Washington DUI and Traffic Infraction Defense Lawyer
An arrest for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) calls for the immediate attention of an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Michael P. Brodsky, Attorney at Law has 13 years of experience in criminal law. At my Bellingham, Washington office, I vigorously and completely defend clients facing drunk driving charges, along with those charged with any type of moving violation. Contact me today for honest, aggressive, compassionate representation.
During my13-year career I have handled hundreds of DUI cases. Every case is different and it is important to have an attorney who understands the process involved with a successful DUI defense. I will take the time to understand your situation, concerns and unique circumstances. My experience allows me to quickly assess your case, explain your options, and prepare a strategy for your defense. I believe in open, honest and regular communication. In other words, your phone calls will be returned promptly. I care about my clients and I am dedicated to pursuing the best outcome in every case.
The possible consequences of a DUI conviction include jail time, heavy fines, increased insurance costs, the loss of a license and much more. A DUI is not the end of the world. Many of these consequences can be reduced or avoided altogether with the help of a knowledgeable defense lawyer. From voluntary treatment programs to plea agreements meant to avoid time spent in jail, it is vital to have an attorney dedicated to protecting your interests.
I also appreciate and address the unique problems facing Canadian clients charged with DUI and U.S. residents who travel regularly to Canada. A conviction for DUI, or even a reduced charge such as Negligent Driving in the First Degree or Reckless Driving may prevent admission to Canada for ten years!
One aspect of DUIs that most people don’t understand is that the Department of Licensing (DoL) can and will act independently of the Courts to suspend your privilege to drive for from 30 days to seven years. You have only 20 days to request a hearing from the DoL to postpone and hopefully, avoid a loss of your driving privilege. Further, the public defender cannot represent you in a DoL hearing.
Traffic Infractions
Traffic infractions can threaten your license and your livelihood. Increased insurance premiums and the loss of a driver's license or Commercial Driver's License (CDL) are among the many possible consequences of a traffic violation conviction. I handle moving violations and non-moving violations of every sort, from speeding to negligent driving in the second degree with great success. You have the right to a hearing to help you avoid the negative consequences of a traffic infraction.
Remember, you only have 15 days from the date of the violation to request a hearing. Delay could cost you your right to contest your ticket.
