Phoenix DUI Defense Lawyer
Arrested for DUI? Wondering what will happen next or if there is even a small chance that you will be able to avoid a conviction?

We are experienced in addressing all issues related to challenging DUI charges in Phoenix and throughout the surrounding areas and are ready to see how we can help you.
There are different approaches that we may take in challenging charges related to drunk driving. The strategy will vary depending on the nature of the charges, the manner in which evidence was collected and various other factors, as revealed by completing a thorough investigation into every angle of the case. The goal will be to find weaknesses in the prosecution's case against a client and then expose these to turn the case in our client's favor. This may be accomplished before the case goes to trial by negotiating for lesser charges or dropped charges entirely or may be accomplished during the criminal court trial to secure a "not guilty" verdict. Following are some of the areas your attorney may look at while building your defense:
- Were you lawfully arrested?
- Did the officer have a valid reason for pulling you over in the first place?
- Was your breath test administered using a device that was properly calibrated?
- Was your blood sample properly handled and mixed to avoid contamination?
- Was your breath test administered in accordance with state standards?
- Were field sobriety tests administered properly?
- Can poor performance on field sobriety tests be attributed to a non-alcohol related issue (high-heeled shoes, physical injury, tiredness, nervousness, etc.)?
These are just a few examples of how we may challenge your charges. Find out more about how we can handle your case by contacting a Phoenix DUI Attorney at our firm today. |
