Can you go to prison for a crime you didn't actually do? 😳👇
Think you're safe just because you stayed home? Think again. 🛑
Washington State criminal defense lawyer Derek Conom (serving Snohomish County & the greater Seattle/King County area) breaks down the terrifying reality of criminal conspiracy laws—and how you can face the exact same harsh penalties as a primary offender.
How does this happen under Washington State law? ⚖️
• Accomplice Liability: Planners, lookouts, and getaway drivers face the exact same charges as the person holding the weapon.
• Agreement & Intent: All the law requires is an agreement to commit a crime and the intent for it to happen.
• The "Substantial Step": The crime doesn't even have to be completed. If just one person buys a ski mask, everyone in the plan can be charged.
Choose your friends wisely! 👥

Think you can keep driving if the police don't have a good reason to pull you over?

The Quick Breakdown:
• You Must Stop: Even if the police are wrong, you are legally required to pull over immediately.
• Felony Eluding: Reckless driving while failing to stop can lead to 5 years in prison.

Think your CPL protects you from everything? Think again. ⚖️🛡️
In this video, Derek Conom of the Conom Law Firm breaks down a critical legal trap for gun owners in Washington State. Even if you are a law-abiding citizen with a valid concealed pistol license, the way you carry your firearm could lead to serious criminal charges. If you live in Snohomish County, Seattle, or the King County area, understanding the "Intimidation Rule" is essential to protecting your freedom and your rights.
Could your legal firearm land you in jail for a year?
• Intimidation vs. Legal Carry: It is a crime in Washington to carry a firearm in a manner that warrants alarm for the safety of others or is intended to intimidate.
• Permit Limits: A valid concealed pistol license is not a defense against charges of unlawful display or intimidation.
• Serious Consequences: A conviction can result in up to 364 days in jail and the permanent loss of your pistol license.

Do You Need a License to Carry at Home or Work in WA? 🏠💼
Are you clear on the firearm carry laws in Washington State? Derek Conom, criminal defense lawyer at Conom Law Firm, explains a vital legal exception for handgun owners in the Greater Seattle and Snohomish County areas. Whether you are at your "abode" or your "fixed" place of business, the requirements for a Concealed Pistol License (CPL) change significantly. If you live or work in King County, staying informed on these local statutes is your best defense against accidental legal trouble.
What does the law actually define as a "fixed" place of business?
• Home Possession: Understanding why your private residence is exempt from CPL requirements.
• Business Guidelines: The legal distinction between a fixed office and a mobile business for handgun carry.
• Employment Rights: Why you might be legally protected from a citation but still risk your job status.

In this video, Derek Conom of Conom Law Firm breaks down a critical statute that affects anyone traveling through Snohomish County, Seattle, or the Greater King County area.

The "Drive-By" Legal Myth: Why you don’t even need a car to be charged in Washington.

Most people think a "drive-by shooting" requires a speeding car and a getaway driver. In Washington State, that is a dangerous misunderstanding of the law.

Criminal defense lawyer Derek Conom explains why this Class B felony is much easier to be charged with than you might think. Whether you are in Seattle, King County, or Snohomish County, understanding these specific legal definitions is critical to your defense.

Does a drive-by shooting require a moving vehicle?
• Broad Definitions: In Washington, you can be charged if you were simply near a vehicle that transported the person or the weapon to the scene.
• The "Hours Later" Rule: Even if the car arrived hours before the incident, it can still be classified as a drive-by.
• No Vehicle Escape Needed: Arriving by car but fleeing the scene on foot does not protect you from this specific felony charge.

If you are facing charges or have been arrested in the greater Seattle area or Snohomish County, the Conom Law Firm is here to fight for you. Contact us today for professional legal counsel and a dedicated defense. 📍 Serving Seattle, King County, and Snohomish County.

Is Urinating in Public a S*x Offense? Washington State Laws Explained ⚖️

If you're in Washington State, you might be surprised at how much the laws change just by crossing a county line. In this video, Criminal Defense Lawyer Derek Conom of Conom Law Firm breaks down the legal consequences of urinating in public and addresses a common fear: Does it lead to s*x offender registration? From Seattle civil infractions to Snohomish County jail time, Derek clarifies what you need to know about Washington State's varying local laws.

Could a simple mistake in public lead to a lifetime on a s*x offender registry?
• Local Variations: Every city and county in Washington has its own rules. In Seattle, it’s a civil infraction ($500 fine), but in Snohomish County, a first offense is a misdemeanor.
• The "Indecent Exposure" Risk: If the act is deemed intentional and likely to cause "reasonable alarm," it can be charged as indecent exposure, carrying up to 364 days in jail.
• Registration Requirements: While repeat indecent exposure can lead to prison time, Derek explains why Washington law currently does not require s*x offender registration for these specific cases.

Prostitution Laws are Changing in Washington: What You Need to Know

The legal landscape surrounding the s*x trade in Washington State has seen a massive shift over the last 25 years. In this video, Criminal Defense Lawyer Derek Conom explains how the law is moving away from charging individuals offering services and is instead cracking down on the "demand" side of the industry. Whether it’s a misdemeanor or a 10-year felony, the consequences in Washington are serious.

How does Washington State classify these crimes?
• Prostitution: Historically a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail, though the courts are increasingly treating these individuals as victims.
• Patronizing a Pr******te: Since 1988, simply requesting s*xual conduct for money is enough for a customer to be charged with a misdemeanor.
• Promoting Prostitution: A high-level felony for those trafficking or profiting from others, carrying a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.

Staying Home vs. Staying in Jail: What You Need to Know About EHM in Washington ⚖️🏠
In Washington State, the law is clear: you are presumed innocent. But when a judge is deciding whether to keep you in custody or let you go home while your case is pending, the decision isn't always easy.
Criminal defense lawyer Derek Conom breaks down how Electronic Home Monitoring (EHM)—specifically GPS tracking—has become the "middle road" for courts in Seattle, King County, and Snohomish County.
While this technology is a powerful tool to keep our clients out of jail, there is a growing concern: Are the courts over-using it?
In this video, Derek discusses:
• How GPS data has changed the game for pre-trial release.
• The "Middle Road" – Why judges prefer freedom with oversight over incarceration.
• The Danger of Over-Monitoring – Why some people are being placed on EHM unnecessarily.
