Washington DUI Defense:
Lawyers Who Know the Stakes
Although they can be more than serious enough on their own, court fines, jail time and the costs of hiring an attorney are only the immediate consequences of a DUI case and conviction. In fact, there are many others and what is important to know about those other consequences is that they can affect your life in dramatic ways long after the actual criminal case is behind you.

What Are the 'Other' Consequences?
One of the more immediate consequences of a DUI arrest or conviction is the drivers' license suspension. This has an especially profound impact on people who live in eastern and central Washington State where driving on a daily basis is almost required. Then, even if the suspension is lifted or work permit granted — you may also be required to have an ignition interlock device installed on your vehicle and to pay a monthly monitoring fee for that as well.
Another important but often overlooked consequence is commonly discovered for the very first time at the Canadian border. In simplest terms, Canada will not let you cross the border if you have a DUI conviction on your criminal record. And in this part of the country, that can be a very big deal.
Last, to put it bluntly, a DUI conviction is practically a license for your auto insurance company to print money (at your expense) for the next seven years. In fact, the total cost of your insurance increases over this time might dwarf what you spent on a lawyer, especially if you hired a less experienced attorney.
