DUI Defense

Scottsdale DUI Defense Lawyer

Statewide Representation for Arizona Drivers

If you have been arrested for DUI in Arizona, now is the time to act. A DUI conviction can derail your career, drain your finances, jeopardize your driver’s license, and even lead to jail time. You cannot afford to face these charges alone. The right defense lawyer can mean the difference between walking away with your future intact and living with life-altering consequences.

Ramos Law Firm understands the stress, uncertainty, and potential consequences you face. With 30+ years of experience, Attorney Ramos has built a reputation for aggressively defending clients against DUI charges of every kind.

We know that cases can be won through thorough defense work and preparation. Many avenues can be investigated, from police procedural mistakes to breathalyzer issues, and more. If dismissal is impossible, we fight to reduce the charges, lower fines, and protect your freedom.

Beating a DUI Charge in Arizona

At Ramos Law Firm, we have many strategies that can be used to challenge DUI charges, such as:

Questioning the legality of the traffic stop or checkpoint
Disputing the accuracy of field sobriety tests
Challenging blood alcohol concentration (BAC) results from breath or blood tests
Arguing improper police procedures or failure to read Miranda rights
Making a “rising BAC” defense (arguing that your BAC was below the legal limit while driving, but rose later by the time a chemical test was administered, challenging whether you were legally impaired at the time you were operating the vehicle)
Exposing officer misconduct or constitutional violations

We also handle license suspension directly with the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD), completely separate cases from the criminal court proceedings. Losing your license can be just as devastating as the criminal penalties, and we fight to protect both.

Understanding Arizona DUI Charges

Arizona DUI charges are not limited to alcohol. They also include impairment from drugs, prescription medication, and even certain over-the-counter substances. The penalties escalate depending on BAC level, prior convictions, and aggravating factors such as injury or repeat offenses.

Types of Arizona DUI charges include:

Standard DUI: BAC of 0.08% or higher, even if your driving was not impaired.
Extreme DUI: BAC of 0.15% to 0.199%.
Super Extreme DUI: BAC of 0.20% and above.
Felony DUI: Involves injury, death, driving on a suspended license, or multiple prior convictions.

Potential penalties may include:

Mandatory jail time (even for first offenses)
Hefty fines and court fees
License suspension or revocation
Ignition interlock device installation
Alcohol or drug treatment programs
A permanent criminal record
