There isn’t just one penalty for DUI in Washington State. A first-time offender whose blood-alcohol concentration tested at least 0.08, or who refused a BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) test, faces all of the following:

• One day to one year in jail
• Fines and fees of up to $8,000
• DUI, alcohol and/or drug treatment
• 90 days to two years of driver’s license suspension and the ignition interlock device
• Steep insurance rate increases

Every DUI case can be defended. Sometimes BAC breath tests are unreliable. Scientists have shown that “breathalyzers” can be thrown off by circumstances from what you’ve eaten to how law enforcement administers the test. If you’re charged with a DUI, don’t plead guilty before you speak to us about your legal options.
