Law enforcement often will specify that you must perform field sobriety tests or you can be arrested. However, you have the legal right to refuse sobriety tests and in doing so this is not enough reason to charge you with DUI. The officer must have other suspicions or evidence to continue. In addition, you may be asked to provide a sample of your BAC (blood alcohol content) by submitting to breath or blood tests, or urine tests. These tests often are performed incorrectly, mishandled and/or misread by lab personal and in most cases may be easy for an experienced attorney to challenge.

Depending on the circumstances of your individual case, as professional DUI defense attorneys we will determine what would be the best defense to use for your specific situation. At Beauchamp Law Office we offer a free initial consultation for potential clients in and around Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Glendale and Chandler, Arizona. A Phoenix DUI defense attorney will sit with you and discuss your legal options. Regardless of your unique circumstances our DUI defense lawyers will look to prove your innocence, or request that the charges against you are lowered or dismissed altogether.

Arizona Driving Under the Influence Attorneys

The following are a few more strategies that can be created in one’s defense against a driving under the influence charge:

• An officer must read you your Miranda rights (regarding your right to remain silent until an attorney is present, etc.). If the officer does not read you these rights, they are in violation of the law and this could create a huge impact in your favor for your DUI case.

• When an officer stops you for suspected DUI, the officer must have had probable cause or observed erratic behavior and/or driving in order to investigate you further. If the officer did not have probable cause, your case may be dismissed.

• If you are under the influence but in your vehicle and it is determined that you were sleeping or sobering up and not driving, you cannot be arrested and charged with DUI. If you are, your attorney may be able to have your case dropped.

• Breathalyzer tests that measure BAC often fail and/or read incorrectly due to incorrect calibrations and functioning. These tests can be challenged by a knowledgeable DUI defense lawyer.
