If you have been arrested for a DUI in the City of Seattle by the Seattle Police Department, your case will be filed into the Seattle Municipal Court.  As the largest municipal court in the state of Washington, there are several nuances to this court that can make the DUI process a somewhat different experience.  If you have a DUI pending in Seattle, you will need an DUI lawyer who has extensive knowledge of this court.

At Milios Defense, we have handled DUI cases in Seattle since 1994 and have extensive experience practicing within the Seattle Municipal Court.  From post arrest, through arraignment, pretrial, and trial or final disposition, our DUI lawyers can help you avoid some of the unique obstacles a DUI in Seattle can present.

Seattle DUI Charges Are Filed Quickly

If arrested in Seattle, you need to act immediately.

When a person is arrested inside the Seattle city limits by a Seattle police office, it is likely that the first court date will be scheduled within the first 72 hours.  Seattle prosecutors routinely seek bail and other conditions for a defendant to remain out of custody during their DUI case.  If the DUI was the result of an accident, if there is prior DUI history, if there is a high breath test or even a refusal to take a breath test, Seattle judges routinely grant these requests.

Don't be caught unaware or unprepared. Contact us as soon as possible after your arrest to determine what actions  you need to take prior to that first hearing to remain free on your personal recognizance while your DUI is pending in Seattle Municipal Court.

Advising Clients on Refusing Breath Tests: Revisited

"If I am arrested for DUI, should I refuse the breath test or should I take it?"   That's the question that I, and probably most DUI practitioners get asked by friends, relatives, and anyone else who discovers what we do for a living, get asked more than any other.  For quite some time in the state of Washington  the answer, with the exception of certain nuances, was pretty straight forward.

Where Did Your DUI Arrest Occur?

Concerns for DUI arrests not occurring in Seattle.

Just as the City of Seattle poses unique and difficult challenges for those arrested for DUI within its jurisdiction, the same applies to courts throughout the State of Washington.  Filing decisions and delay, pretrial conditions set by the court, potential outcomes, prosecutorial tendencies, probation, and types of hearings all can be affected by where the DUI arrest occurred and which police agency processed the DUI.  Anyone who has been arrested for a DUI or knows someone who has should find out as much as possible about the court in which the DUI will eventually be filed.  At Milios Defense, we have complied information specific to the major jurisdictions in Western Washington.  It is an expanding and involving endeavor but if you have been arrested in King, Pierce or Snohomish counties, you will likely find important information at the link below.
