BUI (Boating Under the Influence)

Need a solid defense against your BUI charge in Washington State?

Call our Washington BUI attorneys today.

The majority of people in Washington live either on the coast, near lakes and rivers or in the area near Puget Sound, and boating is a popular recreational activity in our state. What many people do not realize is that the operation of watercraft is fully regulated by law, similarly to driving motor vehicles, and you can be arrested for boating under the influence of drugs or alcohol under RCW 79A.60.040.

It is a Washington misdemeanor offense, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. If you are convicted, you will have a criminal record and you may be placed on a strict probation.

To avoid such a negative outcome, you need a hard-hitting Washington criminal attorney to represent you as the case progresses. Come to Washington criminal attorney Jason S. Newcombe for a consultation regarding your BUI arrest and to discuss a strategy for defending against the charges.

We are an established boutique criminal defense firm with the resources and experience to take cases in Olympia, Tacoma, Everett, Seattle, Bellingham, Mount Vernon or Bellevue, and with more than 30 years of combined experience, we know how important it is for you to avoid a conviction.

An attorney from our firm will represent you in court and seek to have the charges dismissed or reduced to a less serious crime, or to have you exonerated if possible.
