RAKSHA V
Quick Response and Professionalism
I retained Kimberly McAvoy after I used an attorney referral service in Washington State. I live out of state but had legal problems when I lived in Washington almost 40 years ago. My case was not difficult but only had two other attorneys reach out to me after about a week. Kimberly contacted me within one day, and although she was slightly more expensive, I was impressed with her quick response and professionalism. She was very patient and fully explained the process so it was easy to understand. Throughout the entire process, I was kept updated regularly, and the outcome was exactly as she predicted. I'm happy to recommend Kimberly McAvoy Law to anyone requiring quality legal representation. Thank you, signed Michael Noud.
Mike Noud
Very professional and caring
The law attorney Kimberly McAvoy helped me with divorce back in 2017. Very professional who genuinely cares about her customers. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone going through a complicated emotional divorce.
Ekaterina Sukhanova
Saved me $1500!
Attorney Kimberly took the time to look up my case & call me with great news when she didn't have to. It's obvious she takes her role as an attorney with the knowledge & experience many of us don't have but very much need, seriously. She does her due diligence to help those in a tough spot vs. using the tough spot as a tool of leverage before lifting a finger. I spoke to 2 other law firms before I spoke to Kimberly & both hadn't cared enough to do more than dial my number, Kimberly dialed my number with all my case information already in front of her & saved me $1500! If I ever need an attorney in Washington state again (and I hope I don't), you can bet Kimberly at McAvoy Law will be the first call I make.
Shelby Cullen
Stellar Solution to Court Quagmire
We rightfully rate admirable attorney Kimberly McAvoy with cinco sparking stars for her stellar solution to our unfortunate encounter with SeaTac’s municipal court stemming from airport unruliness. Our admiration and appreciation began with establishing a personable, professional relationship with her while communicating remotely via Skype calls as we were adjudicating our case from afar in Costa Rica. Then, through her persistent prosecutor persuasion, she orchestrated a simple solution out of court (SOC) that ultimately dismisses all charges and eradicates any criminal record. For her pleasurable personality superbly solving our court calamity, Kimberly McAvoy, attorney-at-law, warrants our highest recommendation for anyone caught in a crazy court-quagmire requiring a learned legal safety net to finagle you out of trouble. PURA VIDA – Tim & Sandra Logan

Kim was amazing and professional
I highly recommend McAvoy Law. Kimberly McAvoy was amazing and went above and beyond what I would’ve ever expected. I can’t thank her enough! Not only was she extremely professional, got back to me right away, and it was obvious she knew exactly what she was talking about with everything we discussed, but she also came across very honest, friendly, and most of all extremely intelligent. I would highly recommend using this law firm. Thanks again Kimberly, you’re the best!

Kim is a true professional attorney
Kim is the true manifestation of exactly the professional attorney to have on your side in a legal matter. Her composure, knowledge of the law, court process, and how to best represent her client should be what is represented in what is shown in Television/Film. She clearly is a role model in her field. If you are in need of an outstanding lawyer for representation—Kim is the one I would recommend.

Chris Ybarra
Kimberly McAvoy is fantastic
Kimberly McAvoy is fantastic. She helped me through what should have been an easy case with a suspended license, but it got a little hairy dealing with California state DMV, as that is where my license was revoked due to medical and also smack in the middle of COVID pandemic. Kimberly was by my side the whole time, meeting up (online, like Skype) with me at least once a month and several emails back and forth, keeping clear and open communication with me at all times. She really was a great support and a powerhouse to get things done that I couldn't do personally. May I never need another lawyer, but if I do, she would be my first call. Thank you again so much, Kimberly! You're the best!

Refusing a breathalyzer test can have legal consequences, such as an automatic license suspension and increased penalties. Most states have implied consent laws, meaning that by driving, you've agreed to such tests. Consulting with an attorney can help you understand your rights and the implications of refusal.
What are the penalties for a first offense DUI?
Penalties for a first offense DUI can include fines, license suspension, mandatory DUI education programs, community service, and possibly jail time. The exact penalties depend on state laws, the blood alcohol content level, and any aggravating factors during the offense.
Do I need a lawyer for a first offense DUI?
