The seasoned attorneys at the Nolan Law Firm provide an aggressive defense against DUI offenses, develop a comprehensive battle plan to attack the allegations, and give you the peace of mind to function in your daily life. We will examine every aspect of your case to find ways to create the strongest defense, including without limitation:

  • Did police lack a reasonable suspicion to stop you?
  • Did police fail to observe any impaired driving?
  • Did police lack a reasonable suspicion to conduct field sobriety tests?
  • Did the officer improperly administer field sobriety testing?
  • Did police lack probable cause to arrest you?
  • Did the officer properly invoke admin per se to obtain your breath, blood, or urine?
  • Did the officer coerce you into submitting to a breath, blood, or urine test?
  • Did police violate your right to counsel?
  • Did the officer violate your right to speak to an attorney privately?
  • Did police violate your right to remain silent?
  • Did police violate your right to obtain an independent test?
  • Did police obtain a search warrant to get your breath, blood, or urine?
  • Did police improperly obtain your breath, blood, or urine?

DUI Consequences Become More Serious

Arizona’s penalties for driving under the influence are severe. A first-offense drunk driving conviction is bad enough. But perhaps the worst thing about a first-offense DUI is that it puts you at risk for the life-altering penalties that come with second offenses and third offenses. Fighting a DUI charge to avoid the consequences of a DUI conviction is more than worth it! Below is information from the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
