Understanding Charges of Drunk Driving

When facing DUI charges, it can be very embarrassing and humiliating, but the stress of the arrest and dealing with law enforcement are nothing compared to what you will face when dealing with the charge itself. Scottsdale law enforcement is dedicated to getting all drunk drivers off the streets; the prosecutor is intent upon your conviction. The judge could be any one of a variety of judges, all with different viewpoints about such charges. 

If you have been charged with DUI, it is crucial that you contact a Scottsdale DUI attorney at once after your arrest.  At the Knowles Law Firm the legal team has been defending all types of DUI charges for years and has a complete understanding of how to deal with the charges, as well as being very familiar with the court personnel.  This can be an advantage when negotiating on your behalf.

Scottsdale Lawyer for DUI Defense

Arizona has very strict laws regarding drunk driving, and some of the toughest penalties in the country. Even on a first DUI conviction you face very steep fines, community service and jail time. If you have an earlier DUI conviction and are facing your second DUI or third DUI, the penalties increase radically. Whatever the situation is in your case, Attorney Anthony Knowles can work with you to bring your case to a resolution, and increase the possibility of a better outcome. 

No case is perfect, and there could be procedural errors in yours. A DUI defense lawyer from the firm would like to evaluate your case and advise you of how to proceed and the options in your defense. In many cases, there are more possible options than most people realize; take advantage of the years of successful cases and call the firm to protect your rights.

When you have been arrested for drunk driving, there are two aspects of your case that need immediate attention. Initially, when pleading "guilty" or "not guilty" is an crucial factor. This needs to be discussed with a qualified DUI defense lawyer before making your decision. The second vital step is the MVD hearing, which must be scheduled within 15 days of your arrest. 

This administrative hearing is for the purpose of deciding whether your license will be suspended or revoked. The license suspension can also be waived. At the Knowles Law Firm, a DUI defense attorney can both schedule the hearing and be your legal representative at the hearing. This can increase the chances that you will be able to continue to drive. Don't take chances with your future. DUI charges are serious - call today for aggressive, dedicated legal counsel to fight for you.
