Top best Dui & Dwi Lawyers in Tucson | 20 available

Since being admitted to the Arizona State Bar and the California State Bar in 2003, I have dedicated my entire legal career to the field of criminal defense and DUIs. I have participated in numerous legal seminars around the country specializing in the defense of accused impaired drivers.  I am trained in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration DUI detection, as well as the standardized Field Sobriety tests and the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test.  I strive to provide quality legal representation and at the same time provide clients with the peace of mind knowing that they have a lawyer on their side.

Since admission to practice law, I have always been committed to defending the rights of the accused. This commitment began while I was serving as deputy defender in Mohave County. I then relocated to Flagstaff to focus on cases throughout the northern Arizona counties. Several years and snowstorms later I decided to give it a go in the warmer climate of southern Arizona. I am proud to call Tucson my home and I enjoy working with the people of southern Arizona.. I have extensive jury trial experience and have acquittals both felony, and misdemeanor courts throughout Arizona. I have specialized training in field sobriety test and the horizontal gaze nystagmus. I believe one of the most important rights the accused has is the right to trial. It is at trial that the state is held to the highest standard guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Before anyone decides to give up this precious right, they need to be fully advised. In many cases, proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is difficult for the prosecution.

Attorney Alec Hanus is a Tucson Criminal Defense Attorney dedicated to helping people solve their legal problems. Mr. Hanus is a former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney who will personally speak with you during a free initial consultation and offer you a realistic evaluation of your case

As a former state and federal prosecutor, I understand how the other side thinks and works. I also understand the difficult situation you're in if you've been charged with a crime. I'm here to help you get out of that difficult situation with minimal negative consequences. I believe that justice can only be consistently achieved if the accused has representation that is at least on par with, if not superior to the accuser. I am certified by the State Bar of Arizona as a specialist in criminal law and I have extensive trial experience (well over 100 jury trials), but I am constantly working to improve.. I grew up in Tucson and graduated from the University of Arizona College of Law in 1997. I then clerked for a Pima County Superior Court Judge and subsequently joined the Pima County Attorney's Office as a Deputy County Attorney. As a Deputy County Attorney, I prosecuted a wide range of cases, including DUI, narcotics offenses, property crimes, violent felonies, and homicides.. After four years at the Pima County Attorney’s Office, I spent three years at the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona.  As an Assistant U.S. Attorney, I prosecuted a variety of crimes, primarily related to drug trafficking, alien smuggling, and child pornography.  I also spent nearly two years in the appellate unit, writing numerous appellate briefs on behalf of the government and arguing them in front of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.. In 2005, I left the United States Attorney's Office to start the law firm of Leonardo & Roach, LLC, where I focused on criminal defense and personal injury cases. In 2009, I founded Leonardo Law Offices, PLLC in an effort to provide a greater degree of service and personal attention to my client's and their cases.. Although I can't guarantee any particular result (no honest attorney can), I always work hard for my clients to get them the best outcome. I charge a reasonable flat fee in DUI and criminal cases so there are no hidden costs. I can often offer some flexibility with a limited payment plan if necessary.. When I started in private practice, I found that my experience building cases as a prosecutor translated nicely into the area of personal injury law. Just as a criminal defendant faces the power and unlimited resources of the government, an injury victim must contend with a large, well-funded insurance company and its high-priced attorneys. I enjoy being the underdog and I like to think that I can help level the playing field in these situations. In accident/injury cases, I work on a contingency fee basis so you don't pay anything up front. The fee is taken out of any settlement or award if and when we win the case.. If you're a good person who's found yourself in a bad situation -- whether you've been charged with a crime or injured as a result of someone else's negligence -- give me a call.

After working for firms and handling numerous cases, I realized that one of the most important things to clients is having an attorney who understands their case from start to finish. When one hires a firm they often never hear from the attorney they originally spoke with again because that attorney only is in charge of intake. The person may not even have the opportunity to speak with their attorney about their individual case before making a payment and instead, their consultation might be referred to a case manager following a script, who may or may not be an attorney. Other times a person's case is transferred to various attorneys within the firm who may or may not know the details of the case. This can sometimes cause confusion with expectations, desired outcomes, probability of success, or frustration with the need to continuously repeat information or provide documents.. It is largely for this reason that I decided to start my own practice. When you hire me you can rest assured that I will be your attorney from start to finish. Your free initial consultation will address your goals and expectations from the start so you can decide whether to proceed with my representation. Thereafter, you can be assured that I will remain a part of your case until the end and will be in direct communication with you.. Since being admitted to the California Bar in 2010 and the Arizona Bar in 2014 I have focused almost entirely on criminal law.  Arizona has some of the harshest laws and penalties in the country for common crimes such as DUI/DWI, and it is my goal to ensure that your rights are nonetheless protected. You may have a defense on constitutional grounds such as an unreasonable search of your vehicle, invalid stop, or violation of your rights to remain silent and obtain counsel. The law is consistently changing and I am focused on coming up with the best strategies to protect your constitutional rights.. If you are charged with a crime, give me a call and find out how I can assist you.
