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. To qualify, the defendant must be officially diagnosed as either alcohol or drug-dependent, or in

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."
