Whether you have been arrested in Scottsdale or elsewhere in Arizona a DUI attorney can help defend you against serious charges and penalties. An experienced DUI lawyer will thoroughly review the circumstances of your incident from beginning to end to find weak points in the State’s case that may allow you to receive a reduced sentence or have your cased dismissed.

Questioning Field Sobriety Testing

Many Arizona residents and visitors are not aware that they do not have to automatically submit to field sobriety tests when they have been pulled over for DUI. These tests range anywhere from the classic finger-to-nose toe touch to more complicated maneuvers, such as reciting the alphabet backwards. These tests are designed to check your reaction time and coordination, which could potentially be an indication of intoxication. However, poor performance of these tests does not guarantee that you are drunk or over the legal BAC limit.

Defending Clients Who Submitted to Field Sobriety Testing

If you opted to perform field sobriety tests, you and your DUI attorney will discuss the types of tests you took and the reliability of the results. Your lawyer and specialized experts who understand the flaws in these tests may be able to help in your case.

Defending Clients Who Refused Field Sobriety Testing

If you refused field sobriety tests your Phoenix or Scottsdale-based DUI attorney from Hock Law Group will let you know how that refusal will look to a judge and possibly a jury. Some view this refusal as an admission of guilt, but others view it simply as a decision made to protect oneself. You and your attorney will be able to create a solid defense strategy to help your case as much as possible

Questioning Chemical Sobriety Testing

Although many people believe that chemical tests are infallible and definite proof of one’s guilt, forensics experts and scientists are less convinced. Chemical tests use blood, urine, or breath samples to determine the blood alcohol content (BAC) in your system. While you can lose your license in Arizona for refusing to take these tests, you can challenge the results later.

Defending Against Results of Chemical DUI Testing

Urine testing is the least reliable of the three tests, and many experts are available to testify as to the problems with the urine tests. The other tests are more reliable but results can be flawed as well due to miscalibration or sample contamination. Additionally, some people argue that certain types of dental work can make the BAC results from a breath test appear higher than it actually is. Your DUI lawyer will be able to explain complications with testing and can help with the specifics of your case. Your DUI attorney will assist you in determining the best defense against DUI test results. In any situation, a good attorney can devise a defense strategy or negotiate penalties that most people find preferable to losing their drivers license for a year.
