Dismissing your DUI case in Deer Valley, Arizona without a reason would be against the law. In Arizona DUI laws, a prosecutor could not dismiss DUI charges unless there are insufficient legal or factual grounds to pursue the charge. The general rule is that a prosecutor will not plea bargain a case from DUI to reckless driving or another less serious charge unless the prosecutor thinks he/she is not going to win and probably even with the fact that he/she is an incompetent prosecutor is not a good reason for predicted defeat.

Let me tell you bluntly that without a DUI attorney to represent you, a prosecutor has virtually no chance of losing to you at your DUI trial. Therefore, there is a slim chance that they will plea bargain your case down below a DUI charge. But if you have a DUI attorney who would make the prosecutor’s life a living hell by demanding every relevant shred of evidence and who would make it more costly to the prosecutor to fight for a victory than to make a rational and reasonable compromise, then you would have a real chance of being offered a favorable plea bargain for your DUI case.
