Defending Wrong-Way Driving the Right Way

WRONG-WAY DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE LAWYERS IN PHOENIX and Scottsdale, AZ

In 2020, the Arizona legislature added to the state’s felony DUI statute. Now, an Aggravated DUI can be committed, pursuant A.R.S. § 28-1383, when a person is driving the wrong way on a highway.


The statute has its flaws. The government has attempted to extend the definition of a highway to any street. However, the legislative history of the law plainly shows it was only intended to apply of situation on freeways.

DUI and traveling the wrong direction on a highway is the most recent addition to Arizona’s felony DUI laws.

Hiring an Experienced DUI/DWI Attorney

Arizona DUI law is extremely complicated and has severe consequences. DUI law is commonly referred to as a minefield. An attorney must be competent in the Arizona Rules of “Criminal” Procedure, the Arizona Rules of Evidence, the United States and Arizona Constitutions, and the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles Rules and Regulations.


An attorney cannot do anything for you unless he or she has extensive experience in these areas.  Police officers are only human and do commit legal errors.  However, only an experienced DUI attorney will be able to find these errors and use them to help his or her client.


You should choose an experienced DUI attorney for the same reason you should choose a qualified doctor. If you break your wrist, you go to a doctor that specializes in wrist injuries. When you are charged with a DUI, you should hire a qualified DUI attorney.


An experienced Arizona DUI attorney can analyze your case for legal errors and defenses. He or she can have blood samples independently analyzed, look for suppression issues, review calibration / COBRA records of breath machines, find the right expert witnesses for your trial, and assist you with your driver’s license issues.

What Real People Are Saying

That is, DUI cases actually dismissed. Verifiable not guilty verdicts. Blood alcohol evidence truly suppressed as witnessed by judges, other lawyers, and newspapers.

It was miracle!... A lot of people don't really understand the benefit of having an attorney who used to be a prosecutor. They know all the little tricks and scare tactics the state has as opposed to just hiring an attorney who is a little fish in a big pond."
