If an individual is pulled over on suspicion of DUI or drunk driving (in some states called DWI or driving while intoxicated), it is likely that you will be asked to take a blood alcohol concentration test.  Refusing the test will result in a suspension of your license, as by Washington law, just by driving on the road implies consent to the testing.  If your blood alcohol content is found to be .08% or above, the officer will arrest you for DUI.  It is notable that even if your blood alcohol level is below .08 %, you can still be arrested for a DUI depending on the circumstances surrounding the arrest. 

A first offense is actually no small matter.  You can spend from one day to a year in jail, as well as extensive fines.  It is not recommended that you handle a DUI charge without an attorney working for you.  In many cases the charges are dropped or reduced.  However, a reduced charge may not result in the return of your suspended license.  Call the offices of Baker, Lewis, Schwisow & Laws, PLLC.  An attorney will discuss your case with you and it can be determined what can be done for you.  It is crucial to get legal guidance when facing DUI charges, even when it is the first time.  Your license could be suspended for 3 months, even on a first charge.
