Our results also extend past the courtroom. Alex Uskoski is a frequent lecturer at DUI conferences throughout the state and has co-authored “Defending DUIs in Washington (Third Edition),” which is a textbook published by Lexis Nexis and utilized statewide by defense attorneys looking to hone their skills in DUI defense. In 2025, Alex was presented with the “Anthony Savage Award” by the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, which recognizes exceptional trial performance or results by a criminal defense attorney in their first ten years of practice. Alex, Andrew, Ashwin, and their staff are consistently regarded as one of the most prominent DUI defense teams in Washington.
In addition to DUI defense, our lawyers also devote their practice specifically to defending driving-related criminal offenses in Southwest Washington courts (including Clark County, Vancouver, Camas, and Washougal). Alex, Ashwin, and Andrew have defended hundreds of driving-related criminal charges, including Reckless Driving, Hit & Run, Negligent Driving, Ignition Interlock Violation, Driving While Suspended, Minor DUI, and many others. These can be complex matters that often share many of the same ramifications as a DUI, including driver’s license suspensions, high-risk SR-22 insurance, and employment restrictions (especially for those who drive vehicles for work). It is essential to have an attorney who understands these unique nuances and collateral effects to ensure you can present the best possible defense to avoid these long-lasting consequences. In today’s complicated legal environment, it is not enough to have an attorney who only has a general understanding of the criminal process. You need an experienced lawyer who has a comprehensive understanding of the specific crime you have been charged with in your specific jurisdiction. If your offense involves the operation of a vehicle in Clark County, that is where we can provide the specific and detailed advice you need.
Finally, it is important to note that our lawyers collaborate on all DUI and criminal cases together and are supported by a full paralegal staff. When you hire us for your case, you don’t just get an attorney, you get a full legal team. We also strive to make our services financially accessible to everyone. We offer free consultations and flexible, flat-rate payment options on all criminal matters. We also offer discounted rates for clients seeking to pay their fee in full. Unlike some firms, we will not hide the ball on billing by adding trial fees or other hidden expenses on criminal cases. We pride ourselves on transparency to ensure you know exactly how much our representation will cost at the outset.
