DUI Defense
Snohomish Law Group provides specialized DUI defense services, challenging field sobriety tests, breathalyzer accuracy, and forensic evidence. Our attorneys leverage scientific expertise and certifications from law enforcement organizations to protect clients' rights. We address license suspensions, ignition interlock requirements, and sentencing alternatives, ensuring strategic defense tailored to Washington State's strict DUI laws.
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice covers felony and misdemeanor charges, including assault, drug crimes, and sex offenses. Attorneys with investigative backgrounds dismantle prosecutorial evidence while prioritizing plea negotiations or trial strategies. We emphasize constitutional rights protection and minimizing long-term impacts on clients' personal and professional lives through dismissals or reduced charges.
Personal Injury
We represent clients injured in motorcycle, car, and boating accidents, pursuing compensation for medical costs and emotional trauma. Our approach combines evidence collection, insurance negotiations, and trial readiness to maximize settlements. We focus on clients' recovery needs while handling complex liability claims against negligent parties.
Forensic Evidence Analysis
Leveraging our attorneys' chemistry and private investigation backgrounds, we conduct forensic evidence reviews of DNA, toxicology reports, and accident reconstructions. This scientific approach challenges prosecution claims in DUI and criminal cases, identifying procedural errors or flawed methodologies that weaken opposing arguments.
License Restoration
We assist clients in contesting DUI-related license suspensions and navigating ignition interlock requirements. Our process includes administrative hearings, SR-22 insurance guidance, and compliance strategies to restore driving privileges while minimizing professional and personal disruptions caused by transportation limitations.

Contact Snohomish Law immediately to protect your license and rights. We'll help challenge the arrest validity, field sobriety tests, and breathalyzer accuracy while preparing your defense strategy.
Can a first-time DUI charge be dismissed?
Yes, many first-offense DUI cases result in dismissals or reduced charges through evidence challenges, procedural violations, or negotiated plea agreements tailored to your specific circumstances.
How does Snohomish Law handle complex forensic evidence?
Our attorneys with chemistry backgrounds and private investigation experience analyze DNA reports, toxicology results, and accident reconstructions to identify flaws in prosecution evidence.
What are the penalties for a DUI conviction in Washington?
Penalties include license suspension (90+ days), fines ($900-$1,500+), ignition interlock requirements, and potential jail time, with severity increasing for repeat offenses or high BAC levels.
Can I keep my license after multiple DUI charges?
We aggressively contest license revocation through administrative hearings and alternative sentencing proposals, though Washington State imposes strict penalties for repeat DUI offenses.
