Seattle Traffic Lawyer | How to Beat a DUI

One of the things that makes me want to slam my head against the wall as a Seattle traffic lawyer are the actions some of my clients take when they are pulled over by Seattle cops. Some of the things they do are just incredible to me, although to the average person they may seem normal.

For example: talking to the Seattle police about what you've been drinking or where you've been all night; agreeing to take field sobriety tests; agreeing to take a portable breath test; and taking the breathalyzer test before discussing your options with a traffic attorney. Each of these things are classic mistakes that cops feed on when investigating a Seattle DUI to make sure they have you dead to rights when you do actually get a Seattle lawyer to help you with your case.

And the funny thing is that a lot people it seems almost feel bad about learning about their rights, particularly when it comes to learning your rights when it pertains to beating a Seattle traffic ticket. I think that happens because people don't want to feel like they are engaging in criminal activity, and that it will never happen to them. That is the thing about Seattle speeding tickets - they can happen to anyone at anytime, and you need to be prepared to fight for your rights, because the cops aren't there to help you.

I'm putting together a PowerPoint presentation and am thinking about entitling it "how to beat a DUI," but I don't want to scare people off who need to know this information but are hesitant because of the title. Got any suggestions? I'm more than willing to listen.

Bottom line, if you are cited with a Seattle speeding ticket you need to have a Seattle traffic lawyer on call that you can talk to. Don't wait until it happens, have someone that you trust that will help you when you need it.
