Misdemeanor DUI

Maricopa County Drunk Driving Defense

Although most DUI (driving under the influence) charges in Arizona are classified as misdemeanors, all DUI charges are serious and a conviction can have consequences — court costs, fines, attorney fees, jail time, the loss of your license and increased insurance rates — that you'd rather avoid.

By hiring a lawyer to defend against the charges, you give yourself a chance to minimize or avoid consequences altogether. What do you have to lose? A lot. Contact us in Phoenix, Arizona, for a free consultation today.

Experienced Arizona DUI Defense Lawyers

At Billar & Donald, we handle misdemeanor DUI cases in the Phoenix area and across the state for individuals from all walks of life. That's because in Arizona, a DUI can happen to anyone. Our firm offers a high level of experience and skill to defend people charged with the following misdemeanors:

• Driving under the influence of alcohol (prosecutors can charge you with this even if your blood alcohol content (BAC) was under .08)
• Driving with a BAC in excess of .08
• Extreme DUI (driving with a BAC in excess of .15)
• Super extreme DUI (a BAC of 0.20 or more within two hours of driving)
• Driving under the influence of drugs
• Driving with the presence of a metabolite of an illicit drug in your system (yes, it's conceivable that you could be stone-cold sober but face DUI charges because of marijuana you smoked two weeks ago)

If you've been arrested for one of these, you need to act fast to save your driver's license and to improve your odds of beating or reducing the charges. To start, our lawyers can request an administrative hearing about your driver's license and use that proceeding as a way to gather evidence and get police testimony on the record before a trial ever begins. We'll also look hard at the probable cause issues surrounding the stop, examine any testing procedures and equipment that were used by the officers, and review any conversations that took place between you and law enforcement officials after you were stopped. We'll then raise these issues whenever possible to obtain the best possible outcome we can.
