Choosing a Defense Attorney for Your DUI Case: What Can You Expect From Attorney Sloan?

Interviewer: Can you explain what the process is when a potential client calls your office? What is someone going to experience when they contact you that is unique about your practice and specific to you rather than another defense attorney?

Look for an Attorney Who Can Devote Time Answering Any of Your Questions Before Your Free Consultation

Brian Sloan: When someone calls me, I talk to them on the phone. I answer any and all questions that they might have. I invite them to my office for a free in-depth consultation. I do tend to go quite in-depth on what I see in the case, what happened in the case, provide information on the motor vehicle division and the fact that their license is very likely to be suspended under suspicion of DUI.

Attorney Sloan Offers a Complimentary In-Depth Consultation

Although I ask people to come down to my office, I spend about an hour to an hour and a half talking with them. It’s really a no pressure situation. I’m not going to force them to enter into a contract with me. I’m not going to force them to give me money. I want to talk to people, and I really want them to understand what they’re facing, what issues there may be in their case, what the penalties potentially could be, and what their options are. I do want to help people.

Avoid Pressure Tactics to Sign a Contract

When they leave here, I would say probably half the people are just not sure. They’re not ready. They don’t know where the finances are going to come from. Many people are impressed with what I have to say. They are impressed with me generally and if they want, then I can print up a contract, and they can enter into it right then and there.

Attorney Sloan Understands That Choosing an Attorney Shouldn’t Become a Hasty Decision

If they want to think about it, they need to consult with family members I’m happy to give them a copy of a contract, and they can take it home. I don’t need to pester people. I know that I’m good at what I do, and I know that if they need a private attorney for a DUI case that they will want to come back for me.

What I offer them is not only this free in-depth consultation on the DUI-related charge as well as the motor vehicle division, but I offer a very reasonable payment plan. I offer a contract that breaks down my representation into phases, which makes it a lot easier for my clients to afford experienced representation.

Knowing What You Are Paying For to Defend Your DUI: Attorney Sloan Offers a Comprehensive Fee Breakdown

Interviewer: So let’s say your representation would be X amount, then, if you have to go to trial that’s another X; you break it down depending on what you have to do in a case?

Brian Sloan: They are flat fees, but I try to make it easier so that I’m not having to refund money because I charge too much. I used to charge a flat rate of several thousand dollars, but what I was finding is that I did not do enough work to substantiate taking that much money and I’d end up refunding my client’s money.

Can You Afford a DUI Attorney? Attorney Sloan Stands Behind Charging a Reasonable Fee

I decided, “Let me try something new,” and I think I’m the only attorney that does this. I break up my fees in a certain way so that a person knows what they’re getting into, there are no hidden fees, and they’re not overpaying me. They’re getting experienced representation at an affordable rate and it’s up to them how much they want to pay and if they want to go forward.

My clients are very happy with this arrangement, and quite honestly, I’ve taken cases where there are other attorneys out there with half the knowledge that I have charging two or three times as much, and people are surprised at how reasonable my fees are.

Interviewer: Have you received good feedback on this fee breakdown so far?

Brian Sloan: Definitely. I’ve only been doing it for about four months and people are very happy. They come to me saying, “I thought you were going to charge me $5,000.” And a lot of clients only end up paying me about $1,500.

If they’re charged with a misdemeanor, probably about half of my clients will only ever pay is $1,500. They receive full representation from me, short of doing interviews and filing motions and going to trial and they’re very happy with what they paid and the end result. Often I’m able to get them a very beneficial plea agreement that they’re very satisfied with, and they know that they did not pay two to three times as much to another attorney and ended up with a less favorable outcome.

“I am one of only a handful of Phoenix DUI Lawyers that focuses solely on DUI Defense representation.”

I have spent my entire career SOLELY focused on Arizona DUI Defense Representation, having personally defended more than 4,400 Driving Under the Influence (DUI) clients in the past 19+ years.

If you’re looking for a Divorce Attorney, Tax Attorney, Civil Attorney, etc., I can comfortably say, "I’m not the one for you." I ONLY defend DUI cases in most of Maricopa County, Arizona.

Coming up with traditional, as well as outside-the-box motions and defenses for my clients, often with good results, is the hallmark of my practice.

Lawyers that say they are "aggressive" or "will fight for you" are a dime a dozen. They use these phrases because it is a proven advertising phrase. Being "aggressive" isn’t the same as being good, and is often used to put on a show to hide the fact that they aren’t doing anything meaningful for the client.

The same is true for the Lawyers claiming to do DUI Defense, and Criminal Cases, and Accident Cases, and Divorces, etc. A Jack-of-all-Trades is a master of none! By handling all sorts of cases, they take away from their ability to truly focus on DUIs, and keep up-to-date on the latest changes in DUI Defense Representation.

What I offer is intelligent, quality DUI Defense at an exceptional price. Unlike many other law firms, if you hire The Law Offices of Brian D. Sloan, you actually get me representing you, doing all the work, and working the case. You aren’t hiring one guy with all the experience, but getting the underling with very little knowledge or experience.

I work seven days a week on my client’s cases, and spend hours laying all my thoughts out for my clients in writing, so they can understand their options, and my recommendations. No other DUI Lawyer in the state does this. I try to do what I can to go above-and-beyond for my clients. I hate when the businesses I deal with nickel-and-dime me with hidden costs, and I take pride in not doing that to my clients.

I have not only taught other lawyers how to do DUI Defense Representation at statewide seminars, but I have produced DUI Legal Guides used by defense lawyers across Arizona.

I am one of Arizona's most award-winning DUI Defense Lawyers, as well as being recognized nationally. I was the only DUI Defense Lawyer in the United States named a "Power Lawyer" in a 2022 issue of USA Today

There are no other private Lawyers in Arizona that have personally defended more DUI cases than I have. And as a bonus, I offer a very reasonable flat rate for my legal services, with a payment plan, and without any hidden charges. This guarantees that I offer some of the most competitive rates among all Arizona DUI Attorneys, while being a well-documented and preeminent leader in the field of DUI Defense Representation.

Over the years, countless people have come to me after discovering that their first lawyer made a mistake, gave them false hope or false promises, or simply took their money and didn't do much to advance their case. And you would be surprised at how often this happens.

So, instead of wasting time and money on the wrong DUI Defense Attorney, do yourself a favor and get the proven and well-recognized best DUI Lawyer in Phoenix and the surrounding areas of Maricopa County.

You can reach me on my personal cell phone at 480-720-7839 for a Free ‘In Depth’ Consultation.

I personally defend DUI cases in urban Maricopa County City, Town, and Justice Courts, including:

Ahwatukee / Agua Fria / Arcadia Biltmore / Avondale / Buckeye / Chandler / Country Meadows / Desert Ridge / Dreamy Draw / Downtown / East Mesa / El Centro / Encanto / Gilbert / Glendale / Goodyear / Guadalupe / Highland / Kyrene / Litchfield Park / Maryvale / McDowell Mountain / Mesa / Moon Valley / North Mesa / Peoria / Phoenix / Queen Creek / San Marcos / San Tan / South Mountain / Scottsdale / Tempe / University Lakes / West McDowell / West Mesa / White Tank

For any other Courts in the State of Arizona, including Felony cases, I would recommend my associates on The Arizona DUI Team, whom I work closely with, but I am not the one personally representing the client.
