[LYNNWOOD, 04/17/2018] – Feldman & Lee PS provides legal assistance to those with driving under the influence (DUI) cases in Washington. As the state enforces stricter DUI laws to address the mounting mortality rate of distracted driving accidents, it emphasizes the need for professional and aggressive legal representation.

DUI-E Crackdown in Washington

The death rate for distracted driving crashes has gone up in Washington over the past few years. State lawmakers have responded by tightening regulations and renewing their decade-old DUI laws.

After a distracted driving crackdown, state patrols have begun enforcing a new law called DUI-E: driving under the influence of electronics. Experts hope that the new name will raise awareness of the dangers of using gadgets while driving. The new law prohibits motorists from using their phones while driving, in traffic, or at a stop light.

With stricter rules in place, it will be necessary for offenders to hire a DUI attorney to represent their case.

Feldman & Lee PS has over 40 years of experience handling DUI cases. Its attorneys represent clients facing DUI charges in every step of the legal process. This includes:

• Arraignment – During this first hearing, a judge will determine a person’s conditions for release. They will assess a person’s criminal history, breath alcohol level, and other factors to determine if the offender is a threat to the community.

• Pre-trial hearing – This preliminary hearing is the first opportunity for an individual to negotiate their case.

• Evidentiary hearing – This stage helps prepare the DUI case for trial. The judge determines what evidence is relevant to the case.

• Trial – The prosecutor presents evidence with the help of law enforcement officers and witnesses.

• Appeal – If an offender receives a conviction, an appeal can help them bring the case to a higher court to review certain aspects of the case for legal error.
