The Law Offices of Scott David Stewart
Phoenix Drug Possession Defense Lawyers
Drivers who test positive for illegal drugs are subject to drug DUI charges in the state of Arizona. Even if you were not driving in an erratic manner or guilty of a traffic violation, the presence of illegal drugs in your system is enough to charge you with a crime. At the Law Offices of Scott David Stewart our criminal defense attorneys have the legal and forensic tools required to challenge drug DUI charges. We work with expert witnesses who challenge the prosecution on issues involving the accuracy and reliability of blood and urine tests, how they were administered, and whether mistakes were made in the lab. As DUI defense attorneys, we’re also skilled negotiators who know how to work with the court when a plea arrangement is in the best interests of our client.
Don’t be discouraged, we can help. To schedule a free, confidential consultation, contact a Phoenix drug possession defense lawyer at the Law Offices of Scott David Stewart today. We represent clients throughout Maricopa County, including Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, Glendale, Peoria, Surprise, Buckeye, Sun City, Paradise Valley, Chandler, and Goodyear.
Challenging the Charges Against You
In drug DUI cases it’s important to know why officers pulled you over in the first place. If you were driving unimpaired and were obeying the law, why were you pulled over? Secondly, if you were given a blood or urine test, what were the reasons for it? If you were not using drugs while driving and no drugs or drug paraphernalia was found in your car, why were you asked to take a test? If you were pulled over on suspicion of DUI and were given a test to determine blood alcohol level, were test samples treated appropriately and preserved for independent testing?
As your drug DUI defense attorneys we meticulously review how police conducted themselves, how they collected and treated blood and urine samples, and whether these tests are accurate indicators of driving impairment. Where drugs are found in your car, we challenge the search of your vehicle and identify failures in proper procedure. If an illegal search and seizure or arrest without probable cause contributed to your drug DUI charge, we will demand that the charges be dismissed immediately.
Achieving Results for Our Clients
While we can’t guarantee to have the charges against you dropped or reduced, our office is committed to achieving the best possible results for our clients. As a former Maricopa County prosecutor, Scott David Stewart understands how to negotiate and work with the court and the prosecution in seeking sentence reductions or reduction in charges for his clients.
