Everett Lawyer Criminal Cases - Attorney at Law - Cases Relating to Speeding, DUI, DWLS, Misdemeanor, Felony - Serving Everett Lake Stevens Edmonds Arlington and Lynnwood in Snohomish County WA

The role of the attorney in representing persons who have been charged with a crime is fundamental to our system of justice, and is protected by the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution. Anyone charged with a crime faces not only the potential of jail or prison time, but also fines, loss of licenses and a lasting impact on their future employability and credit. Protecting the liberty of the accused requires compassion for the defendant, as well as zealous representation in court proceedings to safeguard all their rights.

Even when a person wishes to accept responsibility, they still need representation to protect their rights and obtain a reasonable and fair outcome. When wrongly accused, they will need zealous advocacy from arraignment to trial, to fight the charges against them. Every criminal defendant is therefore entitled to fair treatment and effective representation. I am pleased to undertake representation of those accused of either misdemeanors or felonies.

DUI/DWI

DUI/DWI charges occur throughout our socio-economic ladder, and carry severe consequences for all. Our society is rightly concerned with the serious impact of intoxicated drivers on our roads, but penalties have become severe, and investigations and charging decisions are highly aggressive. Anyone charged with this crime should consult with an attorney to understand the potential consequences they face, as well as their rights and defenses. While the same zealous advocacy that is necessary for all criminal defendants applies equally here, so too a technical understanding of field sobriety and breathalyzer machines is crucial. Each and every case is unique, and must be treated with individual care and attention to achieve a fair and appropriate outcome.

DWLS

Another very common criminal charge is Driving While License Suspended. People often make the mistake of not understanding the serious nature of such a charge until too late. Anyone cited for DWLS should consult with a criminal defense attorney to ascertain their rights and defenses, and obtain effective representation.
