A DUI Conviction: Is It Possible to Avoid a Jail Sentence?

Interviewer: I’m sure people will also say to you, is there any way I can avoid jail? Are there any alternatives? Can you keep me out of jail? Can you do that? Or, do people who are convicted have to spend at least some time in jail?

Brian: Really, the only way of keeping someone out of jail is to be able to get a reckless driving, or to get a not guilty verdict, or to get the case dismissed. Under every DUI law you have to do at least one day in jail. Now I have been successful in Scottsdale, where in reality, legally, they shouldn’t be able to do it, but somehow I’ve been able to work out an arrangement for my clients, so that the time that they spend with officers being investigated for DUI counts as the one day in jail.

I don’t think too many attorneys are aware of this, but it’s something that in my experience I’ve been able to figure out. Scottsdale may be one of the few places where a person can be convicted of DUI and not have to spend any days in jail based on the short amount of time that they have spent with the officer undergoing the DUI investigation. Really it’s not legally appropriate, but I’ve been able to get it done.

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

I have spent my entire career focused on Arizona DUI Defense representation, having personally defended over 4,200+ DUI clients in the past 19+ years.

If you’re looking for a divorce attorney, tax attorney, or civil attorney, I can comfortably say, "I’m not the one for you."

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 they think people want to hear them. 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, Criminal Cases, Accident Cases, and Divorces. 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 Phoenix DUI Defense Representation.

What I offer is intelligent, quality DUI Defense at an exceptional price.

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

I am one of Arizona's most award-winning DUI Defense Lawyers, recognized nationally, including in a 2022 issue of USA Today.

There are no other private DUI Defense Lawyers in Arizona that have personally defended more DUI cases than I have. And as a bonus, I offer a flat rate for my legal services without any hidden charges. This guarantees that I offer some of the most competitive rates among all Arizona DUI Attorneys, while being the 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 documented best DUI Lawyer in Phoenix and the surrounding areas of Maricopa County.
