I understand how a DUI conviction can negatively affect your livelihood and future opportunities. My goal is to keep your criminal record free of any smears. DUI's are complex and the consequences can vary depending on a wide range of circumstances. I've battled just about every type of DUI scenario you can imagine.
In Washington state, driving under the influence can be charged as a felony in certain circumstances: If you have four or more prior offenses in the past 10 years or if you have a prior conviction for a DUI-related vehicular assault or vehicular homicide. Being charged with a felony raises the stakes in DUI defense, since you are face life-changing penalties.
If you are arrested for drunk driving on a U.S. military base by military police, you will face federal DUI/DWI charges. While you may feel intimidated by the prospect of a federal court proceeding, proving those charges can be difficult for the government to do. I'm Schen Parnell, a DUI lawyer with offices in Lynnwood and Kirkland.
