DUI Penalties
DUI penalties will vary depending on the specific circumstances surrounding your case. First-time offenders may be given probation, sentenced to jail and ordered to pay fines. Other consequences can include community work service,
vehicle impoundment, mandatory installation of a
vehicle interlock device and a
suspended drivers license. You may also be required to participate in a drug or alcohol treatment program. If your
DUI involved an accident resulting in injuries, or your license was not valid at the time of the incident, or you had a child under the age of 15 in the vehicle, you could be facing felony charges, followed by much harsher penalties, if convicted.
A Paradise Valley DUI attorney can provide an aggressive and well prepared defense against any type of
DUI, including more serious and complex felony DUI's. Qualified legal representation can have a significant impact on your case, especially when it comes to challenging the results of
field sobriety tests and
breath & blood tests. In addition to his law degree, Mr. Buckallew also holds a Master's in Forensic Science (M.F.S.) degree, giving him a unique perspective and understanding of the complexities inherent in
DUI cases. Having an attorney well versed in both criminal litigation as well as forensic science is critical given the growing importance of forensic science in criminal and
DUI litigation. Whether it is a simple misdemeanor
DUI or a more serious and complex
DUI case, forensic science will likely play a significant role in your case. Having an attorney who understands the science behind the evidence, including the potential weaknesses of the scientific evidence can help ensure that you are properly represented and defended in court.

underage DUI,
