Frequently Asked Questions
Proven, Powerful and Aggressive Phoenix DUI Defense Lawyer
Will I go to jail for a DUI charge?
Each case has its own particular circumstances and evidence. In some cases, the prosecutor will be seeking jail time, and will be intent on having this as part of the penalty. In these cases, it is crucial that you contact a Phoenix DUI defense lawyer that knows how to fight hard in court. Even a first DUI conviction usually includes jail time if you do not get the assistance of a powerful DUI defense lawyer from the Law Office of James Novak to fight on your behalf.
Is it possible to avoid a conviction?
When one is seeking to avoid a conviction, the first most critical action is to contact Attorney James Novak to discuss your case and determine what defense strategy could be employed on your behalf. Every case can be defended, and Attorney Novak will relentlessly defend your constitutional rights and challenge evidence against you to fight for your freedom. With a creative, motivated and experienced defense initiated on your behalf, you greatly increase the possibility of avoiding conviction on the charge.
Do I need an attorney to avoid conviction?
Unfortunately, in most cases this is likely. Most individuals that have been arrested and charged with DUI do not have the experience in fighting a criminal charge to represent themselves in court and hope to avoid conviction. Even in cases in which you are innocent of the charge, you will still have to prove this in court. Attorney James Novak is prepared to aggressively defend you, and it is strongly advised that you have proven and powerful legal representation from Mr. Novak if you have been charged with any DUI offense in Phoenix.
Is a DUI defense expensive?
If you go to a large defense law firm, or to an out-of-state firm that practices in Arizona, you will likely be paying “top dollar” as the overhead for these firms is extremely high, and in order to pay all the personnel they must charge each client more. However, at Law Office of James Novak, you get top quality, experienced legal representation that is much more affordable, as Mr. Novak has a solo practice. Not only do you get the full attention of the attorney on your case, you also get one of the most highly educated and experienced criminal defense lawyers in the state fighting for you. In a strictly financial evaluation, a DUI conviction is extremely expensive when you consider the cost of the fines, loss of ability to drive through a suspended license, increase in insurance premiums and other costs, as well as yearly fees in some cases; you have to judge the hidden monetary costs of conviction when considering engaging an attorney to fight for your defense.
What happens if I have an earlier DUI conviction?
This is a situation that is serious and may have a severe impact on your life if you are convicted. It is well worth considering fighting to defend yourself if you have already been convicted of a DUI. The suspended license will last longer, the fines will be higher and it is likely that you will spend time in jail as well as attend a court ordered alcohol treatment program. You may also be required to have an Ignition Interlock Device installed (at your own expense) on every vehicle you drive. Take advantage of the years of successful experience of Attorney James Novak and defend your DUI charge.
