DWSL Charges in Washington

A Case For Strong Driving with Suspended License Defense

If you have been charged with driving while your license is suspended you are facing jail time, fines, and the potential of having a criminal conviction on your driving record and increased insurance rates. If you are accused of driving while your license is suspended, it is important that you have an experienced lawyer on your side. There are several degrees of driving while your license is suspended. Here is an overview:
RCW 46.20.342 is the Driving while license suspended statute.

Third Degree is the most common crime of driving while your license is suspended. This is a crime punishable up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. You can be charged with this crime even if you did not know your license was suspended. The prosecutor merely has to prove that you drove your car while your license was suspended in this or any other state. Any person who has a valid Washington driver’s license is not guilty of a violation of the DWLS statute.

Second Degree is punishable by up to one year in jail and a $5,000 fine. If you are convicted of this crime your license will be revoked for an additional year. If your license is revoked it means you will have to take the driver’s test again before you can get your license back.
First Degree is also punishable by up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine. There is mandatory jail time of 10 days if you are convicted on a first offense and 90 days for a second offense and 180 days for a third offense. This is the most serious driving while suspended offense.

      I came across Joseph Cutter firm by accident looking for a lawyer to remove several speeding tickets. That my son accumulated in a very short period of time. Anyways I spoke with Cutter on the matter he gave me a very reasonable price and he told me not to worry he got this. The next time we spoke he notified me it was a done deal short sweet and painless. Cutter name and contact information is permanent in my favorite phone contact list! Trust and believe he's the lawyer to call and traffic tickets is not all the services he has to offer. Satisfaction guaranteed and I'll cosign on that !!!
