Jonathan D. Rands Celebrates 13 Years of Legal Experience

    BELLINGHAM, WA, May 05, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Jonathan D. Rands, Attorney At Law, has been recognized for showing dedication, leadership and excellence in DUI defense.

Mr. Rands has 13 years of professional experience, with five as an attorney of his eponymous law firm. His areas of expertise include DUI defense and almost any other alcohol-related crime. On a daily basis, he represents citizens that have and are accused of Driving Under the Influence (by way of any drug or alcohol) and other alcohol-related crimes, such as Minor Operating After Consuming Alcohol (Minor DUI), minor in possession of alcohol, Felony DUI by way of priors, or Felony DUI via Vehicular Assault, and the most difficult case of all for all involved: Vehicular Homicide.

Mr. Rands began his career as a public defender and then went on to private practice. Initially, upon entering private practice, Jonathan worked as the firm's associate attorney dedicated exclusively to the firm's DUI defense, and after working successfully was provided the opportunity to open and manage a satellite office for a Seattle-based firm that worked exclusively on DUI defense. He operated the office with tremendous results for his clients until he established his own private solo practice.

Jonathan became involved in his profession because he wanted to become a lawyer since he was 6 years old. As he grew older, his desire to become a lawyer grew as he learned more. At one point in his youth, Jonathan drove past the gates of Harvard Law School with his father and that's when his dream to be a lawyer became entrenched and his path to realizing this dream solidified as he actively pursued it.

Mr. Rands received his JD from the Seattle University School of Law in 2002 and prior to this his Bachelor of Arts in criminology from Simon Fraser University in 1997.

He is qualified to administer roadside sobriety tests by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and he is A.R.I.D.E Qualified also by NHTSA. These are just a few of his specialized qualifications supplementing his degrees, and he has additional qualifications in forensic chromatography: theory and practice.

Jonathan Rands was recently inducted into Worldwide Registry and also maintains affiliation with the Washington Foundation for Criminal Justice, the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (WACDL), and their DUI ListServe, served on the WACDL Board of Governors of District 2 for 9 years, and is a general member of National College of DUI Defense, and a founding member of the national organization DUI Defense Lawyers Association (DUIDLA) established in June 2014. He is also a member of the Whatcom County and Skagit County Bar Association, and the Washington State Bar Association. Over the last 10 years, Mr. Rands has been repeatedly recognized as a Rising Star-Super Lawyer by Law & Politics Magazine.

In the coming years, he would like to do more teaching and mentoring of young lawyers, continue to learn and become more knowledgeable about science and technology, pursue continuing education and have a more focused practice dedicated to exposing the flaws of blood and breath testing.
