DUI Defense Attorney In Olympia, Washington
DUI Charges Are Serious
Whether it’s called “driving under the influence” (DUI) or “driving while intoxicated,” Washington State treats impaired driving as a serious offense.

These penalties can apply even if the incident happened outside of Washington.

Can I Fight the Results of a Breath or Field Sobriety Test?
As a licensed driver in Washington, you’ve already given what’s known as “implied consent” to chemical testing if a police officer has probable cause to believe you're driving under the influence. An officer may ask you to perform roadside tests—like standing on one leg, walking a straight line, or reciting the alphabet—or request a breath test. You do have the right to refuse, but doing so can lead to an immediate license suspension and other consequences under state law.
If you refused a test, there may still be legal options available. If you agreed to testing, the results aren't always as straightforward as they seem. Breathalyzers, blood tests, and urine tests can sometimes produce inaccurate readings due to equipment issues, human error, health conditions, or even environmental factors.
If you’re facing DUI charges, don’t assume the case is closed. Attorney Christopher Taylor in Olympia can review the details of your situation and help you understand your options. Reach out today to discuss your case.
Is It Possible to Get Past DUI Convictions Expunged or Sealed?
Depending on the details of your conviction and Washington law, it may be possible to have your DUI record sealed or vacated. While not everyone qualifies, if you do, taking steps to clear your record can make a meaningful difference—especially when it comes to employment, housing, or background checks.
In Washington, vacating a conviction doesn’t erase it entirely, but it can remove it from public view and restore certain rights. Christopher Taylor can review your case and help you understand whether this option is available in your situation.
If you have a prior DUI conviction and want to explore whether your record can be cleared, contact CR Taylor Law, P.S. in Olympia to schedule a consultation.
