Anacortes Municipal court meets on two Thursdays per month. The court has Judges supplied by Skagit County and therefore they are familiar to those attorneys who do a great deal of criminal defense work in the County. I have known these Judges for many years and in fact, three of the four Judges (one is a Commissioner) I knew well before they arrived to the Bench. That being said, these Judges are tough and this is equally matched by the prosecuting attorneys. This is one court where you must have an experienced DUI defense attorney by your side.
Following your arrest for DUI in Anacortes you have the right to challenge the pending suspension of your license. To do so you must file a Department of Licensing Hearing Request form within seven days of your arrest. The Hearing process is not held in a courtroom though it does include presentation of evidence gathered by police. You stand a better chance of retaining your driving privileges with legal counsel. Time is critical though if you want to keep your license, so contact him now.
Being arrested for DUI in Anacortes poses many legal and financial obstacles. For even a first offense for drunk driving you will be facing jail time, substantial fines, increased auto insurance rates and loss of license. The penalties increase with each additional DUI arrest. Being found guilty of drinking and driving in Washington will result in a criminal record. That could make finding or keeping a job more difficult. Now more than ever it is important to call our office for a free consultation.
Anacortes uses the Skagit County probation department. Supervised probation is expensive and can cause you grief down the road. There are ways to avoid such problems and the way is to know what to do from the beginning. Completing an alcohol drug evaluation, ADIS class and DUI Victim Panel in the early months from the arrest is a good start.
None of us love these devices. If the year was 1980 we would all marvel at their technology but it is not 1980 anymore. The problems is these devices are flawed and any problems caused by the driver may result in 30 days or more of jail and an additional 6 months with the device. This is no joke and neither is dealing with these machines. Follow your attorney's advice but start learning about them early.
A Bail Bondsman will become your best friend if you are taken into custody (jail) following your arrest for DUI or, if you miss a court date and are picked up on a warrant. If that happens, call a bail bondsman as they can help you get out of jail faster and more affordably. I strongly recommend using local Mt Vernon Bail Bonds companies as they are more familiar with the Skagit County Jail.

Here is where we render our first warning. The prosecuting attorney for Anacortes is noted to be very tough and often unwilling to compromise. Do not expect sympathy and do expect a systematic and steril approach. If your BAC was over 0.15 or if there was an accident you can expect the City to request you be taken into custody or given very strict conditions of release. If this is not your first charge of DUI, you can expect conditions to be even worse. You can further expect the Judge to be inflexible and issue conditions or release that would not be issued in other courts. This is why you need an experienced Anacortes DUI attorney from the very beginning. As Anacortes DUI attorneys it is our job to examine the police reports, investigate the field sobriety tests, and of course the validity of the DUI breath test, blood draw, or refusal of either. There are many procedures and policies that must be followed and we understand that the failure to follow such procedures may render results inadmissible at trial, therefore giving your case a better chance of dismissal or an amendment.
In Anacortes DUI cases, the accused will appear in court within days weeks of the arrest. The only exception to this generalize rule is for drug DUIs or when the court is waiting for the results of a blood draw. In such cases the person accused of DUI in Anacortes can expect to be notified of an arraignment several weeks following the arrest. At the arraignment the Judge will advise the defendant of the charge, accept a plea of not guilty and give conditions of release to the person accused of DUI. Having an experienced Anacortes DUI attorney by yourself is a must in this court.
We understand the importance of a good DUI defense attorney. Anacortes Court is noted for their tough stance on driving under the influence cases and let us not forget, your whole future may be jeopardized if you select an inexperienced attorney or no representation at all.
