Arizona DUI Laws - Phoenix Criminal Attorneys

Arizona DUI Implied Consent Law
Arizona DUI Implied consent law is designed to discourage suspected DUI drivers from refusing to submit to Arizona DUI testing. Tests includes BAC (blood alcohol content) chemical test (breath, blood, or urine testing). Top Criminal Defense Attorneys will advise you to submit to the BAC and/or Chemical Test if requested by the Officer. This is because your refusal to submit to testing will result in harsh consequences including loss of your driver's license for one year. You see, police can get BAC and chemical tests they need whether you refuse or not. Upon refusal, the officer will contact the judge immediately, who will then issue a warrant to obtain your blood...the will still get your (BAC) anyway. The only thing you get for refusing is a penalty of one year loss of driver's license. Also, your refusal will be held against you at trial.

Even if your Arizona DUI is dismissed, you will still lose your right to drive for one year. You should immediately contact an experienced Arizona DUI lawyer. If you refused breath or chemical tests, your Arizona DUI attorney can request a hearing and possibly vacate the year long Arizona drivers' license suspension.

Additionally, a good Phoenix Arizona DUI defense lawyer may get the DUI charges against you reduced or even dropped. You'll want someone on your side because a DUI conviction and a violation of the Implied Consent Laws can result in heavy fines, insurance coverage problems and losing your driver's license and even jail for a criminal conviction.
