DUI/DWI

DUI/DWI Defense Lawyer: Tucson, Arizona

Bring your case to a leader in Arizona drunk driving defense.

For the past 20 years, as a DUI/DWI defense attorney I have served as co-host of the annual DUI defense seminar presented by the Arizona Attorneys for Criminal Justice, the criminal defense attorney organization in Arizona. I have spoken every year at the seminar, and presented strategies and techniques that are used by attorneys throughout the state. I have also spoken to judges on DUI issues at the Governor's Office of Highway Safety seminars, and numerous other seminars. Many of the DUI legal challenges I have pioneered have reshaped the law in Arizona.

For many people, a prosecution for DUI represents the single most serious encounter they will ever have with the criminal justice system. In addition to criminal consequences (including jail time) and the loss of your driving privileges, a DUI conviction can cripple current and future career and educational opportunities. Call Michael J. Bloom, PC and talk to me, drunk driving defense lawyer Michael Bloom, a leader in Arizona DUI defense matters.

As a DUI/DWI defense lawyer, I have successfully challenged RBT (roadside breath-testing) devices, resulting in THOUSANDS of breath tests being ruled inadmissible. I have also challenged on-standardized blood test procedures, non-scientific field sobriety tests and other government "science” used as evidence in DUI cases.

• First offense DUI/DWI: A conviction means 10 days in jail (nine of which can be suspended). If the charge is extreme DUI (where the alcohol concentration was .15 or more), the sentence is for 30 days in jail, or 45 days if the concentration exceeds .20.
• Subsequent DUI convictions: A second conviction within seven years means a minimum of 30 days in jail. A second extreme DUI within seven years requires a minimum 60 days in jail. Third offenses or any DUI committed with a suspended or revoked license is treated as a felony with mandatory imprisonment.
• The consequences: In addition to jail time and driver's license revocation or suspension, DUI convictions carry heavy fines, chemical dependency assessments, mandatory alcohol-education classes, increased insurance rates and a criminal record.
• The investigation: My law firm has pioneered the fight against dubious evidence based upon “government science.” I use trained investigators and recognized experts, who use “real science,” to establish your innocence.
• Negotiations and trial: I am a recognized leader in DUI defense in Arizona. I have gained the respect of prosecutors and judges by working diligently, within the bounds of the law, to successfully defend my clients. While I begin every case seeking a dismissal or acquittal, sometimes it is necessary to pursue a plea agreement. The respect that I have earned from prosecutors and judges enables me to obtain the possible results for my clients.

When the stakes are high, when your freedom and reputation are at risk, when you want a thoroughly experienced advocate representing you before the prosecutor, judge and jury, contact Michael J. Bloom, PC.
