Can Charges be Reduced after my first DUI in WA State?

Posted by Raymond Ejarque | Jul 24, 2019 | 0 Comments

After your 1st DUI charge, it is not possible to reduce your charge even after serving a 5 year probation AND even if you your driving and criminal record is clean since your DUI charge. The chance of a reduction after pleading guilty is none.  Unfortunately, DUIs cannot be vacated (expunged). The good news is that it will not be “prior offense” for the purposes of future DUIs after 7 years and it won't affect your ability to enter Canada after 10 years.  Reducing a DUI post-conviction is impossible in the state of Washington. Unfortunately, you cannot get a charge reduced post-conviction.

I guess the lesson here is to fight your DUI with a good attorney BEFORE you are convicted.
