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 was really stressed about my ticket, but they made the whole process so easy. They took care of everything and got it dismissed without me even having to worry. Super responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. I’m very grateful and would absolutely use them again.”
R. McDonald
I had an excellent experience with this lawyer who helped me fight both a speeding ticket and a carpool (HOV) lane ticket — and got both of them dismissed.
From the beginning, he was very professional, responsive, and clearly knew exactly how to handle traffic cases. He explained the process in a simple and honest way, took care of everything, and made the whole situation completely stress-free for me.
What really stood out was how confident and prepared he was in court. Thanks to his work, I avoided points on my record and saved a lot of time and money.
If you’re looking for a reliable lawyer to fight traffic tickets and actually get results, I highly recommend him.
