Frequently Asked Questions
What Should I Do Immediately After Being Arrested?
If you find yourself under arrest, it is vital to remain calm and collected. Immediately request to speak with a lawyer and refrain from answering any questions until your attorney is present. Remember, anything you say can be used against you, so exercising your right to remain silent is crucial. Call MayesTelles PLLC as soon as possible to receive guidance on the next steps and ensure your rights are protected.
How Can I Reduce or Dismiss My Charges?
The possibility of reducing or dismissing charges depends on several factors, including the strength of the evidence and any procedural errors that may have occurred. An experienced criminal defense team can scrutinize the details of your arrest and the evidence against you to identify weaknesses in the prosecution's case. Additionally, negotiating plea deals or entering diversion programs may be an option, depending on the nature and severity of the charges.
What Are the Common Penalties for DUI in Arizona?
Arizona is known for having stringent penalties for DUI offenses. First-time offenders may face fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, and even jail time. Aggravating factors, such as extremely high blood alcohol content or repeat offenses, can lead to more severe consequences, including extended jail sentences. Understanding the potential penalties and having robust legal representation is crucial in navigating the legal challenges and possibly reducing the impact on your life.
