Don't Let Your Phoenix Suspension Become a Detention
KOPLOW LAW FIRM- DUI LAW PROFESSIONALS IN PHOENIX and Scottsdale, AZ
Misdemeanor DUI cases can become felonies. That is, conduct that would normally be a misdemeanor DUI in, will result in felony (a.k.a Aggravated DUI), if certain additional circumstances are present. One such set of circumstances concerns the status of your driver’s license at the time of arrest.
Important: Arizona law requires that government prove you “knew” or “should have” known your driver’s license was suspended at the time of the arrest.

Hiring a Suspended License Attorney in Phoenix, AZ
Arizona DUI law is extremely complicated and has severe consequences. DUI law is commonly referred to as a minefield. An attorney must be competent in the Arizona Rules of “Criminal” Procedure, the Arizona Rules of Evidence, the United States and Arizona Constitutions, and the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles Rules and Regulations.
An attorney cannot do anything for you unless he or she has extensive experience in these areas. Police officers are only human and do commit legal errors. However, only an experienced DUI attorney will be able to find these errors and use them to help his or her client.
You should choose an experienced DUI attorney for the same reason you should choose a qualified doctor. If you break your wrist, you go to a doctor that specializes in wrist injuries. When you are charged with a DUI, you should hire a qualified DUI attorney.
An experienced Arizona DUI attorney can analyze your case for legal errors and defenses. He or she can have blood samples independently analyzed, look for suppression issues, review calibration / COBRA records of breath machines, find the right expert witnesses for your trial, and assist you with your driver’s license issues.

It was miracle!... A lot of people don't really understand the benefit of having an attorney who used to be a prosecutor. They know all the little tricks and scare tactics the state has as opposed to just hiring an attorney who is a little fish in a big pond."
