Your license when you get a DUI is often a big concern for people.
When you have a DUI there are 2 separate legal processes to be handled.
One is the Criminal side of the DUI that is addressed by the presiding Court.
The other is the Administrative Hearing by the Department of Licensing.
The arresting officer will file the DUI report as required to address these two legal steps.
How Long is my License Good For?
The suspension of your driver’s license will begin 30 days from the date of your DUI arrest.
Department of Licensing Administrative Hearing
You have 7 days, from the date of the arrest, to request a hearing with the Department of Licensing to contest the suspension.
This hearing will be held by telephone and the results will be mailed to you.
What will the Department of Licensing Consider?
During your Department of License Administrative hearing the examiner will consider several details.
Were you under lawful arrest.
Did the officer have reasonable grounds to believe you had been driving or were in physical control of a motor vehicle in the state of Washington while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug,
Were you advised of your rights and warnings.
Did you refuse to submit to a test, or if you did take the test.
Did the test indicate an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more if you were 21 or over or 0.02 if you were under the age of 21.
What to Expect if We Handle the Hearing for you.
When you hire Merrill Law for your DUI, the Attorney will handle the Department of Licensing telephone hearing for you. When the examiner makes a decision, the results of the hearing will be mailed to you.
What to Expect If You Handle the Hearing Yourself.
The telephone hearing examiner will advise you that the testimony will be recorded and that all the testimony provided during the hearing is under oath.
The examiner will review the issues to be decided, and identify the exhibits. Exhibits may include the police report and breathalyzer report.
This is the opportunity to object to the admission of evidence or testimony. If an objection is made, the examiner will determine if it is appropriate to admit the evidence or testimony.
All the witnesses will be sworn in and the examiner will listen to their testimony. At this point you have the opportunity to testify, present evidence, cross-examine any of the state’s witnesses or you may bring your own witnesses to the hearing.
The hearing examiner will adjourn the hearing.
The examiner will review all of the submitted evidence. Then they will make a decision regarding the suspension of your license.
The review process may take the hearing examiner up to 6 weeks from the date of the hearing.
A temporary license will be extended for you that will be valid until the hearing examiner makes the final decision.
The examiner will mail a letter to the address that you have on record to notify you of the decision.
If You Do Not Request an Administrative Hearing.
Your license will only be valid for 30 days from the date of the DUI arrest. Your license will be suspended for 90 days or more.

What you need to know about Bail is that when you are charged with a Crime, the Judge will set conditions for your release.
These may include that you appear at future court hearings, do not get charged with another crime, as well as an assortment of other limitations.
To help ensure that you are inclined to follow the directions, they will often set an amount of money that you need to pay the court for your release. This is called Bail.
There are two ways that you can make your bail payment.
You can pay the entire amount to the Court. All of your bail money returned to you if you complete all the conditions and attend all of the hearings as required.
You can pay a fee of 10 percent of the total bail amount to a Bail Bonds company. At the completion of your case, your collateral will be returned. The bail bonds company will keep the fee.

Be aware that if you do not appear at your court hearings, or meet all of your conditions, you will forfeit your Bail money.

A Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor (SCRAM) bracelet is a device used by courts and probation officers in Washington State, including Everett and Snohomish County, to monitor alcohol consumption. This bracelet is typically used for individuals facing DUI charges and is designed to track alcohol levels in a person’s system continuously.
The SCRAM bracelet is securely attached to a person’s lower leg, just above the ankle, and provides real-time monitoring of alcohol consumption through a specialized process.
When is a SCRAM Bracelet Required?
If you’re arrested for DUI in Snohomish County or nearby areas like Everett, the court may require you to wear a SCRAM bracelet as part of your release conditions. Common reasons for being ordered to wear a SCRAM bracelet include:
Having prior DUI convictions
Having a high blood alcohol content (BAC) at the time of your arrest
Once ordered, the bracelet must be worn until your DUI case concludes, helping courts ensure that you’re abstaining from alcohol while your legal case is pending.
How Does a SCRAM Bracelet Work?
The SCRAM bracelet continuously monitors alcohol levels in your body by analyzing the ethanol vapor in your perspiration. This technology, called transdermal alcohol testing, allows the device to detect alcohol in your system even if you’re not visibly sweating.
Key features of the SCRAM bracelet include:
Automated Testing: The device tests for alcohol every 30 minutes, around the clock.
Data Storage: All data is stored in the bracelet and is uploaded to a base station at scheduled intervals.
Proximity to Base Station: You must be within 30 feet of the base station during data transmission.
Remote Transmission: Test results are automatically sent to your assigned probation officer or agent via a telephone line or wireless connection.
Limitations and Care Guidelines
While the SCRAM bracelet is highly effective in monitoring alcohol consumption, there are some important limitations and care guidelines to keep in mind:
No Tampering: The device is equipped to detect any tampering, obstruction, or damage. Attempts to interfere with the bracelet can result in additional penalties.
Water Restrictions: You cannot submerge the SCRAM bracelet in water. This means no baths or swimming while the bracelet is in place.
Showering: You can shower, but only with alcohol-free soap. It’s important to keep the area around the bracelet dry to prevent skin irritation.
Living with a SCRAM Bracelet
Having to wear a SCRAM bracelet can be a life-changing event, but it doesn’t have to define your future. If you’re in Everett or Snohomish County and have been ordered to wear one, it’s important to comply with all regulations and court orders to avoid further complications. At Merrill Law, we understand that navigating DUI cases can be overwhelming. Our legal team is here to support you through every step of the process and ensure that you have the best possible outcome.

A diagnostic evaluation of your alcohol or drug use history by a certified chemical dependency professional also known as an evaluator.
Why do I Have a Drug or Alcohol Evaluation Requirement?
There are a few reasons why someone would need to get a Drug or Alcohol evaluation.
The court may require an alcohol or drug evaluation as part of your probationary release of a current case.
The Department of Licensing requires an evaluation to reinstate your license, after a DUI conviction.
Your attorney may ask you to complete an alcohol or drug evaluation in order to help with negotiations with the prosecutor for your pending D.U.I. case.
The Evaluation Interview
The certified evaluator will ask you a multitude of questions to help assess your current alcohol or drug use.
They will review your:
Legal history
Blood alcohol content or evidence of drug use at the time of the arrest.
Case history including: age, marital status, education, any previous military service, job status, mental and medical health.
Current use of any prescribed or over the counter medications.
You will be required to submit a urine sample for a toxicology screening for drugs and alcohol.
Evaluation Completion
After the Evaluation Interview the Evaluator will gather required documents to complete the evaluation report.
Most agencies require the police report from the incident, your criminal background history, and a copy of your motor vehicle driving record. You will need to sign the treatment agencies release of information so they may submit it to the Attorney.
The diagnostic evaluation with suggested treatment measures are compiled from the personal interview and the data from the various reports.
Various Treatment Recommendations.
Treatment recommendations are made by the professional. The Evaluator will recommend the best course of action to take regarding your current legal issue for the court to review.
These may include intensive inpatient treatment, outpatient care, an 8 hour alcohol drug information school(A.D.I.S.) or a Victims Panel. And are specific to the individual case.

A Criminal Deferred Prosecution is generally related to a DUI.
A person will only qualify to use a Deferred Prosecution once in their Lifetime.
Important to know…
You are required to go through an Evaluation and must agree that one of the following was a contributing factor in your DUI.
Alcohol
Drugs
Mental Health
You need to complete an Outpatient Treatment program for 2 years.
You must abide by all Probation restrictions for 5 years.
Good News
If you do everything as instructed and do not violate any of the restrictions, your DUI will be dismissed.
Bad News
If you are convicted of a second DUI, this Deferred DUI will count as a prior offense. Which will add to the consequences.
Criminal Deferred Prosecution Details
A criminal deferred prosecution is something that should not be taken lightly. If you have been charged with a DUI or physical control in Washington State you are only eligible for deferred prosecution once in a lifetime. If you are able to complete all of the court imposed conditions after a 5 year period, the DUI charge will be dismissed.
Deferred prosecution has its benefits. It can help you keep your driver’s license, avoid having to serve jail time, as well help those with serious drug or alcohol dependency achieve sobriety.
EligibilityCriminal Deferred Prosecution
There is a strict criteria that you must meet before you can be eligible for deferred prosecution.
You cannot have been granted a deferred prosecution in your lifetime
You must be diagnosed by a court approved substance abuse counselor as alcohol dependent, drug dependent or have mental health issues diagnosed by a mental health professional
You must be enrolled and complete a 2 year treatment program for alcohol or drug abuse, or a 2 year treatment program for mental health treatment. RCW 10.05.020
When you enter into a deferred prosecution program you need to consider several court requirements
When you agree to a deferred prosecution for a DUI, you must give up the opportunity to fight your case in court. Meaning if at all during the 5 year period you are found out of compliance with the terms of the deferred prosecution, the presiding judge would read the police report from DUI charge, and you could be found guilty of the DUI charge without the ability to present evidence in your defense.
After you have successfully completed the deferred prosecution program and the DUI charge is dismissed, the deferred prosecution is still considered a prior offense. RCW 46.61.5055
When accepting a deferred prosecution you are legally required to state that you have an alcohol or drug abuse problem or suffering from mental health issues, and by stating this you agree that without professional treatment the possibility of a repeat offense is likely.
You are required to be abstinent from alcohol and non-prescribed, mood altering drugs during the 5 year deferred program. You will be required to submit random urinalysis tests through the treatment agency and probation to confirm your abstinence from alcohol or drugs.
A rigorous 2 year treatment program for alcohol, drug abuse or mental health is required.
There are several costs to consider when entering into a deferred prosecution program. You will be required to take financial responsibility for any treatment program expenses as well as probation costs. Courts will consider probation costs to be paid over a length of time, however it is important to understand that expenses can range in the $1000’s

Congratulations To Our 2021 March Educator Of The Month, Sara Coiley of the Everett High School.
Words cannot describe the impact Sara Coiley has had on my life (both academic and personal).
When I was a student in high school I was quite shy and very nervous. Sara took the time out of her day to connect with me and to give me the confidence to pursue theatre. If it wasn’t for Sara, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
She pulls resources together like nobody’s business and works with a club budget that isn’t nearly large enough for the program. Her time at Everett High has brought more students, diversity, and love into the arts and drama department at the school.
About the Everett High School Drama Club: The Theatre Program has over 100 students who partake in Theatre and Technical Theatre classes, and includes almost 100 students who participate in extra-curricular plays, improv and musicals each season.

His math teacher, Miss Rickert has offered after school tutoring for him twice a week and sends weekly emails to me regarding his progress. Under Miss Rickert, my son is now getting a 3.7 (A) grade, largely due to her assistance after school and inspiration. My son’s overall confidence has improved tremendously.

December Educator of the Month Lanna Duncan 2021
Congratulations to 2021 December Educator Of The Month, Lanna Duncan of Totem Falls Elementary.
Lanna Duncan is quite frankly the best thing that has happened to our school during the 9 years I have been employed at Totem Falls Elementary. Lanna came to us beginning in the 2018-19 school year as the first full time counselor we have been able to have. The energy, and fun demeanor is something that we desperately needed! The non-stop energy she has is amazing…and just before the school year she had a baby…she had every excuse in the world to be dragging daily…not her! Since joining our school she has joined me in being an advisor for our student counsel, a lead in our assembly creation team, and her many small groups she meets with daily/weekly to enrich the lives of students who need that extra bit of love. Since we have been in this online/distance learning model she not only checks in with her students that are on her own case load, but will check in with every single staff member to see how they are doing and if there is anything else that she can do to help them…all while going above and beyond doing her own job. She’s quite frankly amazing and I feel so blessed to not just call her a co-worker but a great friend as well. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of this honor.

A lot of people think that somebody ran into my car, I got injured, so that person’s insurance company is going to pay for all of my medical bills, and it is going to be fine. My insurance company is not necessarily involved. And that is not really the case.
Personal Injury Protection
Most of the time they have Personal Injury Protection. Someone hits my car, I have auto insurance, I have Personal Injury Protection, most people have it, through their auto insurance. That Personal Injury Protection is going to pay your medical bills until this settlement is reached from the at fault insurance company. The at-fault insurance company is not going to pay your medical bills, yet.
The Settlement
The settlement that we send out, we will send them the demand saying, these are all the damages that my client suffered. Give us this much money.
The at fault insurance company is going to settle. We will agree on a settlement, we will negotiate, whatever the settlement is. The money that your insurance company paid for your medical bills is going to get reimbursed, at a reduction. So most of the time they will reduce one third, so if they pay out $10,000, we only have to pay back $6,666. The rest of that money goes to you.
The Settlement Includes Money To Pay Your Medical Bills
So a lot of people think that the at-fault insurance is going to pay for everything. That is not necessarily the case, usually they are not going to pay until the settlement is reached. But the settlement is going to include all of your medical bills to reimburse whoever has paid for it at that time. Whether it be your auto insurance, or sometimes your health insurance will pay for your medical bills with the intention that they are going to get reimbursed at the settlement.
A lot of people say well this person injured me, so they are going to pay for everything right now, but that is just not really how life works. That is not the system that we have, but that is why you hire us.
We are going to take care of that for you. We are going to help you out and get you the settlement that you deserve.

We can deal with the insurance companies and get them a settlement. If someone’s injured and they want help or representation getting compensated for their injury.
Most of the cases we have are car accidents, pedestrians being hit by a car, we have a lot of dog bite cases, really any injury. It’s pretty overwhelming when someone gets in an accident. They have to deal with the medical, going to doctors and everything, getting better.
They have to deal with the insurance companies. The insurance companies are always trying to talk to them, hound them, I guess. And so it’s nice for us to kind of take that burden off of them.
They can focus on getting better, healing, working through their injuries. Helping take the weight off of their shoulders and that’s kind of what we do. We get them a settlement and get them the money that they deserve from being injured.

As a special treat Santa is reading stories for the kids to enjoy from his fireplace at the North Pole. Santa’s friend George enjoys hearing the stories.
Check back often to see what new stories have been added.
