Do I need a lawyer for a first DUI in Arizona?

A DUI lawyer can review the traffic stop, investigation, field sobriety testing, blood or breath evidence and other circumstances for potential defense issues.
Can an Arizona DUI charge be challenged?
Yes. A DUI charge is an accusation, not an automatic conviction. Depending on the facts, possible defense issues may involve the traffic stop, probable cause, chemical testing, field sobriety testing, officer observations, scientific evidence or constitutional concerns.
What is an Extreme DUI or Super Extreme DUI in Arizona?
Arizona recognizes enhanced DUI classifications involving elevated alcohol concentrations. These cases can involve increased consequences, making careful review of blood testing, breath testing and other scientific evidence particularly important.
Can prescription medication or drugs result in a DUI charge?
Drug DUI allegations can involve prescription medication, marijuana or other substances. The circumstances, evidence of impairment and toxicology results can all become important when evaluating an Arizona Drug DUI case.
