It affects employment, housing, professional licensing, and immigration status, and the stress it places on you and your family is real. Jason and his team believe every person charged with a crime deserves a prepared, aggressive defense. We handle the full range of King County misdemeanor and felony cases, including assault, domestic violence, theft, drug possession, harassment, malicious mischief, hit and run, reckless driving, no contact order violations, minor in possession, and others. Our approach starts with a close review of the evidence: the 911 call, body camera and dashboard camera footage, the officer's report, witness statements, medical records, and any digital evidence. We look for every weakness in the State's case and every defense the facts will support. Where self-defense, mistaken identity, lack of intent, or an unlawful search and seizure applies, we push hard for dismissal, suppression, or acquittal. Where the best outcome is a negotiated resolution, we use our knowledge of the local prosecutors and judges to secure reduced charges, diversion, or deferred dispositions that keep the client's record clean whenever possible. DUI Defense in King County DUI has been a cornerstone of Jason's practice since he tried his first DUI case as a prosecutor in Oregon in 1996. His background as a former prosecutor gives him a practical understanding of how the State builds a DUI case and, more importantly, where those cases tend to fall apart. Every Washington DUI case has multiple points of attack. Was the stop supported by reasonable suspicion? Were the field sobriety tests administered according to NHTSA protocols? Was the Draeger Alcotest 9510 breath test machine properly calibrated, was the operator currently certified, and was the fifteen minute observation period actually observed? The Draeger has been the subject of sustained source code review and scientific challenge by Washington defense attorneys, including concerns about breath temperature correction and fuel cell degradation. A breath result is evidence, not a verdict, and it can be challenged. There is also a critical deadline every King County DUI client needs to know about. Under Washington's implied consent law, you have only seven days from the date of arrest to request a Department of Licensing administrative hearing to protect your driver's license. Miss that deadline, and the administrative suspension is automatic regardless of what happens in the criminal case. If you have been arrested for DUI, please call (844) 925-2943 right away so we can protect your license while we build your defense. Traffic Ticket Defense in King County Many drivers do not realize that simply paying a traffic ticket is a guilty finding that will follow them on their driving record. The insurance premium increases over the next three to five years often cost far more than the ticket itself. For CDL holders and teen drivers on an intermediate license, the consequences can be even worse. Jason and his team handle speeding tickets, school zone tickets, construction zone tickets, negligent driving, failure to obey a traffic control device, HOV violations, following too closely, unsafe lane changes, no insurance citations, and other infractions throughout King County. We examine the officer's training and device certification, radar and LIDAR calibration records, school zone timing, sign placement, and every other angle that can support dismissal or reduction. Before you mail that check, call us at (844) 925-2943. A short conversation could save you thousands over the life of the ticket.
