Physical Control in Federal Way

Our Federal Way Physical Control Lawyers Will Help You Fight This Confusing Charge

A physical control violation is one of Washington's most serious drunk driving crimes. It is also one of the most misunderstood. A Federal Way physical control violation conviction incurs mandatory penalties that will affect both you, and possibly your entire family.

Driving Under the Influence(DUI) is described as operating a motor vehicle with a blood-alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher. A physical control violation is different because you don't have to be in the process of driving a vehicle to be charged with this crime. If you appear intoxicated as a police officer approaches your parked vehicle, whether sitting in the passenger side or even the backseat, you can be charged with this crime. You can even be charged with a Federal Way physical control violation if you were sitting or standing entirely outside of your vehicle.

These cases can be complicated and require an in-depth knowledge of the law, so contact the Federal Way physical control attorneys at the Law Office of Jason S.
