DUI is a serious offense in Washington State, the state with the toughest DUI laws in the country. Here DUI is a gross misdemeanor crime which carries harsh penalties if convicted.

Considering the harsh penalties involved, a strong DUI defense provided by Lynnwood DUI /criminal defense / traffic lawyer Paul Hanson may enable you to enjoy your life without losing your driver's license, going to jail, having a permanent criminal record, paying large fines and much higher auto insurance $ premiums, having an ignition interlock device (IID) required in your car, and not being able to enter Canada.

But being arrested for DUI does not mean you will automatically be convicted. A good DUI lawyer can help help you avoid these harsh DUI penalties and obtain much better options.

Lynnwood attorney Paul Hanson investigates everything, from inaccurate blood and breath alcohol tests, to the arrest location's road conditions, traffic patterns, weather, environmental conditions, and your personal medical conditions which might affect your police blood/breath alcohol tests. Because police mistakes can result in improper traffic stops / DUI arrests and inaccurate DUI breath / blood testing can yield inaccurate results, he will thoroughly analyze all of the evidence to find facts which can help your defense and avoid a DUI conviction.

If you suffer from alcoholism,drug addiction, and / or a mental condition which results in your DUI offense, you can completely avoid a DUI conviction and almost all the DUI conviction punishments, by petitioning the court for a DUI Deferred Prosecution before trial. Deferred Prosecution requires completion of a two year alcohol/drug treatment program at a state approved alcohol / drug treatment agency, total abstinence during treatment, an ignition interlock device installed in your car for one year, payment of court costs, and successful completion of 5 years court probation. After 5 years, your DUI charge is then completely dismissed.

So if you've been arrested for DUI, you should not automatically just plead guilty
