Mukilteo WA Criminal Defense Attorney

We are an experienced DUI defense law firm with over 20 years of combined DUI law experience. As a former prosecuting attorney I understand the "system" from all perspectives. I have had published two DUI books with "DUI/DWI: The History of Driving Under the Influence" winning First Place in a National Literary Competition. I am also proud that we are the first law practice to have published an iphone DUI App that actually helps those charged with this crime. To that end, our practice is focused on defending those accused of DUI by using our experience, tenaciousness, hard work, and creativity to give our clients the best opportunity of defending and protecting themselves.

Finally, my office provides payment plans to made it affordable for you and we are also very competitively priced. We provide a free case analysis for anyone who calls. We have offices in Snohomish and Skagit Counties and our DUI attorneys are active in Snohomish, King, Skagit, and Island Counties.

We believe that representing clients is a great responsibility and privilege. We take a personal approach to each client and to each case. Our practice is based on our extensive experience in DUI law and our well developed relationships with prosecuting attorneys in Snohomish, Island, Skagit and King Counties. In order to serve our clients personally, we have an office in Snohomish County (Mukilteo) and in Skagit County (Anacortes).

Our exclusive focus is the practice of DUI law. We are DUI attorneys first and foremost and don't try to be all things to all people, we simply focus on this area of law with the very firm belief that we represent those accused of this crime better than any other practice. Our knowledge is not only based on our extensive experience as DUI attorneys (20 years of combined DUI practice) but also on the fact that David Jolly is an award winning author and has had published two highly acclaimed DUI books, "DUI/DWI: The History of Driving Under the Influence," and "The DUI Handbook for the Accused." No other author in the country has written a book that has outlined the history of all of the elements of the history of DUI and no other DUI attorney in Washington State has authored a DUI book for those accused of the crime. Our novel and progressive approach to representing those accused of DUI has served our clients well in the past and will continue to do so in the years to come. If there is an issue that can be used to your advantage, we'll find it and exploit it.

Finally, if you have been stopped, arrested, or charged with a DUI, please contact us for a free consultation. There is never any pressure to hire us and the consultation is free of charge. At the very least we will counsel you on the process, what you should be aware of, and can discuss your case prior to you proceeding. Our Snohomish County DUI attorneys, Skagit County DUI attorneys, King County DUI attorneys, and Island County DUI attorneys can and will help defend and protect you.

California Department of Parks and Recreation- Legal Clerk, Sacramento, CA; 2007

I am an ardent sports enthusiast; I like downhill skiing, running cross country, playing golf , disc golf, and am also a member of a men’s league soccer team. In college I was a member of the University’s debate team and also did some acting, which I still enjoy, creating short films with my friends. I also enjoy reading books, mostly historical non-fiction, and take pleasure in completing crossword puzzles. I always root for the underdog, and am honored and passionate about representing those accused of crimes. I am very proud of our law firm as we continue to serve those in our community who are in need of assistance.

I grew up in Seattle and ran cross country for Seattle Prep. I am a volunteer coach for the cross country team at Seattle Prep, and have a large extended family in Seattle. I attended college in Portland, Oregon, and moved to Sacramento, California for law school, but I have always called Seattle my home.

What do attorneys cost?

Although we do not to publish our fees, we are more than happy to tell you how much we charge on the phone or in person. Like the majority of DUI attorneys, we charge a "flat fee" which is one set fee and includes all of our work for court (all court dates, all preparation for court, all written motions, all meetings with clients, and all negotiation with prosecuting attorneys) and the Department of Licensing representation (preparation for the hearing, the written motion, and the attendance at the hearing).

If you contact different attorneys (and we do not discourage this) you will find that there is little consistency when it comes to fees. Depending on the County, fees will range from $2,500 for smaller Counties up to $10,000 for King County. However, it is fair to say that the majority of DUI attorneys charge between $3,000 (smaller Counties) and $6,000 (King County). It is our objective to be competitively priced and affordable for most of our prospective clients - in every County. As such, we price our services at the average price range and offer payment plans and different forms of payments (ie. check, credit and debit cards). While by no means are we the cheapest criminal defense firm, we do believe we are one of the most affordable DUI speciality firms. We further believe that no other firm in Western Washington can offer the same services, success, and experience for a similar cost.

Additionally, we also give our clients another option when it comes to representation. We charge different fees depending on which attorney represents you. This option gives more individuals charged with a DUI an affordable option at thorough, aggressive, and top of the line representation.

Due to the financial turbulence of 2008/2009 we have not raised of fees.
