How can I best increase my chances of winning a Tucson Arizona DUI?
If you are reading this right after your arrest, attempt to get an independent test. Go to the hospital emergency room. If you get a blood test and it confirms that you are under the legal limit, the Tucson City Prosecutor's office may agree to dismiss the charge.
On the other hand, if you are rejected by the emergency room, then they can't accuse you of not trying to prove your innocence, and you will be able to testify to a jury that you attempted to get a test to show your innocence, but it was logistically impossible.
If you are reading this more than a couple of hours after your arrest, it is too late to get a blood sample.
The next thing you need to do is educate yourself on Arizona DUI law and process. Once you do this, you will be in the best position to choose a lawyer for your case. Then you need to hire the best Tucson DUI defense lawyer you can find and afford.
We hope that you will give us a chance to serve you in your Tucson DUI case, and look forward to discussing your Tucson DUI case options with you soon.
