Drunk Driving Overview
Skilled and Aggressive DUI Defense
Have you been charged with drunk driving in Arizona?
There was a time when throwing yourself on the mercy of the court might buy you some leniency. This is no longer true, overly zealous prosecutors want convictions, and in many Arizona counties there is no option to plead to a non-DUI offense. Judges take a hard line on sentencing, or their hands are tied by mandatory sentencing guidelines.

Scottsdale DUI lawyer Craig Rosenstein serves the Phoenix metro area and all communities of Maricopa, Pima and Pinal counties. We offer a free consultation, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Proven Representation for all Drunk Driving and Traffic Offenses
Whether this is your first DUI charge or you are facing a repeat offense, the Rosenstein Law Group works hard to exploit any weaknesses in the prosecution's case. When all you need is reasonable doubt, even the smallest details can make a difference. We can discuss strategies relating to:
- Extreme DUI — harsher penalties if your BAC is over .15
- "Super Extreme" DUI — a new law with massive penalties for BAC .20 or greater
- Aggravated DUI — enhanced penalties for a third offense in 7 years, an underage passenger, injury or property damage, or driving drunk on a suspended license
- Underage DUI — any alcohol in your system if under age 21
- Drug-related DUI — driving under the influence of illegal narcotics or even prescription medication prescribed by your own physician!
- License suspension: We also represent clients in the administrative hearing to keep their licenses or retain restricted driving privileges
- Ignition interlock violations — charges stemming from an alcohol sensor installed on your car from a prior DUI
- Hit-and-run and DUI-related offenses — leaving the scene of an accident, driving without a license or insurance, vehicular homicide
- Out-of-state drivers arrested for DUI in Arizona
We can also challenge any speeding ticket or traffic violation, especially when one more conviction will lead to license suspension by the Arizona MVD.
We Explain and Protect Your Rights
We realize that many clients have never been in criminal court before, and it can be frightening. Our attorneys take the time to explain our legal services, the legal process, and the potential consequences of a DUI conviction. We translate the legalese into plain English so clients can make informed decisions.
Mr. Rosenstein examines every facet of your case, employing aggressive DUI defense strategies to challenge the state's case.
A conviction for drunk driving in Arizona carries steep penalties, including mandatory jail time, loss of license, thousands of dollars in fines and fees, and future restrictions on driving. A DUI on your record can affect employment, college, military service and many other important facets of your life. Knowing your rights before a cop pulls you over is the best defense. If you have already been arrested, each day that passes reduces the opportunities to fight back and limit the consequences.
