What To Do If You’re Pulled Over For Drunk Driving In Mesa
Have Your License, Registration & Insurance Ready
Whenever you are pulled over, you should always know where your license, registration, and insurance is located. You will be asked for these items and if you cannot locate them, there can be consequences. This is especially important if you are being pulled over for drunk driving, as you are likely going to be flustered and anxious about what happens next.
Understand Your Right To Refuse Certain Tests
When pulled over for a DUI, you have the right to refuse certain tests such as field tests and other sobriety tests. Our lawyers will often recommend doing so as the field sobriety tests can be subjective and your refusal can aid you in court. You will likely be arrested, however you refuse the tests if the officer notices other erratic behavior such as the way you were driving.
Disclose Any Relevant Medical Conditions To The Officer
Before undergoing any of the tests law enforcement will have you do, you should let the officer know about any medical conditions that could impair your ability to complete the tests. In doing so, your inability to complete the test can be attributed to your medical condition and it will be noted on your police report. The police report will then be helpful for a defense strategy.
Politely Decline the Initial Breathalyzer Test
In Arizona, you have the right to refuse a breathalyzer test on the field without being punished in court. The initial breathalyzer test is not always accurate and you can acquire a test from a private company to help build a solid defense. However, if you choose to do so, you will immediately have your license revoked and you will likely be arrested on the spot.

From there, you can reach out to our lawyers at My AZ Lawyers and we will determine the best course of action for your case.

Proven DUI Defense Strategies In Mesa
Challenging Lack Of Probable Cause
Law enforcement must have probable cause in order to pull you over and arrest you. If it can be proven that law enforcement did not have probable cause to pull you over or arrest you, the evidence that was acquired because of the arrest could be dismissed!
Addressing Miranda Rights Violations
Upon arrest, it is your right to remain silent and an officer should inform you of this. If your Miranda rights were violated, let our lawyers know and we can work to find the evidence necessary to build a strong defense for your case.
Disputing Inaccurate Breath Test Results
Breath tests are not always 100% accurate and if there is evidence to dispute the breath tests, our lawyers can make a strong defense in your favor. Let our lawyers ensure you’re not unjustly charged by looking into the inaccurate breath test defense.
Plea Deal Negotiation
Plea deal negotiations can be hugely advantageous if you will likely be convicted of a DUI. Our lawyers are skilled at seeing the best option for a deal and coaching you in pleading guilty so that you can have reduced charges and/or penalties.
