A DUI (driving under the influence) arrest may be the single most stressful event you have ever experienced.

We represent clients from as for north as Whatcom County all the way south to Snohomish County. DUI defense attorney David Jolly is ready to talk to you if you have been arrested or are under investigation for any type of DUI arrest, whether it be a DUI involving alcohol or a DUI involving drugs.


By consulting with and eventually retaining a 
DUI lawyer Whatcom County, Snohomish County or Skagit County prosecutors are immediately put on notice that your case will involve much more work on their behalf.  Their case will now be scrutinized and investigated and not assumed to be straight forward and an easy conviction.  The more you make a prosecutor work, but better the chance that you’ll receive a more favorable outcome.   We can meticulously examine every part of your arrest, from the initial police stop to the field sobriety tests to the DOL hearing and the final trial. After our investigation, an aggressive defense strategy will be mounted and taken to court if your charges have not been reduced or dropped before then.


The extent of the penalties for drunk driving in Washington depend on whether you were charged with DUI with a BAC above 0.15 (or a “refusal”) or less than 0.15.  Regardless of the apparent severity of your Whatcom County DUI charge, you could be required to pay steep fines and court costs, receive a license suspension, complete an alcohol drug evaluation, enroll in an alcohol education program, attend a DUI victim panel, install an ignition interlock device for a minimum period of one year, obtain SR 22 insurance and serve a jail sentence. You will also be placed on probation for as much as five (5) years. However, these penalties are only if you are convicted or driving under the influence and it is our objective to ensure this does not happen. It is important to remember you have options when facing a serious charge such as driving under the influence.  Please call our office to talk about your case and the viable options you have when facing a DUI.

KNOWLEDGE & THOROUGH LEGAL UNDERSTANDING

dui


Very few law firms have the same experience defending driving under the influence cases. David Jolly has authored and has had published 14 books on the subject of DUI. Talk to one of the most educated, experienced and successful DUI defense lawyers today.

David Jolly has been practicing DUI law in Washington for more than 20 years and the law firm has significantly more than 60 years of combined DUI experience. He is a graduate of Northern Illinois University College of Law and was the graduating Valedictorian. While in law school he represented the school in national moot court competitions and founded the law school's largest student organization. His professional career started as a prosecuting attorney in Snohomish County. He never lost a DUI trial as a prosecutor. After his nearly four years as a prosecuting attorney he left the prosecutor's office and began representing private clients.  He now calls Bellingham, Washington home and his main law office is located in downtown Bellingham, directly across the street from the Whatcom County District Court and only 2 blocks from Bellingham Municipal Court.

I cannot recommend David and his staff enough. He has represented me on a DUI and a speeding ticket. I felt ashamed when I was arrested for DUI but David and Janean never judged me and from the very first meeting, were caring and thoughtful. The results were excellent too, as the DUI was reduced to a far less serious offense with no jail and no license suspension. If you want to be taken care of look no further. If you want a lawyer who is knowledgeable and honest, look no further. If you simply want a sleazy sales pitch, look elsewhere.
