Here at the Barber Law Group, PLLC, I get many people asking why it is worth it to hire a DUI attorney. Here are the reasons why it is worth considering hiring an attorney:
1) An arrest for DUI does not mean you are guilty of DUI.
So often people forget the old saying "innocent until proven guilty." The truth is that just because someone is arrested for a DUI, regardless of what the blood alcohol level is, does not mean that the prosecutor can prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Having a DUI attorney will allow you to make the best decision as to whether you should go to trial or try and negotiate a guilty plea to a lesser charge, perhaps even reckless driving.
2) DUI cases can be dismissed.
Most DUI cases that are "won" are actually thrown out, never going to trial. This is because a good DUI lawyer will look at the reasons as to why you were stopped. Challenging the constitutionality of the traffic stop, unrelated to the DUI, is what it comes down to. You have Fourth Amendment rights, and that means the police had to have a legitimate reason to pull you over in the first place.
3) Get a real look at the evidence.
DUI cases are some of the most fact intensive cases that exist. I use the entire Barber Law Group to be the best DUI attorney I can be by gathering all of the facts and then reviewing them with a fine tooth comb. Without interviewing the officers involved, looking closely at the police report, talking extensively with the client and anyone else that was in the car, good advice cannot be given as to what a client should do.
A DUI carries serious penalties in Arizona. As your Phoenix DUI attorney I understand that and take every case seriously and communicate closely with my clients. Additionally, any DUI case carries a separate MVD (DMV) process that can be just as confusing as the criminal case. I take on both the MVD hearing and the license suspension as well as the criminal case for every client.
