Whether you were arrested in Phoenix, Tempe, Tucson or another Arizona community, contacting a DUI lawyer will ensure that your rights are protected during the pretrial and trial phases of your case. An attorney should go over the circumstances and events of the arrest with you step-by-step. This information should include any types of sobriety tests you took and the results. The more information you recall for your lawyer the easier it will be for him or her to get started defending your case.
Having a lawyer familiar with the area in which you were arrested is a big advantage in your case. If you were arrested in Tucson, a DUI lawyer familiar with that area will have the advantage of knowing what type of testimony that the prosecution’s witnesses will provide. Informing your attorney about the type of sobriety testing performed at the scene will also help your lawyer gain an advantage presenting your case.
A good DUI lawyer will know expert defense witnesses who may be able to cast doubt on certain types of sobriety testing. The medical community, for example, does not accept some field sobriety tests as indicators that someone has been drinking. Other tests have forensic flaws, meaning they are likely to present inaccurate results. If you choose a DUI lawyer from Hock Law Group, he or she will know trusted experts who can help refute unfair testing results and evidence at your trial.
Should you wish to resolve your case quickly and are willing to admit guilt or request alternative sentencing, such as in-patient drug or alcohol treatment, then it is important to retain an attorney who is skilled at negotiating these types of deals. A quality defense attorney will be able to present your position to the prosecuting attorney and work on a plea arrangement for you, if desired. While you can do this legwork yourself, having an experience DUI lawyer on your side means having someone who knows all of the possible outcomes and has training and experience in negotiating with other attorneys.
The type of training that a skilled DUI lawyer can bring to your case is something that you cannot provide yourself. Although it is your right to represent yourself, it is not advisable. DUI cases can result in jail time, hefty fines, and loss of your driver’s license. These consequences are serious, which makes it all the more important to get an experienced attorney on your side as quickly as possible.
Whether you live in Tucson or another Arizona location, a qualified DUI lawyer will review your options and explain them to you as an unbiased participant in the case. People close to you may not be able to give you sound advice, but you can talk through everything with your attorney to make sure you make the right choice for your situation. This type of relationship will help you make choices that protect to your interests.
