Calls answered 24 hours a day. Call (425) 317-9000 to contact an experienced Washington criminal Defense Attorney
You went out with co-workers after a hard day of work and had a few beers. Or maybe you had a few drinks at a party. Maybe you had a little too much to drink on New Year's Eve or the 4th of July. Whatever the reason, you had too much to drink, and now you have been pulled over for drinking and driving.
Drunk driving charges, including driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI) are extremely common in the United States. What makes DUI/DWI different than many other crimes is the fact that many people arrested for DUI/DWI have no previous arrests or involvement with the criminal justice system. Many people arrested for DUI/DWI are successful professionals who never imagined that they might be arrested or possibly convicted of a crime.
If you have been arrested for DUI/DWI, the office of George T. Freeman is here to help. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day and we have significant experience representing clients charged with a drinking and driving offense. To schedule a free consultation with an experienced DUI lawyer at our office in Everett, Washington, call (425) 317-9000.
What to do if you have been pulled over for drinking and driving
If you have been pulled over for drinking and driving, do not argue with the police officer who stopped you. Do not yell, scream, or otherwise act in a belligerent manner. The police officer who stopped you will take notes on your behavior, and your cooperative or uncooperative behavior will be taken into account by the prosecutor.
If you have been pulled over, remember that you have a constitutional right to remain silent. Do not incriminate yourself. Invoke your right to remain silent. You have the right to contact a lawyer, but the police are only required to give you a reasonable amount of time to contact an attorney. Therefore, it is a good idea to keep the name and phone number of a criminal defense attorney in your car (in your glove compartment for example). If the police officer denies your constitutional rights, do not become violent or disruptive. If your rights have been violated, your attorney can raise this issue at an appropriate time.
