“I worked with Rob Ault. I was in a tough spot and he was very empathetic. I’d give him more stars if I could.”
Bellevue DUI Attorney Veitch Ault Defense
When a DUI or criminal charge threatens your license, record, and reputation, you need counsel who prepares like trial is inevitable — and negotiates from that strength. Robert J. Ault brings prosecutorial insight and clear next steps from the first call.
Veitch Ault Defense focuses on Bellevue, Lynnwood, and King County DUI and criminal defense. Clients get direct counsel access — not a rotating intake queue — and a strategy built around the file in front of them.
From breath and blood evidence to DOL hearings and courtroom trial work, the firm treats every case with the seriousness the stakes demand.
Winning is in the preparation
Early plea pressure rarely reflects the long-term cost of a conviction. Trial-ready investigation and motion practice raise the cost of a weak case — and open room for better outcomes.
“I’ve always believed that whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. It’s with that passion for the law and commitment to excellence that I’ve built my career by defending my clients’ rights while also providing trusted guidance and reassurance when they need it most. I take pride in the confidence you place in me and my responsibility to serve as your advocate.”

03 About us — what does “exceptional defense” mean in practice?
Dedicated to exceptional DUI, DWI, & criminal defense.
When you hire Veitch Ault Defense, you deal one-on-one with your own lawyer rather than getting passed on to a Junior Attorney. In addition to reaching the resolution most favorable for our clients, we feel responsible for our clients’ peace of mind along the way as well. Every one of our clients is given their attorney’s personal cell number and is told to call, text, or e-mail any time they have questions. If your lawyer can’t get back to you right away for any reason, you will hear back within 24 hours, if not sooner.
04 How do NHTSA FST & ARIDE credentials help your defense?
Our attorneys are certified in administering the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Field Sobriety Tests (FST). They have been trained in the process and scoring of the physical tests you may have had to perform. Unless these physical tasks—which are designed for failure—are administered properly, their validity is “compromised.” Thus, the smallest details regarding these tests can be of utmost importance. Additionally, our attorneys have successfully completed the NHTSA ARIDE (Advanced Roadside Impairment Detection Enforcement) course. While some Washington State law enforcement officers have received this training, only a limited number of DUI defense attorneys in the State have successfully completed the training. Contact us now so we can start investigating your case right away.
