If you are arrested for DUI, you can of course hire any defense attorney you want to hire. If you have a brother-in-law or cousin who are attorneys you may consider hiring them. However, your interests might be better served hiring DUI defense lawyers in Tucson. There are a couple of reasons why it makes more sense to hire a lawyer who has had experience working with DUI cases specifically.
First of all, DUI charges are extremely serious and can be a major headache for you if you are convicted. Even if this is your very first offense and the penalties facing you are not that severe, it is important that if you are innocent of the charges that they be dropped and dismissed. This is because the penalties for DUI get more severe the more times you are accused and convicted of driving while you are under the influence. So, if you accept the first charge, no matter how misguided you think it was, then should you ever get arrested again for the same thing, the automatic penalties and things become extremely severe. DUI defense lawyer in Tucson understand this and are going to do everything they can legally do to try and get the charges dismissed or the evidence thrown out.
Obviously, even DUI defense lawyers in Tucson do not want to let drunk drivers loose on their streets and in the cold light of day even those who were legitimately impaired realize they should not have been driving. However, it is very important in these cases that a defendant’s rights are protected because it is just too easy for policemen and others in the system to get carried away with the charges. And the evidence needed to actually prove that the alleged DUI driver was actually drunk is tricky and detailed. That means that often in these cases the police have failed to collect the necessary evidence or to have treated it correctly. In that case, it is easy for defendants who really were not driving under the influence to get convicted. DUI defense lawyers in Tucson understand the burden of proof the state is under to convict and can clearly see where the case against you is just not strong enough to stand.
