Seattle, Washington, Criminal Defense Attorney

When you get arrested for a DUI you need an experienced lawyer to defend your case. I am Schoen Parnell, a leading DUI defense attorney in Washington. I have over nine years of experience defending individuals and protecting their rights. I am the former lead jury trial attorney for one of the busiest DUI defense law firms in Washington. I have extensive knowledge of the DUI process and am never afraid to go to trial. Contact me, "Shane," for a FREE consultation.

When we first meet for your FREE consultation, I will help you understand what your options are. We will talk about your case, your chances and about my strategic approach to your defense.

As your attorney, I will obtain all relevant documents, reports, and evidence from the prosecutor. I will investigate the scene. If you were arrested for DUI, I will go to the area where you performed the field sobriety tests. Perhaps the area was not level and, if so, I can have the grade measured and use that to weaken the prosecutor's case. That is precisely what defending a DUI is all about - weakening the prosecutor's case against you.

As your case progresses, I believe you will see me fiercely defending your rights, skillfully implementing your defense, and artfully negotiating with your prosecutor.
