Comprehensive Arizona DUI Information

SO YOU'VE BEEN ARRESTED FOR DUI IN CHANDLER: You probably already have your court date, unless you are being charged with a felony. Assuming you were arrested by the Chandler Police Department, you likely gave a blood test at the Chandler Police Stateion.

CHANDLER POLICE OFFICERS ARE TRAINED PHLEBOTOMISTS: If you've been arrested for DUI in Chandler, you probably had a blood test taken, and it was probably done by a police officer. The Chandler police department has several officers who are trained and certified to take your blood. They have a blood draw room for DUI cases in the Chandler PD.

YOUR CHANDLER ARRAIGNMENT: If you are in Chandler Municipal Court, you will NOT need to personally attend your first court date IF you have hired a private DUI defense lawyer. If you don't have a lawyer, you will have to go.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: As a Chandler Arizona DUI attorney who practices regularly in Chandler Municipal Court, I can tell you that the Judges and prosecutors are reasonable, but they will not agree to simply dismiss your case.
Electronic Home Detention is available: In Chandler, for 2nd offense DUI pleas, the Chanlder Judges will authorize house arrest in lieu of up to 45 days of a 60 day jail sentence.

How can I best increase my chances of winning a Chaldner Arizona DUI?
If you are reading this right after your arrest, attempt to get an independent test. Go to the hospital emergency room. If you get a blood test and it confirms that you are under the legal limit, the Chandler City Prosecutor's office may agree to dismiss the charge.

On the other hand, if you are rejected by the emergency room, then they can't accuse you of not trying to prove your innocence, and you will be able to testify to a jury that you attempted to get a test to show your innocence, but it was logistically impossible.

If you are reading this more than a couple of hours after your arrest, it is too late to get a blood sample.

The next thing you need to do is educate yourself on Arizona DUI law and process. Once you do this, you will be in the best position to choose a lawyer for your case. Then you need to hire the best Tempe DUI defense lawyer you can find and afford.

We hope that you will give us a chance to serve you in your Tempe DUI case, and look forward to discussing your Chandler DUI case options with you soon.
