My law practice takes a unique view of the practice of law.  Our DUI Defense look at each and every case from different perspectives.  Obviously we look at the DUI case from a Washington DUI Defense attorney's perspective and how we can defeat each case or portions of evidence, but we also like to think outside the box.  For example, there is always a chance that our client's story, the things that make our client unique and inherently good, cannot be ignored.  While this personal approach doesn't work in every case, there are many that it will. Therefore it cannot be overlooked.

 

Our DUI defense lawyers service most of Western Washington from Skagit County, Whatcom County and Snohomish County  We have two offices serving our clients.  For Skagit County DUI cases we have an office in downtown Mt. Vernon near the courthouse.  For Bellingham DUI cases we have a Bellingham office conveniently located next to the Jail, Whatcom County District Court and Bellingham Municipal Courts.

 

Our representation is not limited to these County courts however.  We have an active practice in Lynnwood Municipal Court and in fact, I have practice Lynnwood DUI cases since 1998 when I became the City's prosecutor.  I believe we have the best team of Lynnwood DUI attorneys because of intimate knowledge of the Lynnwood DUI system.  We have also represented hundreds of clients who have received a DUI in Mill Creek, Edmonds, Mukilteo, Marysville, Mountlake Terrace, Bothell, Monroe and Arlington.


We have always maintained a very busy presence in representing those charged with DUI in Skagit County.  I had an office in Anacortes for more than 8 years and have represented hundreds of fine people charged with DUI in Anacortes and Mount Vernon DUIs for more than a decade. We maintain our busy Skagit County criminal defense practice so call today if you have been charged with a crime in Skagit County. 

Finally, we work hard to earn our clients respect.  That is probably why they speak so highly of our group of lawyers in their client testimonials.  No matter if you have been charged with DUI, a misdemeanor criminal charge, or a traffic ticket, my practice an my fellow attorneys are here to help.

Look No Further
If you find yourself in need of a DUI lawyer, look no further than David Jolly.  My case was, undoubtedly, a very difficult one. I was charged with DUI, hit&run, and reckless driving, with the incident in question resulting in significant property damage to a business. To be frank, I thought my life was pretty much over.  That said, from my initial consultation, David was very optimistic about getting me a positive outcome. Every time I brought a new detail to his attention that I thought would irreparably complicate my case, he would respond, “okay, here’s how we can work with that.” And work with it he did.  In fact, David worked tirelessly on my behalf for months, even taking several short-notice phone calls at my request during a time surrounding a death in his family. He clearly cared not only about my case, but about me as a human. In a court system often characterized as unfeeling, the compassion David showed me and the peace of mind that he afforded both me and my family was worth its weight in gold.  In the end, David struck an excellent deal with the prosecutor. I truly could not be happier with the outcome of my case. Through his dedicated hard work, positivity, and compassion, he has given me a second chance in life. For this—among countless additional praises I could sing—I could not be more grateful.  The sooner you call the Law Firm of David Jolly, the better.

Saved Me - Great Lawyer
I don't often review anything but David did so much to help me that he deserves it. David helped me in Skagit County. I messed up but he (and Janean) were so compassionate and helpful. He promised he would work hard and he did. We got a better result than I thought and want to thank him and Janean. Phew - glad it's over but happy I had him by my side.

Walk Taller with David Jolly
I cannot say enough about David and his staff or thank him enough. Thank you, thank you. The result he got for me was a neg 1 from DUI and I think I am lucky. The case wasn't good but he helped me from the very start and was persistent with getting the best deal, not just any deal. Janean was great and helped me understand the license stuff and was great on the phone. If you're looking for the best package with lots of experience and a great reputation, look no more. Thank you David and Janean.

The best of the best, literally wrote the book on DUI defense (many)
So I wish I would of met David under different circumstances but as it was he defended me in a DUI case. The team of David and Janean at David Jolly Law is really an uplifting breath of fresh air for anyone that hasn't navigated this brutal and broken process. They help you go through every step of the way, from dealing with the DOL to Alcohol assessment all the way to trial if it comes to that...everything. I don't know how people do it alone or with a public defender. I also encourage you if you're facing this decision in northwest Washington to read David's book. It really helps anyone understand. My case came out as good as it possibly could have and more importantly I had someone by my side helping which I am most thankful for.

Had the misfortune of being charged with DUI and the great fortune of finding David. Incredible result with a reduction and no supervised probation - and my DUI wasn't pretty. Thank you David and team.

Would highly recommend David Jolly
Our daughter was cited/arrested for a DUI based on a improper turn. She was released a hour later and was expected in court early the next morning. I phoned the offices of David N. Jolly. David sprang into action, meeting us prior to the court hearing and providing us with exceptional guidance. David represented our daughter with empathy and compassion; the charge was ultimately reduced to a reckless driving violation. I would highly recommend David Jolly - he was profession in the courtroom and navigated our daughters charge with expertise.

The right stuff!
David exemplifies how a good attorney should handle a case of law. I found him to be attentive, knowledgeable, compassionate and a good listener. I give him my highest recommendation to anyone considering an attorney. (Also a high five to Janean, his assistant)
Response from David Jolly July 22, 2022
I am sorry for the delayed response - BUT, I can tell you that your very nice review and kind words are appreciated more than I can tell you. Thank you and hope you're doing well.

Best DUI Attorney Around
I gave David 0 help with this case. As in the police report was damning and stacked against us. David kept a cool head on his shoulder and in plain English dealt out the options for me. With my record plus this new charge, David was able to make a smooth transition to a positive outcome. Even getting less time with some of the state punishments than we thought possible. I needed an attorney that could help me let the judge see I was taking this charge extremely seriously. David is a great attorney and extremely affordable for the package you get. Thanks again David.

Very satisfied client
I was involved in a situation involving my wife that ended with me being arrested and charge with assault 4 with a domestic. I found lawyer on the internet and contacted them. Now mind you this was during the start of covid. After listening to David and hearing my options I retained this lawyer. We talked a few time while he was working on my case with the prosecutors. I'm very please with the outcome of my case I know this office did everything they could to get my case settled. I hghly recommend the law office of David Jolly

You’re hired !
A heartfelt thank you to David Jolly who I hired for a DUI violation that was reduced to reckless . This was a complex & difficult case during a time when I was at my lowest . Not only was he professional, he determined my case needed to be handled with compassion. He truly cared about me & through it all never wavered in his goal. Extra time & frustration didn’t stop him. He told me not to give up. We would do this together. I’ve never had the need for an attorney but I can assure you , his knowledge & caring manner wont let you down should you hire him.

This Team is TOP NOTCH
I met David Jolly after my 1st court appearance and he was very approachable and listened to me about my case. This was new to me but he does this everyday and he showed that I wasn't just another dollar. I appreciate the hard work and many phone calls David and his team took from me about my case and the crazy Washington laws. David and his team worked diligently on my behalf continuously fighting for a resolution that was acceptable to everyone. David told me the best case scenarios ad worst case scenarios. He was very compassionate but also up front and never sugar coated anything, which is great when dealing in situations like this. David and his team followed up with me when they said they would and even reached out when there was no need to talk case, just wanted to make sure I was taking care of everything I needed to.

Rockstar at Law
David was thorough and clearly explained the process during our free consultation, regarding a DUI Marijuana charge against my minor daughter. We didn't have a referal, so we found him based on online ratings. We picked him due to his high ratings and the fact that he has offices in Bellingham and Mount Vernon. Our case was out of Whatcom county, but we live closer to Mount Vernon, so it was much more convenient being able to meet with him there. We called around to compare fees and his costs are in line with other local attorneys. We hired him just a few weeks before the initial court hearing, so the police report and blood results were only provided a day or two before the hearing...not enough time to consult again before the hearing. We expected to plead "not guilty" and request a continuance to review the reports. However, after looking over the reports, David went out of his way to take action before our hearing, meeting with the prosecuting attorneys. We met David at the court, thirty minutes before the hearing. He gave us a brief on his thoughts on the blood results and the police report. We walked into the court room with David. He took care to explain every step of the process, explaining where to sit and what would happen next. When the judge came into the court room, he immediately asked David if he had any motions to bring forward. My daughter went to the front with David and sat before the judge. The prosecuting attorney then said "we wish to move to dismiss all charges with prejudice." The judge said "well, I guess you won't have any objections to that". And just like that, the case was over...dismissed, never to be filed again. After the hearing, we spoke with David again. He had been 99% sure that the prosecution would drop the charges, but hadn't told us in advance because he wasn't completely sure. He explained how he had gone over the case with the prosecution and convinced them that they couldn't win. The blood test was negative and the roadside test had been done on snow... David said "I wrote a book on DUI. They have a copy." The guy is a Rockstar. My daughter was fortunate that the DUI case was weak, but David went the extra mile to get it nipped in the bud quickly, rather than drawing it out over several hearings. David even refunded a part of his fee because it was wrapped up so quickly. He did not have to do that. He did it because he felt it was the right thing to do. If you need a lawyer for DUI, hire this man. He is not only an incredibly attorney, but also honest and clearly well known and respected by others involved in these cases in Skagit and Whatcom counties, from the judges to the prosecuting attorneys. You can be sure that David will do everything he can to get you the best result possible. Of course we hope to never need his services again, but I keep his card in my wallet and feel comforted to know he'll be on my side if I should ever need him. Also, his legal assistant, Janean is wonderful. Both Janean and David respond to emails and calls very quickly and thoroughly. Couldn't be happier with their service and of course, the incredible results! Thank you David and Janean!!!

Michael - wow! Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and positive review. The result in your daughter's case was the right result and credit to the prosecutor, they saw that too and acted quickly. Dragging out a case only brings stress and worry. It was such a pleasure working with you and your daughter (even thought it was ultimately rather brief!) - you're a wonderful father and she is a lucky daughter. Take care and if there is anything further we can do, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

Excellent attorney
David Jolly really knows his stuff when it comes to DUi's. The case looked pretty grim with both the City prosecutor and with the Dept. of Licensing. David was able to find specific actions by the arresting officer which allowed for settlement down to a much lower charge- negligent driving and no license suspension. We are very grateful for his expertise.

Promises Delivered
David and his staff represented me in Skagit County. It's funny I say he delivered on his promises because he told me it would be a tough case. He never promised me a reduction but what he did say is that he and his experienced staff would fight really hard and do everything they could to help. And they did. My DUI was reduced to Neg. 1 and they won my license hearing. Yes he's nice but he his tough and respected (watch how the Judges talk to him) and knows more than all the others. Thank you!

DUI Case
Both David Jolly, and his team were very helpful and informative in my DUI case. They were quick to respond with any questions I had regarding the case. The lawyer fee wasn’t too costly, and he was very reliable and understanding through the entire court process. If you need a good lawyer, I’d definitely recommend hiring him.

Result better than ever expected
I had an unfortunate situation with my second DUI in two years. David has my first one reduced. I was so scared that I would be facing a very long time in jail on my second DUI. I called the Jolly law office and spoke to Janean, who was so nice and understanding. Six months later my case ended with another reduction. I guess there was a huge error made by the officer that David found. I did have to do some days on an ankle bracelet but no DUI and no jail. If you in trouble I can honestly tell you that you must call this office. Thank you David, Janean and all the staff.

Best Law Firm and Great Result
I got a DUI several months ago. My case was in Bellingham and after my first court date I called the Jolly Law Firm. I met with David and was impressed with him and his assistant. I ended up meeting with two other lawyers but quickly called back David and hired him. He had my DUI reduced to a much less serious offense and no probation and no jail. I cannot say enough about the whole fire. I am really thankful. HIRE HIM!

Case Dismissed!!
Thank you to the Team at David Jolly Law Firm. I had never been in trouble so it was really scary. David returned my call on a Sunday and met me on Monday morning. He quoted me the lowest retainer and a payment plan and was the only lawyer to give me helpful guides. His staff was great too. 6 months later the State dismissed my case. Me and my whole family can not recommend him enough as we are also so happy this case is over and there is no conviction. Thank you thank you so much.
