DUI Defined
The state has the burden of proving that a driver was intoxicated or under the influence of a drug while driving. Police often obtain evidence through a blood or breath test but may also testify as to a driver’s behavior and apparent state of intoxication.
DUI as Gross Misdemeanor
DUI as Class C Felony
In certain circumstances, the law treats a DUI as a class C felony, which has a maximum possible sentence of five years’ imprisonment and a fine of $10,000. The state may prosecute an alleged DUI as a class C felony if the defendant:
-
- has at least three prior DUI conviction within the previous ten-year period
- has a prior conviction for vehicular homicide while intoxicated
- has a prior conviction for vehicular assault while intoxicated; or
- has an out-of-state conviction for vehicular homicide or assault while intoxicated
DUI is a Serious Offense
Alcohol and Drug Treatment
If you are facing criminal charges, it is crucial to have effective representation immediately. Alleged DUI charges does not mean Guilty!

“Snohomish Law Group attorney Philip Wakefield did an outstanding job in representing my daughter. He laid out the legal process in detail, set expectations, and worked hard to obtain a better than hoped for result. Should anyone in the Snohomish area ever need an attorney, I highly recommend Snohomish Law Group!!”
David Dalton
“I’m going to write my review straight forward I was looking at being convicted of my 10th DUI I thought I was dead meat as they had me dead to rights. However Mr. Wakefield and his team proceeded to not only get the charge reduced but also no fine and no jail time. My eternal gratitude to the Snohomish Law Group”
Jonathan Thomas
“Mr. Wakefield and his expertise was able to get myself and my siblings a large chunk (Much more than we imagined) of our inheritance from our Auntie that was wrongfully taken from us after her passing. We are eternally grateful to Mr. Wakefield and all that helped him in our case, to achieve this settlement. Thank you so much for your compassion.”
