In his 30-year career, AV-rated* Phoenix DUI defense lawyer Mark Weingart has served as a prosecutor, judge, and defense attorney in drunk driving cases. He is a founding member of the National College of DUI Defense as well as a nationally recognized authority on DUI defense techniques. He is also Board Certified in criminal law by the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization. Mark Weingart and his associates can help you avoid the severe consequences of a conviction under Arizona's harsh drunk driving laws.

Even for a first time offense at a blood alcohol level of .08 percent, a DUI arrest can carry serious penalties, including mandatory jail time, an automatic license suspension, and a hefty fine. Conviction on a DUI charge also counts as an 8-point moving violation against your driver's license, and your auto insurance premiums will increase accordingly.

For extreme DUI with elevated blood alcohol content of .15 percent and up, a charge of aggravated DUI, or any repeat DUI offense within seven years, the penalties get significantly worse. You'll need an experienced DUI defense attorney to answer your questions, investigate the circumstances of your case, and go to work to protect your driver's license and your driving record.

Our experience and focus on DUI defense can represent a significant advantage to you in defeating an Arizona drunk driving charge on the facts, on constitutional grounds, or on collateral attack. If you contact us soon enough, we can request a DMV hearing to obtain a restricted license (DUI "work permit") and avoid the immediate effect of the automatic suspension. We will make a careful examination of the circumstances of your arrest, the police reports, the lab reports, and any field sobriety tests to spot the weaknesses in the prosecution's case.

With more than 500 jury trials to his credit, Arizona DUI defense attorney Mark Weingart has the knowledge and experience necessary to present the most persuasive defense possible under the facts in your case. Contact the Weingart Law Firm in Tempe for a free consultation about your DUI charges.
