Felony crimes are much more serious than misdemeanors and include such offenses as r**e, armed robbery, burglary, and sales or distribution of illegal drugs......

Felony crimes are further classified by their seriousness in a complicated system. Fifteen seriousness levels exist from Level I to Level XV which carry corresponding sentencing ranges for each level. Furthermore, pre-sentencing reports are typically called for by judges which will be considered in sentencing. These reports will contain such information as criminal, family, and employment history, psychological assessments, statements from victims, and more.

Whether you are faced with a misdemeanor or felony charge, your future can be seriously impacted by a criminal conviction. Such a conviction can affect future employment, career advancement, student loans, professional licenses, and even renting an apartment. Getting competent legal representation to minimize these negative effects is critical. At Mondry & Mondry you can trust your case to a criminal defense attorney who is determined, focused, and dedicated to helping you get the most favorable results. By discussing your case in a free consultation, you will be taking a crucial first step in furthering your cause as you move through the legal.

After a first offense DUI conviction, most people are not restricted to remain in the State. However, for a second or subsequent DUI conviction, you may not be able to leave the state immediately, because probation must be transferred to the state where you are relocating/returning. This requires that you remain in the State for 48 hours so that you may be given instructions from that State’s probation department. We have helped many people from out of state deal with their DUI cases. If there is jail time to perform, that will often have to be done, but if the court allows electronic home monitoring instead, you may be permitted to do that from your home state. Likewise, you will probably have to obtain a chemical dependency evaluation in , but the judge may allow any recommended treatment to be done in your home state, so long as the treatment agency agrees to provide monthly compliance reports to the court and/or probation.

Unfortunately, a conviction for DUI will never be removed from your record. It is critical to speak with an attorney while there is time to take precautions to prevent a DUI conviction from going on your record in the first place.

If you have a prior offense will not count as a “prior offense” and this will be treated as your first offense as far as the mandatory minimum sentence is concerned—meaning the judge cannot give you less than that—however, the judge can always give up to 364 days in jail and the maximum fine. Since prosecutors and judges can still see the prior conviction on your record, the prior DUI likely will diminish the likelihood that the prosecutor will reduce the charge. The judge will also take your prior offense into consideration if you are convicted.

A conviction for Negligent Driving First Degree, Reckless Driving, or Reckless Endangerment, which was originally charged as a DUI, counts as a prior offense if the arrest dates are within seven years of one another. A prior Deferred Prosecution for DUI or physical control, a conviction for Felony DUI, Vehicular Assault, or Vehicular Homicide, within seven years, will also count.

if the prosecutor pulls your criminal history from the other state and sees that you have a prior conviction within seven years or if you admitted to the police officer or prosecutor or judge in court that you have had a prior offense. However, the out-of-state conviction will not count unless the elements of that crime are substantially similar to the elements as defined by Washington Law. The out-of-state prior does not count for the purpose of determining how long your administrative (as opposed to court-ordered) license suspension will be.

Since civil infractions are less severe than criminal law violations, the standard of proof for the government to meet is a lot lower. For criminal infractions the standard of proof is “beyond a reasonable doubt.” It is a very high burden for the government to meet in order to convict a defendant.

For civil infractions, on the other hand, the standard of proof is “preponderance of the evidence.” It is commonly interpreted to mean that more than 50% of the evidence weighs against the defendant. It does not have to be much more than 50%. Another way to describe the “preponderance of the evidence standard is to apply the “more likely than not.” Is it more likely than not that the defendant committed the traffic infraction.

Many drivers who attempt to contest their traffic tickets without the help of a traffic lawyer, quickly get a hard lesson that it does not take much for the prosecutor to meet the preponderance of the evidence test. It is very simple for you to lose your case if you attempt to handle your traffic ticket without the help speeding ticket lawyer. If the officer’s report says he saw you driving at a certain speed, then the court will find that you were driving at that speed. It will not matter what your speedometer read, that you think the officer could not have seen you, or that your grandma testifies that you never drive above the speed limit.

Driver who decide to contest their traffic tickets without the help of a skillful traffic lawyer think that if it is their word against the officer’s, it will not be enough for the government to meet their burden of proof. That is very inaccurate. The officer does not have to provide any independent proof of your traffic violation. His observation of the violation will suffice.

Your chances of winning your contesting hearing will increase dramatically with the help of a traffic lawyer.When you need the best on your side, choose Mondry & Mondry Attorneys at Law. Call for FREE CASE EVALUATION.

If you have been arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI/DWI) or have received a citation for DUI and you need DUI defense, you are facing one of the most serious traffic offenses that can be handled in District or Municipal Courts. If your BAC level is 0.08 or greater, you are facing two cases that you must defend: an administrative and a civil case in which the Department of Licensing seeks to suspend or revoke your licnese, and a criminal case in which you are subject to mandatory jail time (even for a first offense) for u p to one year, a fine up to $5,000, license suspension, SR 22 (high risk) insurance for 3 years, ignition interlock installed on your vehicle, you could be subject to deportation if you are not a United States Citizen as well as other mandatory penalties.

A DUI conviction cannot be expunged in the future. You can be charged with DUI even if you are BELOW 0.08. The law provides that you cannot drive a motor vehicle if you are affected by drugs or alcohol. You can even be charged for DUI if you are driving after taking your prescribed medication by your own doctor. If you are a minor you can be charged with DUI if you have a BAC level of .02 or greater. Having the right lawyer is critical.
