Many Washington residents find themselves in court in Ritzville, Washington due to an offense that is alleged to have been committed on I-90. The Washington State Patrol seems to stop and arrest a lot of individuals for DUI, and or reckless driving on that highway. Many individuals stopped are college students coming back to school after a break. Going to an out-of-town courthouse can be intimidating. Having an experienced criminal lawyer can assist you in protecting your rights. Because the court is often a long drive away, it may be tempting to just plead guilty in hopes of minimizing the number of trips over to the court. However, this may work against you in the long run, because you may be placed on probation for that county. Sometimes an attorney can appear at court dates for you or waive your presence. This may or may not be possible depending on the seriousness of your case.
