The Law Offices of Trent R. Buckallew, P.C. offers experienced and professional legal representation to clients arrested and charged with driving under the influence (DUI). Law enforcement may stop any suspected drunk driver, administer sobriety tests, and may also require additional tests, including a breath test, blood test, or urine test to determine the blood alcohol concentration in the driver's system.
A driver with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) measuring 0.08 or higher, within two hours of driving, is legally intoxicated and under state law, is not allowed to operate a motor vehicle, or be in actual physical control of the vehicle. A driver with a blood alcohol concentration of .15 or more, but less than .20 within two hours of driving is guilty of driving under the influence of extreme DUI, if convicted. An individual arrested and charged with an extreme DUI should contact a Mesa criminal defense lawyer for legal advice and counsel regarding defense strategies to advance during the
DUI process. Mr. Buckallew is well versed in criminal law and has a
proven record of success in defending extreme DUI cases. He is an active member of the State Bar of Arizona, the American Academy of Forensic Science, the National Association of
Criminal Defense Lawyers, and Arizona Attorneys for Criminal Justice. He has extensive experience in navigating through the court system and litigating all types of criminal cases from misdemeanor to complicated felony cases.
Mesa DUI Defense Lawyer
An extreme DUI is a serious crime with harsh penalties that can include the following, if convicted:
- Maximum 6 months in jail
- 5 years probation
- $2,500 fines, fees, and surcharge
- 30-day impound of vehicle
- License suspension 90 days to 1 year
- Ignition interlock device
The penalities and charges can increase due to prior convictions for DUI, or when a child under 15 years of age was in the vehicle at the time of the event, or if an accident resulted in injuries or fatalities, or if the driver's license was suspended at the time of the incident. Leaving the scene of a DUI accident is a serious crime and can result in harsh penalties after a conviction. Given the serious consequences of a DUI conviction, it is critical to hire an experienced DUI attorney who has the skills necessary to advance an aggressive legal defense, as well as the experience in challenging both the scientific and physical evidence in your case. Mr. Buckallew has the knowledge and experience necessary to defend against any
DUI or criminal charge, with many years of experience in litigating serious and complex criminal and DUI cases. Make an appointment today for a free consultation.
