Seattle DUI follows the Washington DUI law and implements the same when it comes to punishing DUI convicted individuals. However, there are quite a few issues that need to be considered when a person is faced with an arrest and or is convicted for DUI in Seattle. ‘Will I have to serve jail time? If yes, for how long? Is there any possibility for probation? What are the fines? Will my license be suspended? If yes, for how long?’ – These are the most common questions that every Seattle DUI attorney / Washington DUI Attorney faces day-in and day-out from their completely ignorant and careless clients.
Here are some of the laws, facts and figures regarding Washington or Seattle DUI fines and sentencing:
Jail: For first offense not less than 1 day nor more than 1 year of imprisonment. Imprisonment may be deferred or suspended only if the court finds out that it a y cause a substantial risk to the physical or mental well-being of the offender. In that case, the court may order to install an EHM or Electric Home Monitoring device (an alcohol detection breathalyzer may also be included) at the expense of the offender for 15 days.

Imprisonment may be deferred or suspended only if the court finds out that it a y cause a substantial risk to the physical or mental well-being of the offender.
