Our Washington State DUI Defense Attorneys work in all courts in Western Washington and have offices in both Snohomish County and Whatcom County. We are proud of the professionals who work at this firm.
The history of the Firm dates back to 2004. In that year David decided that his then 8 years of experience as a prosecutor and in a private law firm gave him the necessary foundation to start representing clients as a private practitioner. The Law Firm opened its doors in Mukilteo in 2004 and then added a second office in Skagit County in 2005. In 2012 the Law Firm purchased a 2,000 square foot office building in downtown Everett directly across the road from the Snohomish County court house. Six months of hard labor later, the County's best law office was finished. Unfortunately, the Snohomish County government had other plans and less than 2 years later the office building was taken by eminent domain by the County, forcing the Law Firm to relocate to another office in downtown Everett. However, true to form the County only took possession of the building after a one year legal battle. The Law Firm has always fought to protect the rights of their clients and this new challenge forced the Law Firm to protect itself.
After a few years of becoming leaders in the legal community in both Snohomish and Skagit Counties, the Law Firm expanded its practice to include Whatcom County. The Law Firm has had its Criminal Law Practice in Bellingham for several years and is proud to play and active role in Whatcom County.

(i) The department shall require the person to maintain the device on all vehicles operated by the person and shall restrict the person to operating only vehicles equipped with the device, for the remainder of the period of suspension, revocation, or denial. Subject to the provisions of RCW 46.20.720(3)(b)(ii), the installation of an ignition interlock device is not necessary on vehicles owned, leased, or rented by a person's employer and on those vehicles whose care and/or maintenance is the temporary responsibility of the employer, and driven at the direction of a person's employer as a requirement of employment during working hours. The person must provide the department with a declaration pursuant to RCW9A.72.085 from his or her employer stating that the person's employment requires the person to operate a vehicle owned by the employer or other persons during working hours.
(iii) The time period during which the person is licensed under this section shall apply on a day-for-day basis toward satisfying the period of time the ignition interlock device restriction is required under RCW46.20.720, 46.61.5055, 10.05.140, 46.61.500(3), and 46.61.5249(4). Beginning with incidents occurring on or after September 1, 2011, when calculating the period of time for the restriction under RCW 46.20.720(2) or (3), the department must also give the person a day-for-day credit for the time period, beginning from the date of the incident, during which the person kept an ignition interlock device installed on all vehicles the person operates. For the purposes of this subsection (1)(c)(iii), the term "all vehicles" does not include vehicles that would be subject to the employer exception under RCW 46.20.720(3).
(6)(a) Unless costs are waived by the ignition interlock company or the person is indigent under RCW10.101.010, the applicant shall pay the cost of installing, removing, and leasing the ignition interlock device and shall pay an additional fee of twenty dollars per month. Payments shall be made directly to the ignition interlock company. The company shall remit the additional twenty dollar fee to the department.
​An Ignition Interlock Driver License (IIL) allows you to drive vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device while your regular license is suspended or revoked for an alcohol-related DUI or Physical Control. The details follow, but be certain to talk with your attorney due to the complexity of this new option.
While driving with an IIL, you must maintain an interlock device on all vehicles you drive, including employer’s vehicles you drive during work hours. You cannot drive a commercial motor vehicle while you have an IIL.
If you drive vehicles owned by your employer during work hours, the vehicles must be equipped with an interlock device. However, this requirement may be waived if your employer signs an Employer Declaration for Ignition Interlock Waiver. You must send to the DOL a copy of the signed declaration before you drive your employer's vehicles, and you must carry a copy of the declaration with you whenever you drive a work vehicle that isn't equipped with an interlock device. You must not drive an employer owned vehicle for the first 30 days, however.
The ignition interlock device (IID, or breath alcohol ignition interlock device (BIID)) is gaining popularity in governmental circles, court systems, and advocates against the crime of driving under the influence. The device is a breath test type apparatus that is connected to the vehicle's dashboard, or more correctly to its ignition mechanism. The instrument requires the driver to provide a breath sample before allowing the vehicle to start. If the breath sample renders a clean result (i.e. a blood alcohol concentration reading below the permitted amount (usually, 0.00, 0.02, or 0.04 per cent) the vehicle’s engine will start. Alternatively, if the driver provides a breath sample that is over the required amount then the vehicle will not turn over and the failed attempt will be reported to the governing agency.
While the vehicle is in motion (or the engine is turned on) the IID will randomly require the driver to provide another breath sample. The time between required breath samples is dependent on the calibration of the unit, however typically random breath samples are required every 10 to 20 minutes while the vehicle is in operation. The purpose behind the random breath sample is to prevent a driver from having a “sober” friend blow into the device starting the vehicle. If the requested breath sample is not provided or exceeds the required limit, the device will record the incident, warn the driver and then start up an alarm (e.g., lights flashing, horn honking, etc.) until the ignition is turned off, or a clean breath sample has been provided.
A common, but inaccurate belief is that interlock devices will turn off the vehicle’s engine if alcohol is detected. Due to the fact that this would then create an unsafe or dangerous driving situation that would expose interlock manufacturers to substantial liability, a vehicle’s engine does not turn off if a breath sample detects too much alcohol on a driver’s breath. It is physically impossible for an interlock device to turn off a running vehicle.
Most of the ignition interlock devices in use today use an ethanol-specific fuel cell for a sensor. This type of sensor is an electrochemical device where alcohol undergoes a chemical oxidation reaction on a catalytic electrode surface, typically made of platinum to generate an electric current. This current is then measured and converted to an alcohol equivalent reading. Fuel cell technology is not nearly as accurate or reliable as the infrared spectroscopy technology used in evidentiary breathalyzers. However, IIDs are obviously substantially cheaper and smaller and therefore more practical for more widespread use.
The devices keep a running record of the activity on the unit and this record, or log, is printed out or downloaded each time the device's sensors are calibrated, commonly at 30, 60, or 90-day intervals. In the DUI realm these records are provided to the courts for probation review and to the Department of Licensing in some instances. If the court still has jurisdiction and a violation is detected the court may require the driver to re-appear and possibly face addition sanctions.
An Ignition Interlock Device is required for all DUI and Physical Control convictions, including cases where no alcohol was involved. Some of the restrictions and conditions are below but as always, contact a local DUI attorney in Bellingham or Everett.
Court is required to order the Defendant to apply for an Ignition Interlock License on all DUI convictions, including drug DUI convictions
The “Good Defendant” rule: Before the DOL will remove the DUI conviction based ignition interlock restriction the DOL must receive a notice (declaration) from the Ignition Interlock provider that the DUI defendant has been good for 4 months prior to the removal date (i. no positive readings in the machine): RCW 46.20.720
-failure of the person to appear at the ignition interlock device vender when required for maintenance, repair, calibration, monitoring, inspection, or replacement of the device.
The court is not required to order an Ignition Interlock Device (but the DOL may still order one installed)
-”vehicles owned, leased, or rented by a person’s employer and on those vehicles whose care and/or maintenance is the temporary responsibility of the employer, and driven at the direction of a person’s employer as a requirement of employment during work hours.” RCW 46.20.385

War in a European Borderland examines the many regime changes that took place in occupied Ukraine during World War I. The decimation of people living between Austria-Hungary and the Russian empire - specifically Poles, Jews, Ukrainians, Belorussians, and the population of the Baltic states - extended to the destruction of their homeland as well, where most of the fighting occurred. Russian, German, and Austrian occupiers all worked to shape regimes in these borderland territories and the wartime policies and discriminatory legislation enacted upon this region exacerbated ethnic tensions.
Mark von Hagen looks at the main occupations of Galicia and Bukovyna between 1914 and 1918, particularly the Austrian rule of 1914; the Russian occupation between 1914 and 1915; the German- Austrian reoccupation of Galicia, Bukovyna, and the Russian provinces of Volynia and Kholm in 1915 and 1916; the second Russian occupation in 1916 and 1918; and, finally, the second German-Austrian occupation of most of Russian Ukraine in 1918. He traces the similarities among the various occupying forces as well as the important differences that shaped the individual regimes.
War in a European Borderland provides vital historical background to current events in Ukraine, and offers lessons on the problems faced by occupying powers. Further, the problems of the past remain sadly relevant for occupied civilian populations today.
"Mark von Hagen has produced a very condensed but solid work on one of the most complex yet insufficiently studied topics of the Great War. I highly recommend his book . . ."
"The book provides an illuminating and clearly focused outline that will benefit university teachers. Students also will appreciate a condensed and lucid version of a period that historians are often reluctant to approach because of its sheer complexity and rapidly changing regimes."

Volunteers are the backbone of the Friends’ active efforts to strengthen public libraries in Washoe County. Friends volunteers contribute thousands of hours of service — serving on the Board, helping at the office, working at Secondhand Prose, sorting donated books all year long, or working at the monthly booksales or the huge semi-annual Booksale Bonanza.
