Driving Under the Influence (DUI)

AZ: 480-648-3555

State specific DUI information:  Arizona or California.

If you've been charged with driving under the influence (DUI), it's essential to understand the legal implications and potential consequences of this offense. DUI charges can result in fines, license suspension, and even jail time, so it's crucial to have a criminal defense attorney on your side to protect your rights and defend your case. 

A DUI charge typically results from a police officer's observation of erratic driving behavior or suspicion of impaired driving. This suspicion can arise from various factors, including slurred speech, the smell of alcohol on the driver's breath, or poor performance on field sobriety tests.

In order to prove a DUI charge, the prosecution must demonstrate that the driver was impaired by drugs or alcohol while operating a motor vehicle. This is typically done through evidence such as breathalyzer or blood tests, which measure the driver's blood alcohol concentration (BAC).

If you are facing a DUI charge, it's important to work with a criminal defense attorney who has experience in this area of the law. An experienced DUI attorney can review the evidence against you and identify potential defenses to the charges.

One common defense to a DUI charge is to challenge the accuracy of the BAC testing equipment or the administration of the test. A skilled DUI attorney may also challenge the legality of the traffic stop or arrest, or argue that the officer did not have probable cause to make the arrest.

Another potential defense is to argue that the driver was not impaired at the time of the arrest. For example, a medical condition or certain medications may have caused the driver to exhibit signs of impairment, even if they were not actually under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

If you are facing a DUI charge, it's important to take the charges seriously and seek legal representation as soon as possible. An experienced criminal defense attorney can review your case and work to mitigate the potential consequences of a conviction. With the right defense strategy, it may be possible to have the charges reduced or dismissed altogether.
