Mesa DUI and Criminal Defense Lawyers
Defending the Accused

When someone encounters legal problems that deal with accusations of criminal conduct or an Arizona DUI, that person faces a serious situation that must prompt an immediate response.  While fear and stress are normal and appropriate responses to these situations, someone in this position needs to push past those emotions and seek the help of experienced Mesa DUI and criminal defense lawyers.  Doing so early on in the process could make all of the difference in terms of the end result, and below are just a few reasons as to why legal counsel is essential.

Mesa DUI Defense Lawyers – Fighting Against Tough Penalties

Those who have been arrested on suspicion of an Arizona DUI should understand that this state is notorious for its tough penalties for a conviction under this charge, even if the defendant has no prior criminal record.  Specifically, convicted defendants could face heavy fines, a period of incarceration, the loss of driving privileges and an order to have an ignition interlock device installed in their vehicle at their own expense.

Experienced Mesa DUI defense lawyers who have handled these cases many times in the past will be able to closely review all of the evidence that's available to the prosecution, to review the arrest in order to identify any potential problems with that process and to prepare the client for the DMV hearing that must be requested in a matter of days.  Failure to analyze any of these steps could make the difference between a conviction and a more positive result in many situations.

Mesa Criminal Defense Lawyers – Protecting Your Constitutional Rights

If someone is being investigated for or has already been arrested on suspicion of a crime, experienced Arizona criminal defense lawyers will need to help that person on several fronts.  These specific types of help include reviewing the facts and the evidence of the case, being present to protect the client during any periods of questioning and making sure that the suspect's Constitutional rights are protected and enforced.

In addition to the technicalities that always arise in these situations, Mesa criminal defense lawyers who have a positive reputation within the legal community may also be able to work with prosecutors to negotiate a plea bargain in certain cases that will allow the defendant to avoid a trial and to accept a lesser charge and a lighter punishment.  Of course, understanding when this approach is appropriate also requires experience and knowledge of the law.

If you face either of these situations, you need to act now to make sure that you're giving yourself the best chance possible to achieve a reasonable result.  Contact the Law Offices of Alex Lane immediately to schedule an initial consultation.
