DUI/DWI
A conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI) can result in serious consequences. Arizona has some of the strictest DUI laws in the country, with stringent regulations against drunk driving. Violators of Arizona's DUI laws risk jail time, license suspensions, expensive fines, and other devastating consequences.
All Vehicular Crimes
We also represent clients in a host of different vehicular criminal matters, including:
- Road blocks
- DUI homicides
- Motor vehicle division hearings, including license suspensions and revocations
- Minors who are arrested for driving while having alcohol in their bodies
- Commercial drivers, including effects of a DUI arrest on commercial drivers' licenses and employment
Homicide Crimes
Felony homicide charges can carry potential penalties as severe as life imprisonment or death. Facing a murder charge can be both intimidating and frightening, but we have the skills and experience to protect your rights and ensure that your case is handled fairly. Our attorneys have an in-depth understanding of Arizona's homicide statutes, criminal procedures, and the defense strategies that can prove effective in contesting these serious charges.
Sexual Offenses
Sexual offenses include charges of date rape, statutory rape, sexual assault, sexual conduct with a minor, and child pornography, and can be charged as either misdemeanors or felonies depending on the facts of the case and the defendant's prior criminal history. The penalties for a sexual offensive conviction are frequently severe, such as lengthy jail time and having to register as a sex offender, and can have significant consequences for your life in both the short and long term.
Drug Offenses
Drug offenses include selling drugs, transporting drugs, possessing drugs or narcotics, drug manufacturing, and drug cultivation, and can carry severe penalties including several years in state prison. A qualified criminal defense lawyer can vigorously defend your rights and pursue legal strategies that can minimize penalties.
Prostitution Cases
Arizona law enforcement agencies have invested significant resources, time, and personnel toward targeting prostitution-related crimes. If you are arrested for pandering or solicitation, contact a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate your case and stand by you throughout the criminal process.
Appeals
Generally, criminal defendants have the right to appeal their conviction if there are any legal errors that prejudiced their constitutional right to a fair and impartial trial. In most circumstances, criminal appeals must be filed in a timely manner and motions must be properly drafted and filed for the appeal to proceed.
