term DUI Consequences </b><br /><br />The best possible outcome is that your Federal Way DUI attorney gets your case dropped, dismissed or acquitted. This could be due to a lack of proof or inadmissible evidence, and can happen at any time following your arrest, though most of the time it happens soon after. Your defense attorney will work hard to prevent a conviction, but in the meantime, will help you get bail and put together a well-considered defense for your case.

Nobody deserves to be a victim of domestic violence. Sadly, such tragedy is extremely common. In the United States, domestic violence is the leading cause of injuries to women of ages 15-44. It exceeds muggings, auto accidents, and rape combined.<br />
<br />
Worse still, not everyone who is accused of <a href="http://khunterlaw.com/locations-served/auburn/">domestic violence </a>is guilty. If you’re ever accused of domestic violence, the potential consequences can be serious and long lasting. A domestic violence attorney near Auburn can be your most powerful ally in freeing you from such charges. <br />

In the United States, it is against the law to be in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. You can be convicted of a DUI if you get behind the wheel while your ability to drive is impaired and your blood alcohol concentration amounts to 0.8% or greater. Detection of THC or marijuana and other drugs in your blood can also lead to a DUI conviction.<br /><br /> Depending on the level of your impairment, punishment can range from minimal penalties to severe ones. Penalties can be administrative or criminal.<br /><br /> Though a DUI is certainly no laughing matter, it doesn’t necessarily mean you are automatically guilty. Should you ever be pulled over for driving under the influence in the Kent area, the assistance of a <a href="http://khunterlaw.com/">DUI lawyer</a> is vital. During such a stressful time, keeping your wits is challenging, but there are measures you can take to overcome such challenges.<br />

Distracted by holiday festivities, many people are less vigilant about staying sober when they know they’ll be driving, or refusing to drive at all when they’ve imbibed alcoholic drinks. They are also not as diligent about having designated drivers.</p> <p>Thanks to DUI statistics over the years, cops can now predict which holidays have an increased risk for drunk driving, which means they are hyper vigilant during these times. While many ordinary citizens may have a casual attitude about drinking and driving over the holidays, it’s important to remember that police officers never take drunk driving offenses lightly. Because of this, DUIs skyrocket over these holidays. Read more on this article:</p><br/><a href="http://bit.ly/2f9vlk5">http://bit.ly/2f9vlk5</a>Kim E.

This is why, just like in many states, traffic laws in the State of Washington are particularly stringent. Any driver in cities like Puyallup who is convicted with DUI faces a number of legal (usually long-term) consequences. Here are some of them.</p> <p>Driver’s License Suspension/Revocation</p> <p>The court may suspend the license of any DUI convict for a period 90 days to 1 year. The duration of which is based on the severity or frequency of the offense. This, however, doesn’t mean you are completely prohibited to drive a vehicle. In Washington, you may get a restricted license during your suspension called Ignition Interlock Driver License (IIDL). It will allow you to drive a vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device. Read more on this article:</p><br/><a href="http://bit.ly/2exzuNt">http://bit.ly/2exzuNt</a>Kim E.

However, if a defendant is involved in a case that has potential to turn into a civil suit, pleading “no contest” might be a better option. This is especially true if the defendant doesn’t want the details of the case to be publicized or if the outcome of the trial is uncertain.</p> <p>Nolo Contendere</p> <p>Nolo contendere or a “no contest plea” is different from admitting that you committed the crime, and is allowed in most states. If you plead guilty, you are essentially saying that you have no defense for your action and that the court can just levy punishment against you. Entering a no contest plea, on the other hand, means that you admit no guilt for the crime but the court will also determine punishment as well.

Just imagining all the food that you’ll get to share with your whole family is enough for you to look forward to this holiday.</p> <p>On the other hand, Thanksgiving is also the holiday wherein drivers and pedestrians alike are more at risk of accidents. There’s a reason why the holiday is book ended by Black Friday and Blackout Wednesday: as it turns out, the combination of a four-day weekend, binge-drinking parties among college students, and a false sense of calm on the road make more people feel more confident on pushing their blood alcohol level over the (legal) limit.

Much has been said on when you should or should not agree to a blood test, especially when you’re apprehended for DUI.</p> <p>A recent ruling from the Supreme Court, however, changes things.
