DUI Defense Attorney
Washington State has tough Driving Under the Influence (DUI) laws with minimum required jail times, even if you refuse to submit to blood alcohol content (BAC) testing. First-time offenders face penalties of
- mandatory two days in jail,

- up to $5,000 in fines and fees,
- license suspension ranging from 90 days to two years,

Second-time offenders will see similar penalties, with a minimum 30-day jail sentence and a two-year license suspension. Convicted third-time offenders will serve a minimum of 90 days in jail and up to a three-year license suspension.

- interference with domestic violence reporting,
- malicious mischief,
- stalking,
- violation of a no contact order,
- rape, and
- unlawful imprisonment.
Domestic violence laws in Washington dictate a wide range of penalties depending on the class of your conviction. Most DV charges are gross misdemeanors, carrying penalties up to one year in jail and $5,000 in fines. However, penalties for felony DV charges range from five years to life in prison and $10-$50,000 in fines.
Additional consequences may accompany a domestic violence conviction including loss of the right to carry a firearm or vote, as well as potential loss of job or housing. Felony convictions stay with you, making it difficult to get a job even after you’ve served your time. Even being accused of DV, without a conviction, can hurt your reputation for years to come.

Traffic Ticket Lawyer
Often, traffic tickets seem like an inexpensive infraction. Why go through the process to hire a speeding ticket lawyer when you can just pay the fine? Tickets are often much more expensive than the $100-$500 fine stated on your speeding ticket.
In the state of Washington, moving violations remain on your driving record for three years. That is three years of increased insurance premiums on top of your fine. With an average increase of 15-25% of your annual car insurance premium, that traffic ticket will likely cost you hundreds of dollars a year while it remains on your record. For more serious offenses, it could end up costing you thousands.
For habitual offenders, you could be facing a minimum four-year driver’s license suspension, making everyday tasks, like commuting to work, seem impossible. If you are required to have a valid license as a term of your employment, you risk losing your job.
An experienced speeding/traffic ticket lawyer can often negotiate a reduced charge, lesser fine, or even have the case dismissed. Paying the fine is an omission of guilt. Before you sign that check, call Jordan Foster Law for a complimentary consultation and case evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q - Will contesting my speeding ticket make it worse?
A. No, contesting a speeding ticket will not make it worse. There isn’t really any pitfall to contesting a ticket other than the time you’ll waste at court. Hiring an attorney can be very beneficial as they can likely waive your appearance and handle it for you. A successful contest can also help avoid a moving violation on your record and avoid insurance hikes.
Q - Will I get a drug test on the date of my court appearance and what will my approximate penalty be?
A. Unless you have already been placed under probation, court supervision, or specific conditions of release it is unlikely you will be required to take a drug test. A charge of minor in possession (MIP) is classified as a gross misdemeanor under Washington law RCW 66.44.270. The penalty or punishment of a MIP conviction can be serious, including jail and monetary fine; not too mention a conviction on your record. However, if you have never been in trouble before, most courts and prosecutors will be fairly reasonable in these circumstances. Sometimes pre trial diversion agreements will be offered to teach you a lesson and hold you accountable, but also offer an alternative to a conviction.
If you’re facing an MIP charge you should really seek the advice of a lawyer. At such a young age, you don’t want your record tarnished, if possible. The court system can be very confusing and having a good attorney can help guide you through the process and fight for you.
Q - Misdemeanor charges at 17, what happens at 18?
A. You should know upfront whether he is currently being tried as an adult or a juvenile. If he is in the juvenile system currently, he will likely remain there. Different rules do apply between juvenile and adult court.
If this is in Pierce County, you should be able to get additional information from working with probation officer. I would also encourage you to reach out to an attorney on this matter.
Q - Can you be fined for failing to display disable parking tag properly on city street parking?
A. Yes, you can be cited and possibly fined for not properly displaying a parking tag. Many judges and parking enforcement will employ a strict letter of the law when it comes to proper display of parking passes/disabled parking tags. Unfortunately, you can’t always expect empathy or compassion from some people.
You should consider contesting the matter and request a court date before a judge. If you properly document the incident, bring in the display tag, and possible pictures of where it was displayed, you may find a compassionate judge who will let you go with a warning.
Q - How to get protection order from judge dropped?
A. To get a protection order dropped, you need to file a motion to rescind or remove. To give yourself the best opportunity for removal you should consult with a lawyer. Protection orders are put in place for a reason. The judge will not be compelled by the simple passage of time. You will need to demonstrate and show to the judge a very compelling reason(s) to rescind: factors such as counseling, treatment, medication, inherit bonds – family parent/children husband/wife, safety plans are just a few. Having third parties available for support can also help (e.g. family members, counselors). It should also be noted separate attorneys may help facilitate the request.
Q - How can I remove a no contact order between me and my husband from Washington?
A. I can only presume the No Contact Order (NCO) was put in place through a criminal court, and there is an underlying allegation of Assault or Malicious Mischief and the charge came with a Domestic Violence tag. If so, you may petition the court (file a motion) to ask the court or judge to Rescind the NCO.
Understand, the judge will not simply remove or rescind the NCO because you, or the alleged victim, is asking. There are a lot of factors the judge will consider before removing a NCO; such as, is this isolated incident, are safety plans in place, has anyone undergone treatment, were drugs or alcohol involved, etc. The judge wants assurance no further incidents are going to occur. To accomplish this, you should go speak with and hire an attorney.
Q - What I fail to yield for emergency vehicle?
A. Yes, contest the ticket! The facts and fine seem outrageous. I think hiring an attorney would be money well spent in this circumstance.
