Why Hire a Phoenix DUI Lawyer

Hiring a criminal defense attorney after an arrest for drunk driving can improve your chances of successfully handling these allegations.

A lawyer can take charge of all aspects of your defense after an arrest by focusing on:

Protecting Your Rights

You have rights that police officers and the prosecution have to respect during and after an arrest. We stand with you during all legal questioning and monitor the actions of the police as they investigate the charges to make sure they treat you fairly. 

Answering Your Questions

We understand that you may have many questions after a DUI arrest. We’ll take the time to carefully listen to your concerns and then provide clear, straightforward answers. We help you make informed decisions throughout every stage of the legal process. 

Building Your Legal Defense

We focus on building a personalized defense against the charges the police have brought against you.

We may work to show that:

• Police officers stopped you without reasonable cause
• The police failed to explain your rights
• The police improperly performed blood alcohol content (BAC) testing

Ways That We Resolve Drunk Driving Accusations

A DUI attorney in Phoenix can use multiple strategies to resolve these allegations.

In many cases, we can focus on:

Reducing Your Charges Through Plea Bargaining

We know how to handle the plea bargaining process with the prosecution. This process can allow us to reduce serious criminal charges to less severe offenses. Taking a plea bargain can reduce the severity of the penalties you face, but it does require you to admit to another criminal act. 

Having the Judge Drop Your DUI Charges

In some cases, we can convince a judge to drop charges for drunk driving. A judge may decide to drop your charges if we can block evidence from the prosecution to weaken their case or if we can show that someone in law enforcement violated your rights.

You will not face legal penalties if the court dismisses the allegations against you.

Fighting DUI Charges in Court

Our team also knows how to fight drunk driving accusations in the courtroom. We have the training and experience to confidently handle litigation on your behalf. You can learn more by contacting us now to discuss your legal options and situation. 

We Take DUI Charges Seriously 

Our team understands the severe repercussions of a DUI conviction.

Depending on your situation, a conviction for drunk driving could result in:

• Fines 
• Incarceration
• Community service
• Restrictions on your license
• Orders to attend alcohol treatment programs

Additionally, a DUI conviction can raise your insurance and lead to the loss of professional licenses. We work hard to build your defense quickly, and we’ll stand by you every step of the way after an arrest to protect your future. 

Are DUIs Misdemeanors or Felonies in Phoenix?

Arizona treats most DUIs as misdemeanor–level offenses. However, you can face more serious felony charges in some situations.

You could face felony accusations if the police claim that you operated a vehicle under the influence while:

• You had a suspended driver’s license
• You are charged with a third DUI offense within a seven-year period
• You had a passenger under 15 in the vehicle
• You were driving on the wrong side of the highway
• You had orders to use an ignition interlock device (IID), but did not have one in the vehicle

Both misdemeanor and felony allegations can have serious consequences, so we take all DUI charges seriously. We can discuss the specific charges you face and the strategies we can use to build your defense when you reach out to us for assistance. 

You do not have to try to face drunk driving accusations on your own.
