Criminal Defense Lawyer ◦ Scottsdale, Arizona

Contact Bergman Law Offices, PLLC, to schedule a free initial consultation on your Arizona criminal law matter, including the following:

Drug Crimes: Did law enforcement have probable cause for stopping your vehicle or entering your home and initiating a search and seizure operation? Were your constitutional rights upheld throughout the search and seizure? Were you improperly entrapped through shady undercover buys? Does the prosecution have ample evidence to prove that you are guilty of transporting or selling a controlled substance?

DUI: The amount of alcohol consumed and how that is measured by police are often in question in a DUI case. In Arizona, any DUI conviction now carries a minimum one-year mandatory installation of an interlock device on your vehicle.

Aggravated DUI: You may find yourself charged with aggravated DUI in Arizona if your blood alcohol was measured at 0.08 or higher, and any of the following factors apply in your case:

• You have had two or more prior DUIs within a seven-year period
• You were driving despite the fact that your driver's license had been suspended, canceled or revoked
• You were driving with a child (younger than 15) in your vehicle

Extreme DUI and Super Extreme DUI: You may have been charged with an "Extreme DUI" in Arizona if your high blood alcohol content (BAC) exceeded 0.150 or a “Super Extreme DUI” if your BAC exceeded 0.200. If this is the case, you may be facing some stiff penalties, including up to 45 days in jail. Do yourself a favor, contact Bergman Law Offices, PLLC immediately.

Manslaughter: Whether you made a bad mistake or were unfairly charged because of an unfortunate combination of circumstances that you became entangled in, it is essential that you have a defense lawyer whom you can trust on your side. Level the playing field between yourself and the prosecution.

Assault / Aggravated Assault: A successful outcome in your Arizona assault case may mean a reduction or downscaling in your assault charges — for example, to disorderly conduct — and an agreement that you will participate in anger management therapy.

Domestic Violence: Charges of domestic violence are often the result of family feuds or lovers' quarrels that get out of hand. Angers flare, one thing leads to another, and someone decides to call the police. Once law enforcement officers are on the scene, they will most likely want to arrest someone. Even if the complaining witness reneges or changes the story, it is most likely too late. The domestic violence case has now become a charge of the state against the alleged offender, rather than a dispute between family members or domestic partners.

Traffic Violations: traffic tickets can put points on a driver's license and result in increased automobile insurance rates.
