Fighting DUI Charges in Tempe

A person found guilty of driving under the influence will face DUI penalties such as probation, jail time, fines, restitution, court-ordered counseling, vehicle impoundment, mandatory installation of a vehicle interlock device, and suspended drivers license. Cases involving a blood alcohol concentration significantly greater than 0.08%, an accident that resulted in injuries, or a prior DUI criminal record typically result in more harsh sentencing. Whether this is your first DUI offense, or you have a prior DUI history, fighting the charges against you is critical given the serious consequences that will result from a DUI conviction. An experienced Tempe DUI lawyer will conduct a comprehensive investigation of your case, identify legal, procedural and factual weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, launch an aggressive defense on your behalf, and depending upon the deficiencies identified in the case, your attorney may be able to achieve a reduction in charges or full dismissal of the case. These weaknesses can include illegal police procedures, such as an unlawful stop, failure to administer a Miranda Warning, or improperly administered DUI tests. Contact an attorney for an evaluation of your case and to better understand you legal options.
