Special Shoreline DUI Case Information

DUI is a serious offense in King County as well as Washington State, the state with the toughest DUI laws in the country. Here DUI is a gross misdemeanor crime which carries serious penalties if convicted.

Shoreline DUI attorney Paul Hanson investigates everything, from inaccurate blood and breath alcohol tests, to the arrest location’s road conditions in Shoreline, traffic patterns, weather, environmental conditions, and your personal medical conditions which might affect your police blood/breath alcohol tests. Because police mistakes can result in improper traffic stops and inaccurate DUI breath/blood alcohol test results, he will thoroughly analyze all of the case evidence to find facts and evidence which can help your defense and avoid a DUI conviction.
