been filed, you could lose your license for 90 days or more if you
do not take immediate action. You may also be subject to ignition
interlock requirements and SR-22
(high risk) automobile insurance.

Washington's DUI Statute (RCW
46.61.502) provides in part:
(1) A person is guilty of driving while under the influence (DUI)
of intoxicating liquor or any drug if the person drives a vehicle
within this state
(b) While the person is under the influence of or affected
by intoxicating liquor or any drug.

you were "appreciably affected," that is, affected to any measurable
degree.

FEES: A lot of people choose a product or service based upon the lowest fee as opposed to quality and experience. Keep in mind that the lowest quoted fee/bid may not necessarily be in your best interest: the DataMaster ("breathalyzer" you may have blown in to) when originally introduced in Washington State was selected because its original manufacturer, Verax, underbid the competition by thirty percent even though the State Patrol's own research showed that another machine "performed superior to the rest." So, when choosing a DUI attorney, consider that the experience, skill, and knowledge of the law and cases in Washington are how the attorney bases his or her fee.
