Washington State Marijuana DUI Attorneys

Experienced Legal Representation in Washington State Regarding Weed DUI cases.

On December 6, 2012, a new law went into effect that makes it legal for a Washington resident to possess up to one ounce of marijuana. This does not, however, mean that a Washington resident can be under the influence of marijuana and drive a motor vehicle.

In fact, driving while high on pot is a serious crime with devastating penalties that are on equal footing with alcohol related DUI's. If you’ve been arrested for this offense, a Washington marijuana DUI lawyer from our firm can help with this urgent matter.

Pot DUI conviction in Washington State and the mandatory minimum penalties.

A pot DUI conviction in Washington will incur mandatory penalties that include time in jail, expensive fines, and a driver’s license suspension. As weird as it sounds, you will also be required to have an Ignition Interlock Device put into your vehicle for one year if you are convicted, even if you didn't have a drop of alcohol that night.

Pot DUI charges are filed if you are caught driving with .05 nanograms (or higher) of THC in your bloodstream. Doing everything you can to minimize the repercussions of a conviction makes sense, and a Washington drug DUI attorney can help you navigate the complex waters of the legal system.

In some instances where a person is pulled over by a police officer and suspects the driver is high on pot, they will call for assistance from a drug recognition expert whose job it is to determine whether marijuana has been consumed. In these cases, the details of the arrest need to be thoroughly examined by your Washington marijuana DUI attorney, because the so-called “expert” may have only been using their own discretion.

It is the job of your Washington marijuana DUI lawyer to investigate multiple means of creating an aggressive defense by examining police reports and other pertinent pieces of evidence.
