Phoenix DUI Defense Lawyer

The following are a few of the many reasons you should strongly consider hiring an attorney to help you with your DUI charges:

  • If your case does not go as you planned, you could lose your license, have your car insurance cancelled, and possibly go to jail.
  • A conviction could have serious consequences on the rest of your life, including eliminating potential employment possibilities.
  • An attorney understands the possible legal challenges to your arrest that can be made. These challenges can strengthen your case and possibly reduce any potential fines and/or punishments that you might receive.
  • The prosecutors deal with DUI offenses on a regular basis and will utilize all of their resources to make sure you are convicted. An experienced lawyer, particularly one who is a former prosecutor, is able to counter their strategies in trying to secure you the best possible outcome.
  • An experienced DUI defense lawyer understands the medical and technical procedures involved with drunk driving arrests. They can make sure that the testing equipment is properly certified and that all of the correct legal procedures were used during the course of your arrest.

While hiring an attorney will not always insure you a better outcome, it should insure you the best outcome possible. You will never know whether hiring an attorney will help you or not unless you ask. I give prospective clients honest evaluations and have often told people that it is likely that I cannot make a significant difference in the outcome, but until I am hired and conduct a full investigation I cannot know for sure. Some of those clients have hired anyway and we were able to obtain results that were significantly better. Please call for a free, no-pressure evaluation of your case.

I am there for you.

If you have been arrested for DUI, it is important to contact my office immediately at 602.253.6889. I can protect your legal rights. I offer a free initial consultation, accept all major credit cards, and have a 24 hour answering service, so that I may be reached at all times.
