5 Factors that affect the Outcome of a Criminal Case - Having competent legal representation can make all the difference!

When arrested for a criminal offense, you can only guess what will happen after charges are levied. Whether you are at fault or not, you will find yourself in a compromised composition amid police investigations and the stigma on your personal life. One thing is certain that you are innocent until proven guilty, and you have to do everything in your power to avoid a conviction. Criminal actions can be classified as misdemeanors or felonies; a misdemeanor is subject to lighter penalties, whereas a felony is guaranteed to land you in prison.

Whatever crime you committed or got accused of, the following factors have a huge impact on criminal proceedings and the conclusion of the case:

Legal Drugs can also lead to DUI Charges in Arizona.

DUI charges are not limited to drunk drivers or those who are ‘high’ on an illegal substance around the time they get behind the wheel. While intoxication by alcohol and prohibited drugs like co***ne, m**h, and L*D are the primary cause of DUI arrests, many legal drugs also factor into the equation. Drivers are suspected of driving under the influence for a variety of reasons, and testing negative for alcohol does not get them off the hook. About 10% of drivers pulled over by traffic cops have OTC drugs or prescribed medication in their system.

While most of these drugs may be safe when used as directed or approved by a medical professional, their aftereffects can interfere with your ability to drive. If you exhibit impaired driving under the influence of a legal drug, you can still be convicted and receive penalties equivalent to that of drunk driving.

Having worked in policing and criminal defense; I have had to deal with countless numbers of police and at various capacities. Because of those experiences, I know things about criminal law that other attorneys won’t know unless they were in law enforcement. Because I have seen the process from the other side and that knowledge is invaluable.

Since finding a criminal defense attorney who has personal experience in policing is rare. Furthermore, police officers who become lawyers usually end up on the prosecution side. Therefore, my unique experience and dedication to my clients are what make me such a successful criminal defense attorney.

Arizona has the toughest DUI laws in the country. Every DUI conviction requires at least one day in jail; along with mandatory fines, assessments, alcohol or drug screening and treatment, and driver license suspensions.

It is difficult to win a DUI charge. The police officer usually makes many DUI arrests a year. In addition, an officer may be part of a “task force” that does nothing but make DUI arrests. They do the same thing over and over and some get very good at it.

The minimum mandatory sentences are so harsh that prosecutors routinely offer a plea agreement to the minimum sentence. Many people assume they are going to get this minimum mandatory sentence anyway, so why hire an attorney?

You should always consult a lawyer before deciding to just take a plea offer. In a DUI case, the lawyer should consider whether the police had enough reason to stop you, whether they had enough evidence to arrest you, and whether the blood or breath test was done properly.

Any one of these could get the charges thrown out. Even if there is only a question of whether they were done right, it may cause a prosecutor to offer you a lower charge, like reckless driving. If you have been charged with a DUI, contact my office to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case. As a former police officer, I have a unique understanding of DUI laws.

A New Reason You Need a Lawyer When Talking to the Police

Most people think they have a Constitutional right to remain silent. That is close, but the correct right is not to be compelled to be a witness against oneself. The Supreme Court made that right clearer when it required police to tell people under arrest that they have the “right to remain silent.”

But, what if you are not yet under arrest? What if you don’t answer police questions, but just choose to say nothing? Can that be used against you? Well, what the Supreme Court gives, they also take away.

Understanding Vandalism and its Consequences

Vandalism can be defined as the intentional destruction of property, causing damage that is neither completely irreversible nor so profound that it renders the object unusable or inoperative.

Vandalism may be perceived as a minor infraction, but it can be classified as a misdemeanor or felony crime, depending on the extent of damages. At times vandalism charges lead to thousands of dollars in court fines and protracted jail time.
