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. Hunter to protect you using every defense available."

An Experienced Kent DUI Attorney Can Help Get You Out Of Hot Water


"Because blood is different, the court held, a warrant is required before it can be “searched” just as a warrant is needed for it to be “seized.” An established DUI defense lawyer in Kent from firms like the Law Offices of Kim E. Hunter would be able to use this court decision to throw out any blood test as evidence if the warrant doesn’t include it."
