Reed’s diligence to your case

The Law Offices of Reed Yurchak and our associates and support staff are dedicated to protecting your rights, keeping you out of custody, and protecting your future – so that you can care for yourself and those you love. Our number one goal is spending the time it takes and the resources to ensure a foolproof defense is mounted to protect you. We have spent countless hours educating ourselves with every detail of the related law, the staggering number of cases before you, to provide you with the advice – which we pride ourselves in educating our clients. After a combined 30 years of legal experience, the tens of thousands of cases we have handled, we think we are as good as it gets when it comes to being in your corner.

As soon as you are being pulled over, it is important to say nothing, accept the ticket, and call us as soon as you are able. If you haven’t already, it would be convenient to bookmark our fixed-fee and customer payment page to upload your ticket, driver’s license, insurance information, and anything else you believe are important to us to best represent you. Contact our offices to ensure that you have at your disposal all your rights, options, and strategies for a solid defense.

It is also worth noting that we care very much for each of our clients. So much so, that we lose sleep if we don’t have the best defense for you.

Collecting evidence, writing what occurred at the time of the event, and securing names and contact information of eyewitnesses should be done as soon as possible after an incident or event involving your vehicle. The aforementioned information is critical in preparing your case. The police often make mistakes in documenting what occurred. They also do not have your interests in mind, neither does the other party or either of your insurances. A criminal traffic offense is materially different than a traffic infraction in that any finding of guilt may lead to time in custody.

“I’ve known Reed for several years. Put simply, he is a fantastic attorney. Reed is extremely intelligent, hard-working, and motivated. And his knowledge of criminal law, including traffic infractions, is second to none in the State of Washington. I would strongly recommend Reed to anyone looking for a criminal attorney.”

Types of criminal offenses

Hit and Run

This is a criminal offense in which a driver causes vehicular assault and subsequently abandons the scene of the event. Custody, fines, loss of your license are all on the table if you are convicted. And if you haven’t connected the dots, custody also means jail.

Reckless Driving

Is the result of an individual that operates a motor vehicle in a negligent manner which poses a danger and disregard for the safety and property may be liable for a reckless driving charge. The criminal traffic offense may result in time in custody, fines, and loss of the privilege of driving, however, those sanctions may be enhanced if the driver is found to have operated while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs – legal or illegal.

Driving with a Suspended License

Regardless of the why the initial license was suspended, a history of sanctions has begun and the additional charge of driving while his or her license is suspended, custody, fines, and additional time added to the suspension or full revocation may result.
