Phoenix DUI Lawyers
First DUI Offense
A 1st DUI (driving under the influence) offense and conviction in Arizona can severely affect your future and your driving privileges if you do not have proper legal representation. Any type of driving under the influence conviction may carry with it a mandatory jail sentence unless a Phoenix DUI defense attorney with knowledge of the criminal court system is able to request and negotiate alternative sentencing on your behalf.
The Phoenix DUI defense lawyers at Beauchamp Law Office have a long history of case wins involving all types of DUI offenses throughout Phoenix and the surrounding areas in Arizona. As experienced criminal defense attorneys we provide our clients with the care and attention needed to help provide a positive outcome for their Phoenix DUI cases. In most instances for a 1st offense DUI we are able to obtain counseling instead of a jail sentence.

Knowledgeable Legal Representation
In Arizona if you drive erratically, disobey traffic signs or any traffic laws, officers can stop and investigate you for DUI. You may be asked to perform one or more field sobriety tests and breath or blood tests to measure your BAC (blood alcohol content). Anyone found to be driving with a BAC of 0.08% or higher will be arrested and charged with DUI. The arresting officer will also hold onto your driver’s license until it is determined whether or not it will be legally suspended. In order to contest the suspension you must schedule a MVD (Motor Vehicle division) Hearing within 15 days of your initial arrest. Failure to do so will result in the automatic suspension of your right to drive in Arizona.
