DUI Criminal Penalties

The DUI laws in Washington state are some of the harshest in the nation. If convicted of DUI, the statutory maximum is one year in jail and a $5,000.00 fine. What are usually more relevant to most people are the mandatory minimum penalties. These are the penalties that a judge must impose, even if there are many mitigating factors.

In general, the key factors are whether a person has prior DUI's, whether the person refused the breath test, and the results of the breath test. For more information on the mandatory minimum penalties in Washington state for a DUI charge see:
