Q. What are the specific parameters needed to be considered in physical control of a vehicle?

June 6, 2023

A: One of the most important issues is where was the car/vehicle parked. Was it safety off the roadway? You need an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you. Make sure you have one.

Q. What is the penalty for three probation violations in Washington state. Dv4 charge from 2 years ago.

May 30, 2023

A: Your underlying attorney should be able to answer this for you and it depends on the charge that you have AND what the probation violations are for. If you don't have an attorney GET ONE. An experienced criminal defense attorney can get you the answers that you seek so that you can have peace of mind understanding that it may mean you are facing jail time/fines/both or other sanctions. Good Luck

Q. Is it possible to get assault 2 and assault 4 dv. Lowered if I complete anger management on my own before my next court

April 25, 2023

A: Oh there is a bunch of questions that need to be answered in your situation to determine what if anything would help your situation. You need to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you. One that has been in this type of situation hundred (thousands) of times and knows how to guide you. Good Luck
