The Arizona DUI Handbook


Book Description

The Arizona DUI Handbook provides the tools to begin asserting constitutionally protected rights in preparation for criminal court proceedings. Drivers accused of DUI are sometimes convinced they have no hope of winning their case. They give up without a fight. They never present an adequate defense. They accept plea agreements when they could have won at trial. They hire inexperienced lawyers at a reduced rate believing they're going to lose regardless. Many people attempt to save money by not hiring a lawyer, which is worse. They do not know their rights. They do not understand where and when those rights apply. And because they do not aggressively assert their rights, the results are often unfair, unjust, and sadly permanent. This book provides the essentials of Arizona DUI defense.
