If you have been charged with DUI in Snohomish County and are considering appearing without an attorney at your arraignment hearing (first appearance in court), here is what you should do.
1. Dress appropriately;
2. Get to court early;
3. Read and then sign the Advise of Rights/Penalties form;
4. Be polite and courteous to the Judge;
5. Do not talk about the facts of your case to anyone (most definitely the prosecutor and judge);
6. Plead Not Guilty;
7. Get an attorney retained as soon as you can!!
Finally, I do not advise that you appear at the arraignment by yourself, but if you do follow the tips above. It is always best to get an attorney hired prior to appearing in court.
