Mesa DUI Attorney

The DUI Process and Your Defense

If law enforcement has probable cause to stop a suspected drunk driver and if the driver has a blood alcohol concentration measuring 0.08 or higher within two hours of driving, then the driver will face arrest and criminal DUI charges. A DUI is a serious violation which can result in significant consequences that can have a lasting impact on future educational and/or career aspirations. A convicted DUI offender will usually face jail time, expensive fines, license suspension, interlock ignition devices, and other penalties.

A license suspension can affect an individual who depends on their ability to drive to work or school. In addition to jail time, financial penalties, loss of driving privileges and other consequences, an offender may also lose certain constitutional rights and freedoms when convicted of a felony crime, including the right to vote and bear firearms.
