SPOKANE, WA · DUI SENTENCING
MANDATORY MINIMUMS
Washington DUI sentences start with mandatory minimums set by the sentencing grid. Judges can impose more than the minimum, and the final sentence can include jail or alternatives, fines, probation, treatment and license consequences.
Beyond the grid, judges look at the facts of the case, your record, and what you have done since the arrest — such as completing an assessment or treatment.
Preparation before sentencing can make a real difference in the outcome.
Chris Bugbee helps clients prepare for sentencing with the steps that matter most to Spokane-area judges.
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
Depending on the court and your case, options such as electronic home monitoring may be available for some or all of the jail time.
Completing treatment early and showing responsibility can support a request for the minimum sentence.
Steps you take before sentencing — like an alcohol/drug assessment — can help your outcome.
