Bailing out of jail is a confusing process if you have never been arrested before. It is even harder for those who are trying to do it while incarcerated. The best thing your loved ones can do is call a criminal defense attorney in the area where you were arrested so you can get a referral to a bail bonds service to facilitate your release.

Car accidents are confusing when it comes to injuries and paying medical bills. They are extra challenging with pedestrian accidents because the injuries can be very severe. When a pedestrian is injured, there is an option for an additional insurance to use while waiting for the case to move to settlement or trial. You should meet with an experienced personal injury attorney to know your options. The at-fault driver's insurance adjuster will not tell you about this insurance.

If you are being charged with DUI or some other crime and you do not have a court date, you need a DUI or defense attorney to monitor the case. It is easy to get a warrant for failing to appear at your Arraignment. Many cases in Kitsap and Thurston county are being charged by the prosecutor but the defendant does not know about the court date and has not received a Summons. This is a bad way to start a criminal case. Judges and prosecutors do not look at you in a favorable way when you miss your first court date. Hire us to monitor your case.

If you were arrested or stopped for DUI or impaired driving due to marijuana, make sure you have a lawyer monitoring your case for criminal charging. Many DUI cases are initially dismissed or an Arraignment never happens so that the state can wait for the blood draw or other evidence. This means the speedy trial rules don't apply until you get charged. So, make sure you know if a criminal charge is coming so you don't get a warrant for failing to appear for court.

Domestic Violence Assault cases are very common. In Washington, they are especially tricky due to the mandatory arrest rule that requires law enforcement to arrest someone where there is a domestic relationship. The no contact order that is in place can be devastating for families and make it impossible to communicate for many months. These cases really need the guidance and help of an experienced criminal defense attorney.
