SPOKANE, WA · DUI REDUCTIONS
NEGOTIATED OUTCOMES
Many DUI cases are resolved with a reduction to a lesser offense, such as negligent driving in the first degree or reckless driving. A reduction can mean lower penalties and fewer long-term consequences.
Reductions are usually negotiated based on weaknesses in the State’s case — a questionable stop, unreliable testing, or a borderline test result.
A reduction is not automatic. It depends on the evidence, your record and the strength of the defense presented to the prosecutor.
As a former prosecutor, Chris Bugbee knows how prosecutors evaluate cases — and what it takes to earn a better offer.
As a former Spokane County prosecutor with 30+ years of criminal law experience and nearly 200 jury cases, he handles your case personally.
WHAT TO KNOW
A reduction can be a strong result, but it is not always the best one. Some cases should be challenged or taken to trial.
Chris explains each option so you can make an informed decision.
A reduced charge can still carry consequences — understand them before you decide.
