What to expect after you’ve been arrested for a Phoenix DUI-Don’t forget to contact a Phoenix DUI attorney as soon as possible

You were out having a good time in Phoenix and decided to drive home.  Out of nowhere, you see lights flashing and sirens howling behind you.  You pull over to the side of the road and are approached by a Phoenix police officer who asks for your license, proof of insurance and registration.  You respectfully provide the documentation.  The officer goes back to his car to run your license.  He comes back and begins to ask you questions.  You politely refuse to answer.  He then asks you to step out of your vehicle to perform field sobriety tests.  You decline the offer to do these. The officer continues on and asks you to breathe into a portable breath test and you explain you would like to first contact your Phoenix DUI attorney.  The next thing you know you are being arrested on suspicion of a Phoenix DUI.  You had once read what to do when you were pulled over for a DUI but that was all the information you had been given.  Now what are you supposed to do!

First things first!  You will be taken back to the station.  They will book you, take mug shots, fingerprints and lock you in a cell where you will likely be be observed for around 20 minutes.  You will then have the opportunity to contact your Phoenix DUI attorney.  Your attorney may have you go ahead and submit to a blood test but will likely not have you answer any further questions unless he or she is present.

Next, you will likely be taken to an informal arraignment hearing where the judge will set a court date for the preliminary hearing.  If you haven’t already contacted a Phoenix DUI attorney, now would be a good time to do so as you have a small window prior to your preliminary hearing.  Your attorney, the judge and the prosecuting attorney will then have a pretrial conference to discuss the case.  This is also an opportunity for your attorney to see if it will be possible to negotiate a plea-agreement or if it is better for you to move forward with a jury trial.  DUI’s are not easy cases which is why it is imperative you have a Phoenix DUI attorney you can belive in and trust and who knows Phoenix DUI laws inside and out.

For a Phoenix DUI, you are potentially facing a suspended license, fines, court costs, jail, community service, probation, a rehabilitation program, etc.  As you can plainly see, it is no joking matter and is nothing to take lightly.  Don’t jeapordize your freedom, contact an experienced Phoenix DUI attorney now!
