Being arrested for driving under the influence in Mesa, AZ is a pretty big deal. Besides losing your driver’s license you will also be subject to heavy fines, jail time, and probation.

After being pulled over, you had to perform a variety of field sobriety tests. They might have included:
  • Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (eye twitch) test
  • Walk-and-turn test
  • One-leg-stand test
  • Heel-to-toe test
  • Finger-to-nose test
  • Alphabet recitation
  • Finger-to-thumb test.
Generally officers will use about three to six types of tests. If the officer believes that there is sufficient evidence of intoxication, he will administer a chemical test (such as blood, breath or urine) to determine your blood alcohol content (BAC) level.

If your BAC is at least .08, the officer can take your driver’s license and serve you with a notice of suspension, even before you go to court.

This is because of Arizona’s “Implied Consent/Admin Per Se” statute. This statute allows the immediate suspension and confiscation if your BAC test results are above the legal limit.

Because of this, you need to immediately contact our Mesa drunk driving law firm. The Law Offices of Edward A. Loss, III specialize in DUI defense cases. Feel free to give us a call at 623-931-6362 for a free case evaluation.

A DUI involves two separate proceedings: an administrative proceeding before the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles and a criminal proceeding on your DUI charges. It is imperative that you, or your attorney, request a hearing with the DMV within 15 days of your arrest. This request will “stay,” or postpone your license suspension until you can be heard by an administrative law judge.

You may be wondering if you can represent yourself during these DUI proceedings. You certainly can, but it is not a good idea. DUI law is a very complex field with harsh penalties.

So can you really afford not to hire the best DUI attorney in Mesa?

Mr. Loss is the top rated Arizona DUI lawyer, according to the AVVO rating. He has completed hundreds of hours of advanced DUI training.
