Ignition Interlock Laws
An IID is a device that tests a driver’s breath to determine BAC. It prevents the engine from starting if the BAC reading is 0.025 percent or higher. An IID must be installed by a state-certified installer, who provides proof of installation to the state’s Department of Licensing. The driver is responsible for the cost of installing and maintaining the IID, although the state offers financial assistance for people who meet state poverty guidelines.
State law requires installation of an IID for a minimum period after a conviction for DUI and other driving-related offenses. For a first DUI offense, the minimum period that the state requires an IID is one year. For a second offense, the period is five years, and for subsequent offenses, it is ten years.

Removal of Ignition Interlock Device
A driver may have the IID removed after the end of the minimum period required by law, but the IID installer must provide proof to the Department of Licensing that, during the four-month period prior to seeking removal of the device, the driver has not attempted to start the vehicle with a BAC of 0.04 percent or higher, failed to maintain the IID properly, failed to pass retests required by law, or missed any such retests. Early removal of an IID results in suspension of driving privileges. Removing an IID while a restricted license, including an IIL, is in effect results in cancellation of the license. Removal of an IID after reinstatement of a person’s driver’s license, but before the end of the required IID period, results in license suspension.
Washington state law and the U.S. Constitution guarantee you certain rights in criminal investigations and prosecutions. If you have been charged with an alleged DUI offense, you should consult with an experienced DUI defense attorney, who can advise you of your rights in both a criminal case and an administrative license suspension matter.
If you are facing criminal charges, it is crucial to have effective representation immediately. An alleged DUI charge does not mean Guilty!
Even if you think the facts of the case aren’t in your favor, having the best possible criminal representation can be the difference between jail time and probation, or having your record destroyed with an avoidable felony or misdemeanor conviction. At Snohomish Law Group, our criminal defense attorneys give you time and attention, to ensure you are treated fairly under the criminal justice system.

“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.”
