Re: Statue of Limitation on DUI cahrges from Washington State

The statute of limitations applies to filing charges. If the cases were filed and you got a warrant these can hang over your head forever. To deal with this with minimum contact with Washington you should hire a local attorney to work out a deal so you'll just need to appear, accept the deal, and return. But, I don't think you can wrap them up without appearing at least once. Contact me directly if you'd like help with the cases.

At your service,
