Can a DUI lawyer really help?

This is probably the most common question asked when a new client walks into our firm.  They want to know how, and in what way, hiring David Black or any skilled defense attorney can help.  And this is a very good question.  Defending a DUI is a time-consuming process; it requires hours of interviews, document review, expert analysis, and more.  As such, they are not cheap to defend.  So, is it worth it?  We answer that with an emphatic "Yes!"  DUI's are so difficult to defend because there is no wiggle room for informal negotiations.  What that means is that in many criminal cases, negotiations can settle a case well before true discovery, investigation, and litigation begins.  For example, it is not very difficult to plead most class 4 felonies down to class 6 felonies in Phoenix Superior Court.  A DUI, however, is a different story.  Because of the torrent of media attention and interest groups such as MADD, the mandatory minimums for first time DUIs have been first raised to include jail, and more recently raised to include substantial jail.

What does this mean for my lawyer's work on my DUI?

At our law firm, we recognize various levels of success for our clients.  Our clients come to us with a myriad of different legal situations, even among our various DUI clients.  We are able to conduct our thorough investigation and determine for our clients the best course of action.  We are always able to present to the client a laundry list of the avenues we have exhausted, which may result in a better deal, a dismissal, or a victory at trial.

So when asked if it is worth it to hire an attorney, the question you need to ask is if can you afford not to?  Without an attorney with experience in driving under the influence charges, there is very little that will be done to ensure you receive the best chance at obtaining a positive outcome.   You simply will never know what could have been done.

Contact the Law Offices of David A. Black today and allow us to begin working on your DUI case.  Our first order of business will be to explain the law and how it affects your situation.  From there, we will take a vigorous course of action which should leave no stone unturned in the defense of your rights as a citizen of Arizona and a citizen of the United States of America.

Phoenix Criminal Defense Attorney

Former prosecutor David A. Black has consistently won cases for his clients since he began his private practice in 2008. A staunch social advocate who has been recognized for his pro bono work, Mr. Black left the prosecutor's office to serve the community he believes in by defending it. His education at the University of California Los Angeles prepared him for the fast-paced life of a criminal lawyer, and his work as a prosecutor sharpened his skills as an attorney. After leaving the prosecutor's office, he began working for a large firm in Phoenix. Since then, Mr. Black has devoted himself to private practice, investing his time and energy in providing more personal attention to the person who is most important - you!  Hiring a criminal defense lawyer is a big decision and can make a big impact on your future.  David Black will walk you through this process and help you understand your options.
