Implied Consent

Tempe DUI Defense - Implied Consent - MVD Hearings

Contact an experienced Arizona DUI defense attorney at the Weingart Law Firm in Tempe for state of the art advocacy on any drunk driving charge. Our experience and our sophisticated understanding of advanced DUI defense techniques give our clients a distinct advantage when facing mandatory jail time, automatic license suspensions, and heavy fines.

Ideally, we will advise clients between the time they're pulled over by an officer and the time they decide whether to provide a blood sample or breath sample. In Arizona, you have the right to refuse a breath test until you are given the chance to talk to a lawyer --if you clearly state your intention to do so to the arresting officer.

Otherwise, we will take the facts where we find them and defend our clients with all of the resources at our disposal in cases involving the following charges and considerations:

• Basic DUI charges, involving first-time offenders and a blood alcohol level below .15 percent
• Implied consent violations, where you refused a breath or blood test
• Damaging evidence gathered from a field sobriety test
• Extreme DUI charges, where your blood alcohol content is alleged to be .15 percent or higher, and that involve especially harsh penalties, including the new "Super Extreme" .20 or above mandatory 45 day jail sentence crime.
• Felony charges of aggravated DUI, and alcohol-related vehicular assault and homicide charges
• Repeat offender cases, which for third-offense DUI cases can be charged as felonies
• Driver's license suspension issues, to be resolved in Arizona MVD administrative hearings while your DUI criminal case is pending

The penalties for drunk driving in Arizona have become so severe that nowadays, any conviction for DUI in Arizona, carries a mandatory ignition interlock device requirement for at least 1 year.

Our clients come from all walks of life in Greater Phoenix and all over Arizona. We represent many licensed professionals, such as pilots, nurses, teachers, and even attorneys, whose professional standing can be damaged or ruined by a DUI conviction. We'll approach your defense with a full awareness of the risk that a conviction would present for your occupational license, and we will help you deal with your licensing board while defending you on the DUI charges.
