Premier DUI, DWI, and Traffic Offense Defense

Driving under the influence is heavily prosecuted in Washington state, and a conviction carries severe, immediate consequences, including mandatory jail time, exorbitant fines, the installation of an ignition interlock device, and the suspension of your driver's license. With over 38 years of practice, James B. Feldman is a highly respected authority in DUI and DWI defense. If you need to book a consultation following a traffic stop, we act immediately to scrutinize the state's evidence. Our DUI and DWI Defense Lawyers meticulously challenge the legality of your initial traffic stop, the administration of field sobriety tests, and the calibration of breathalyzer equipment. We have a long history of successfully negotiating reduced charges or securing complete dismissals based on procedural errors. Beyond DUI cases, our Traffic Ticket Lawyers provide robust defense against serious traffic infractions, including negligent driving, reckless driving, and stoplight violations. We fight diligently in municipal and district courts to keep points off your record, preventing devastating insurance rate hikes and preserving your essential driving privileges. 🚘

Aggressive Drug Offense and Property Crime Representation

The ”War on Drugs” has led to severe penalties for even minor narcotics offenses, and successfully challenging these charges requires a sophisticated understanding of constitutional law. Our Drug Crime Defense Lawyers excel in defending clients against allegations of drug possession, distribution, and manufacturing. We conduct a rigorous analysis of police procedures, search warrant applications, and the techniques used to gather evidence. By leveraging landmark Supreme Court rulings regarding warrantless searches and digital privacy, we frequently expose illegal search and seizure tactics, moving to suppress illicitly obtained evidence. In addition to narcotics cases, James B. Feldman provides highly effective counsel for a wide range of property crimes. If you are facing allegations of theft, possession of stolen property, forgery, or fraud, our Theft and Burglary Defense Lawyers work tirelessly to challenge the prosecution's narrative, questioning witness credibility and demonstrating a lack of criminal intent to protect your permanent record. 💼

Defending Against Domestic Violence and Violent Crimes

Allegations of domestic violence carry an intense social stigma and immediate, life-altering legal consequences, including the issuance of strict no-contact orders that can force you out of your home and separate you from your children. James B. Feldman understands the deeply sensitive and often volatile nature of these cases. Our Violent Crime Defense Lawyers approach domestic violence charges with meticulous care, thoroughly investigating the context of the allegations, uncovering false accusations fueled by ulterior motives, and aggressively defending your rights in court. We handle all levels of assault and violent crime charges, ensuring that the prosecution is held to the highest burden of proof. We recognize that these charges can unravel your personal and professional life, and we are committed to providing the discreet, powerful advocacy necessary to resolve the matter as favorably and quietly as possible. 👪
