About DUI Arraignments

After a DUI arrest, the suspect is given a date for an arraignment hearing in the courthouse.  An arraignment is the chance for a defendant to enter a guilty or not guilty plea to the charges against him or her for a DUI.  The decision of how to plea should be decided between the client and the representing attorney.  The penalties are harsh in Washington and some defendants choose to make a not guilty plea and request a trial.  The penalties for a DUI can include the following:

• Maximum 1 year jail time and maximum 5 years probation
• $5,000 fines, driver's license suspension, ignition interlock device
• Drug and alcohol treatment programs

Circumstances of a DUI can determine the severity of the penalty, such as multiple DUIs, underage DUI, DUI traffic accident with deaths or injuries, and others factors.  My firm can offer an aggressive defense for any type of DUI offense.  It is important to have strong representation from a skilled DUI defense attorney at each step and especially during the important step of the arraignment hearing.  I am committed to each of his cases and fights for the rights and freedoms of his clients when facing DUI criminal charges and during the arraignment hearings.  Make an appointment today for a consultation with an experienced DUI defense lawyer for representation at a DUI arraignment.
