Washington Criminal Traffic Defense
Bellevue Criminal Traffic Lawyer
Some driving offenses are crimes, not ordinary infractions. A conviction may bring jail, probation, fines, license consequences, and a criminal record.
More Than a Ticket
Take a Criminal Traffic Charge Seriously
Yranela & Associates represents clients facing criminal traffic charges in Bellevue, King County, and throughout Western Washington. The facts surrounding the stop, alleged driving, accident, arrest, and other evidence can all matter.
If you have been arrested, cited, or ordered to appear, speak with an attorney before deciding what to do next.
Do you have a court date?
A criminal traffic charge may require an appearance. Ignoring a summons or missing court can make the situation worse.
Criminal Traffic Charges We Handle
Experienced representation for misdemeanor and gross-misdemeanor driving charges.
Reckless Driving
A gross misdemeanor that can carry jail, substantial fines, and a driver’s-license suspension.
Hit-and-Run
Leaving an accident scene can bring criminal charges involving vehicles, property damage, or injuries.
Negligent Driving, First Degree
Allegations of endangering people or property while exhibiting the effects of alcohol, cannabis, drugs, or other substances.
Driving While License Suspended
Washington recognizes three degrees. Consequences depend on the reason for suspension and the driver’s history.
Other Criminal Traffic Offenses
We also handle other misdemeanor and gross-misdemeanor traffic charges. Contact us if you are unsure whether your citation is criminal.
Don’t Treat It Like an Ordinary Ticket
The officer’s written charge is not necessarily the only possible outcome. An attorney can review the evidence, identify defenses, and explain your options before you make decisions affecting your record or driving privileges.
