Why Cowan Kirk
A DUI charge in Washington can cost you your license, your job, and thousands of dollars — and it stays on your record. The outcome depends almost entirely on the quality of your defense attorney. Cowan Kirk has been doing this since 1969. They don't dabble in DUI defense alongside other work. They are DUI defense. Their attorneys authored the leading textbook on defending these cases in Washington, which means they understand the science of breathalyzer machines, field sobriety tests, and police procedure at a level most lawyers simply don't reach. If you're charged with a DUI in the Puget Sound area, this is the most specialized firm available.

Client Reviews
"I was pulled over on 520 and charged with DUI. Cowan Kirk challenged the breath test administration and the stop itself. My charge was reduced to negligent driving. Without them, I'd have a DUI on my record."
"I needed my license for work — losing it wasn't an option. The team at Cowan Kirk handled the DOL hearing and the criminal case simultaneously. I kept my license and the criminal charge was dismissed."
"This was my second DUI and I was terrified about jail time. Cowan Kirk knew exactly what arguments to make, what evidence to challenge, and how to present the case. The outcome was far better than I expected."
