Tacoma DUI Defense Attorney
In recent years, drunk driving (DUI) has become an increasingly serious crime. Prosecutors and the courts, responding to the political pressures of public opinion, have become relentless in "throwing the book" at those convicted of DUI. As a result, the skill, effort, and creativity required to defend clients charged with driving under the influence has intensified. The days are gone when someone charged with DUI could expect to pay a lawyer one to two thousand dollars and expect to "get off" in a "plea bargain." At the Scholl Law Firm, P.S. we have almost 15 years of legal experience working with people in the Tacoma, Washington, area who have been arrested for driving under the influence. We can help you find your way through the complicated maze that is the criminal justice system. Contact our office to arrange for your free (in many cases) initial consultation.
Washington DUI Defense Lawyer
Successful DUI defense requires an understanding of the highly technical forensic science of blood alcohol concentration. It requires the legal skills necessary to prepare to take the case to a jury trial, and to persuade an often skeptical jury that the government cannot prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Additionally, it requires the tenacity to negotiate with hard-nosed prosecutors. Most important, however, if you have been arrested for drunk driving, you are going to need an attorney who has the desire to help someone who is in deep trouble, and the professional dedication to keep fighting and never give up.
We devote a considerable portion of our practice to the area of DUI defense. Our DUI defense lawyer spends a great deal of time keeping up to date on DUI defense skills and tactics. He has more than 100 hours of specialized DUI defense training in the last five years and is a graduate of the National College of DUI Defense at Harvard Law School, one of the most intensive and respected training programs in the nation for DUI defense attorneys. We have developed a broad network with some of the finest DUI defense lawyers in the United States. If your DUI case is unusually challenging, our firm will use this network to help you get the answers and defense you need and deserve.
