Just Arrested? Critical Steps to Protect Yourself
The first 48 hours after an arrest are critical as one needs to be presented before the judge (excluding weekends and holidays) for the initial appearance. We attend bail hearings, help prevent harmful statements, and begin building your defense right away.
Do
Exercise Your Right to Remain Silent
You are NOT required to answer police questions without an attorney. Politely state, "I want to speak with my lawyer" and refrain from further discussion. Anything you say may be used against you.
Request an Attorney Immediately
At any stage, let that be arrest, booking, or interrogation, clearly request legal counsel. Police are required to stop questioning once you invoke this right.
Don't
Consent to Searches
You may politely decline searches of your vehicle, home, or phone without a warrant. Stating, "I do not consent to searches," helps protect your rights.
Discuss Your Case with Anyone
Jail calls are recorded, and cellmates may testify against you. Only speak about your case with your attorney. Our conversations remain privileged and protected.

What to Expect: Criminal Case Procedures
Arrest & Initial Appearance
After arrest, you will appear before a judge within 48 hours. We attend this hearing, advocate for your release or reduced bail, and obtain charging documents.
Investigation & Discovery
We gather police reports, body camera footage, witness statements, and lab results and develop defense strategies. Prosecutor MUST also disclose any exculpatory evidence usually termed "Brady Material"
Pretrial Motions
We file motions to suppress unlawfully obtained evidence, seek dismissal of charges on legal grounds, or exclude prejudicial information.
Plea Negotiations
We negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges, dismissed counts, or favorable plea agreements. You retain the final decision on any plea offer.
Trial or Resolution
If an acceptable resolution cannot be reached, we proceed to trial. Our attorneys are experienced and prepared to advocate for you in court.
Sentencing or Appeal
If convicted, we advocate for the lowest possible sentence. We also handle appeals when errors have occurred during trial.
Washington is a Sanctuary State—Know Your Rights
Criminal charges don't automatically mean deportation, but you need the right defense strategy.
We coordinate with immigration attorneys to ensure your criminal defense protects your immigration status. Don't plead guilty without checking immigration consequences.
What Sanctuary State Means
Washington limits cooperation with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement)
Local police cannot detain you solely for immigration status
Criminal courts do not automatically report to ICE
You have protections even if you're undocumented
Why This Still Matters for Your Criminal Case
Some criminal convictions WILL affect immigration status
Certain crimes are "aggravated felonies" (trigger deportation)
Plea deals must be "immigration-safe" (not all prosecutors concern)
Federal charges bypass state sanctuary protections
Your Urgent Questions, Answered
The answers that matter when your freedom is on the line.
No. Even if you are innocent, statements to police may be misinterpreted or used against you. Remember: You have the right to remain silent and request an attorney who can communicate with the police on your behalf.
Misdemeanors carry up to 90 days in jail and $1,000 fines. Gross misdemeanors allow up to 364 days in jail and $5,000 fines. Felonies range from Class C (up to 5 years) to Class A (life imprisonment). Penalties vary by offense and criminal history.
Yes, in some cases. We challenge DUI arrests by questioning the legality of stops, breathalyzer calibration, blood test procedures, and officer training. First-time offenders may qualify for deferred prosecution. Each case is unique.
Not necessarily. Many first-time offenders receive deferred sentences, probation, or alternative programs instead of jail. Your criminal history, the type of offense, and our defense strategy all influence the outcome.
Domestic violence protective orders are civil matters but often accompany criminal charges. These orders can restrict contact, require you to leave your home, and limit firearm possession.
A warrant may be issued. DO NOT ignore this—contact us immediately. We can often quash warrants and get you back on track without arrest.
This depends on the strength of the evidence, police procedures, witness credibility, and legal issues in your case. We provide an honest assessment and pursue the best possible outcome, whether that is dismissal, reduction, or acquittal at trial.
Take the first step towards a better life.
