Award-Winning Expertise for Phoenix, Arizona DUI and Vehicular Crimes

Former DUI Prosecutor with 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN Scottsdale, Phoenix Arizona DUI cases

Arizona DUI cases (and the category vehicular crimes) are a specialized area of law. It has been my focus for almost 20 years. To successfully defend a person accused, a lawyer must have a deep understanding of the science and law relating to each offense.  I have this understanding in the following kinds of cases....for your defense.


Where is “drunk driving?” Arizona does not use the term “drunk driving.” Nor does Arizona have offenses named DWI, OWI, OWVI or DUIL. Instead, Arizona law uses DUI, Extreme DUI, Super-Extreme DUI, and Aggravated DUI.

Driving under the influence of a drug, or in some instances prior use of a drug, can be either a misdemeanor or a felony in Arizona.

A valid prescription is a legal defense in Arizona. However, that does not end the case. There is still the issue of whether the medication impaired you while driving.

What Real People Are Saying

That is, DUI cases actually dismissed. Verifiable not guilty verdicts. Blood alcohol evidence truly suppressed as witnessed by judges, other lawyers, and newspapers.
