your case could either (a) be dismissed, or (b) all statements made following the arrest can possibly be suppressed. It is important to tell your lawyer everything that the arresting officer did or said when you were arrested. Small details can help your attorney build your case.
Your attorney can likewise prove that the officer had no reasonable cause to stop your vehicle in the first place. If you were not driving the vehicle when the officer stopped you, your lawyer can likewise argue that you were not in “actual physical control” of the car, and your case may be dismissed.
You can lessen the negative impact of a DUI by seeking the help of an experience attorney who can protect you against the strictest tenets of the Arizona DUI law. Keep in mind, however, that serving time in jail for DUI is mandatory; so don’t expect to evade this regulation especially if you know that you were in fact driving under the influence. A good DUI attorney can, however, shorten your jail time and reduce your fines, depending on the seriousness of your case. Get in touch with a DUI attorney immediately after your arrest to prevent further damage.
