Prescott DUI Lawyer Helping Clients in Arizona

• DUI Defense Strategies
• Contact an Arizona DUI Lawyer

If you have been arrested in Prescott or another location in Arizona for DUI, you need an experienced lawyer to help you fight the charges against you. Hock Law Group has a skilled team of attorneys that are ready to help protect your rights and freedoms. Your attorney will work aggressively to build a strong defense that may reduce the penalties against you or even get your case dismissed all together.

DUI Defense Strategies

Review the following defense strategies to learn more about how a DUI attorney from our firm can help you:

• The first defense position your Arizona DUI lawyer can use is to say that the officer stopped your vehicle illegally. The officer in question cannot stop a vehicle or person unless he or she has a reasonable basis to believe a crime has been committed or is about to be committed.
• Your lawyer may also claim that weaving between the lines is not a crime and a vehicle cannot be stopped because of that reason. If you were driving erratically, but were well within the lines, you may use this defense to avoid conviction.
• Your DUI lawyer may also stress that a vehicle stop cannot result from an anonymous tip. If someone reported that you were driving erratically, and the officer stopped you for that reason only, you may be able to use this defense to dodge a DUI conviction.
• A popular defense in DUI cases that often results in a dismissal of charges is to claim that the results from any chemical or field sobriety testing are inaccurate. Many experts do agree that many tests used to determine if someone is under the influence and too impaired to operate a motor vehicle aren't as accurate as many believe.
• Make sure your DUI lawyer takes into account whether or not you receive a speedy trial. If your trial process is drawn out, for whatever reason, the charges can be dismissed.
• Another strong defense tactic is to review the tapes of the arrest, as well as the in-station tapes, which may contradict reports from officers that claim you were intoxicated. Often times these tapes can show that defendants were coherent and steady, not wavering with slurred speech as the officers have claimed.
• A defense of interfering substances may also be used. Some substances contain alcohol, which may result in a false positive test, such as asthma medications, paints, fingernail polish, etc. If you were using one of these substances, then this may be a viable defense.
• Bad weather can also cause erratic driving or unsteadiness. If there were high winds, torrential rain, or other such weather anomalies, the videos will reveal this or the officer's reports will.
