		Charged with Reckless Driving or Racing?
	If you are charged with reckless driving or racing, we can help you. That is what we do, day in and day out. Please give us a call and we will set up a time to meet with you. This consultation is free of charge and we will meet with you for as long as it takes to fully discuss your case and answer your questions.
		We have all been to trial and fought for our clients who are facing reckless driving and racing charges. We are good at it. Combined, we have over two decades of experience in helping people who are facing a reckless driving or racing ticket. We have found that people who receive these types of tickets do not always know the full consequences of these charges. This web site is designed to help you learn more about them. Here are some important facts to know about both reckless driving and racing charges:
			Criminal Offense: Reckless driving and racing are both crimes in Washington State. They are called "gross-misdemeanors" and punishable from 0-365 days in jail and a fine of $0-$5000. License Suspension: If convicted, both reckless driving and racing convictions lead to an automatic license suspension of 30 days. This suspension will take place at a minimum of 45 days after sentencing. SR-22 Insurance: If your license is suspended, you will need to have SR-22 insurance for 3 years. This insurance is often much more expensive than your current insurance. Immigration: If you are not a United States citizen and are convicted of reckless driving, believe it or not, you could be deported from the United States. For people who are not U.S. citizens, reckless driving offenses may have very serious immigration consequences.
		There is hope. Despite these serious consequences, many times it is difficult for the government to prove a reckless driving or racing charge beyond a reasonable doubt. For this reason, it may be possible to reduce this criminal offense to a civil traffic infraction, or in some instances, even get it dismissed. While we cannot promise that this will happen in your case, we have had a lot of success in getting it done in the past. If the prosecution is not willing to make such a reduction, then we will take your case to trial for you. You have a right to a jury trial in these cases, and we are both trained trial attorneys willing to fight for you. So, please give us a call. We would be happy to speak with you and go over the options you have for your reckless driving or racing charge!

P.S. – this is the disclaimer that our insurance carriers probably want us to make:
		Disclaimer: The legal system is complicated and people often find it has as many twists and turns as a maze. This is certainly true with Washington State reckless driving. It is for these reasons that the information contained in this site is not legal advice and does not substitute for speaking with us, or any other Washington State attorney out there about the particulars of your Washington State charge. Each Washington State charge really is unique and really does require individualized attention through a face-to-face consultation. The pages in this web site contain a lot of information, but just reading it does not make one an experienced attorney. Washington law is very complicated and heavily litigated and there is a lot more information out there than can be put on just one web site, or probably even learned in a lifetime for that matter. Please, only make decisions about your case based on the personal advice of a lawyer. GB, PF, & AK
