Scottsdale DUI Attorney
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I have been arrested for a DUI and I have to go to court. I don't know what to do. Is there any hope of defending myself?
A: Any DUI case may have options for defense. Surprisingly, many individuals who have been arrested and charged with a DUI do not get a DUI defense lawyer to fight for them, but just go through the court process without fighting. If you wish to defend your case, it is crucial that you immediately contact a Scottsdale DUI attorney from the Knowles Law Firm to review and evaluate your case.
Q: I was arrested for DUI and I already have a conviction. What will happen to me in court?
A: When you have an earlier DUI conviction within the past five years, your penalties are enhanced. You face some very serious penalties including jail time should you be convicted a second time. It is very important to your future that you contact the Knowles Law Firm immediately to make a strategy for your defense.
Q: My son was arrested for underage DUI. He had a very low amount of alcohol in his system and was not driving recklessly. Is there anything we can do?
A: Arizona laws are "zero tolerance" when it comes to underage drinking and driving. This means that anyone under 21 years of age who has any amount of alcohol in their system will be arrested and charged with DUI. Where an adult can have up to .08% blood alcohol concentration, an underage person cannot even register at .01%. In these cases it is best to defend the case as the future of your son can radically change, based only on a DUI conviction. This can affect jobs, school and other factors, as well as the ability to drive at all.
Q: I got arrested and charged with a DUI and they thought I was drunk because of the field sobriety tests they gave me. Actually, I have a physical problem that causes me to have bad balance, but I was arrested anyway. What can I do?
A: Field sobriety testing is a common way that law enforcement makes the determination whether a person is intoxicated or not. However, these tests are known to be less than scientific. How they are administered also makes a difference. There are many instances on the books where it was proven that the test was wrongly adjudicated. It would serve your best interests to contact the Knowles Law Firm as the legal team has successfully fought such evidence in the past.
