Tucson DUI Lawyers
- Catrillo Law Firm:
The penalties for felony driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or driving while intoxicated (DWI) vary depending upon the state. Many of the states have adopted sentencing guidelines that are similar to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Under these guidelines, the states usually provide a sentencing range for each type of offense and provide aggravating and mitigating circumstances that can be used to increase or decrease the sentence.

When you or someone close to you has been charged with a crime it can be a frightening and confusing experience. You may feel that you are being treated unfairly by the arresting law enforcement agency, or by the prosecutor. You may not understand the legal system.
When you are facing serious consequences as the result of a criminal charge, you need someone you can rely on. You need an expert in criminal law who will take the time to listen to you, who will give you the best advice possible, and who will fight on your behalf.

- Sione Law Group:
You've suffered one of the most stressful, embarrassing experiences a
person can endure. You've been arrested for Drunk Driving/DUI.
If you're like most people, you enjoy going out. You may have a glass of
wine with dinner or a beer with colleagues. You may think you're being
responsible, trying to watch your alcohol intake. Never in your wildest
dreams did you imagine you'd need one to contact a DUI Lawyer. But it
doesn't take much to register a 0.08 on the Blood Alcohol Content scale
(the legal limit in Arizona). A 180-pound person could register over the
limit after only three glasses of wine. This result depends on several
factors, including height, weight, amount of time spent drinking and
type of alcoholic beverages consumed. Regardless, there is no sure way
to know if you are ÒlegalÓ to drive.
If you're pulled over after a night out, arrested and given a roadside
sobriety test, how do you respond? If you're formally charged with DUI
in Arizona how do you navigate the legal process to ensure your rights
are protected to the fullest extent allowed by law? You need an Arizona
drunk driving lawyer, so you can defend yourself. But not all Arizona
DUI lawyers are alike.
If you're arrested in any count in Arizona for DUI, you need a DUI
lawyer dedicated to successfully defending drunkrearview2.jpg

County, Arizona DUI attorney who will provide the best possible defense
for you.
- Davila Law Office:
When you are charged with a crime, contacting an attorney as early as possible is crucial.
- Benavidez Law Group:
Hiring a criminal defense attorney is different from hiring any other kind of attorney. The individual needing to hire a criminal defense attorney is someone facing criminal charges, often for the first time. That individual is often either in jail, or has been recently released from jail. In all criminal cases, that individual is facing the prospect of either jail or prison time. It is quite common for an individual facing criminal prosecution for the first time to be extraordinarily frightened.
In order to properly retain a criminal defense attorney, an individual facing criminal prosecution should be well aware of the attorney's experience, reputation, and ability to spend the appropriate amount of time on his or her case.
