If you’ve been charged with drunk driving in Seattle, Washington you are facing very serious penalties.

With so much at stake, you should contact McNeese & Trotsky today for a free consultation with an aggressive Washington DUI defense lawyer and find out how we can help defend your rights.
There are many things that police officers look for, when determining if a person appears to be driving under the influence, such as:
- Making turns with a wide radius
- Swerving
- Weaving in and out of lanes
- Driving with the headlights off
- Signaling inconsistent with driving
- Driving the wrong way on a street or highway
- Breaking erratically
If you are pulled over for suspected drunk driving in Washington, the office will most likely ask you to perform a field sobriety test, a blood alcohol test and will observe your physical state, including whether or not you smell like alcohol, have red or bloodshot eyes, and are slurring your speech. There are many factors which may affect a field sobriety test or a police encounter in general, such as nervousness, fatigue, and intimidation.
