Services
DUI Defense
Our DUI defense service focuses on challenging charges through evidence analysis and procedural violations. We specialize in Arizona's strict DUI laws, working to reduce penalties or secure dismissals. Clients benefit from our attorney's courtroom experience and deep understanding of blood alcohol testing challenges.
Aggravated DUI
Aggravated DUI defense requires specialized expertise due to mandatory minimum sentences. We challenge enhanced penalties by examining license status issues, prior conviction timelines, and ignition interlock requirements. Our approach targets weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence to avoid prison time and permanent felony records.
Criminal Speeding
We defend against criminal speeding charges exceeding 35 mph in school zones or 85 mph statewide. Our strategy focuses on avoiding jail time through defensive driving school petitions and challenging speed measurement accuracy. We protect clients from license suspension and insurance rate increases through court negotiations.
Drug Possession
Our defense against drug possession charges examines search and seizure violations while challenging substance classification evidence. We leverage Arizona's Proposition 200 to secure probation alternatives for first-time offenders, focusing on keeping criminal records clean and maintaining professional licenses.
Domestic Violence
We defend against domestic violence charges by challenging witness credibility and disproving relationship requirements. Our approach targets overcharging patterns in misdemeanor cases while preventing felony enhancements through evidence suppression and strategic plea negotiations to avoid lifetime allegations.
