PHOENIX ARIZONA DUI, DWI ATTORNEY / LAWYER

• Obtaining and carefully reviewing the police reports for mistakes, errors, omissions, inaccuracies, and inconsistencies.
  
• Conducting comprehensive tape-recorded pretrial interviews of the key officers and civilian witnesses involved in your case to determine all the facts, not just those included in the police report.
  
• Examination of Fourth Amendment “search and seizure” issues — Was the stop or “seizure” of your vehicle based upon “reasonable suspicion” of criminal activity? Was the client’s subsequent detention lawful? Was there “probable cause” for the arrest?
  
• Examination of the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendment, Miranda, “right to counsel,” and Due Process issues – Did the officers provide the client with a reasonable opportunity to consult with counsel and to preserve potentially exculpatory evidence when such evidence was still available? Did they interfere with those rights?
  
• Consultation with an expert criminalist and/or toxicologist to determine whether or not the blood, breath, or urine test was properly administered in compliance with Arizona law. Our attorneys review the maintenance, calibration, and service records for the intoxilyzer or gas chromatograph with an expert to determine if the testing instrumentation used in your case to analyze the blood, breath, or urine was accurate, operating properly, and maintained in proper working condition;
  
• In many cases, an independent chemical analysis of the blood sample is performed to be sure the test result obtained by the police is accurate, that the sample was properly preserved, and that it has not been contaminated;
  
• Consulting with the client following our pretrial factual investigation and legal analysis as to the issues set forth above to determine whether a trial, negotiated settlement, or other action makes the most sense.
