Tucson AZ DUI attorney

A lot of the time one of the worries you have when you find yourself facing a DUI conviction is that you won’t be able to afford a lawyer. It’s a reasonable fear, considering how expensive lawyers tend to be, but I have something which may assauge a little bit of that fear for a lot of people. Although this does not apply to every single DUI case, if you are facing a felony DUI conviction, and often times even when you are facing a misdemeanor DUI conviction, the law requires that you be provided with a Tucson AZ DUI attorney.

I know what you’re thinking. Probably something along the lines of, “well, that’s as good as having no lawyer at all”. People seem to think that public lawyers are the dumbest of the dumb, probably because of some kind of inherent distrust of government beauracracy. However, in this case you are often proved wrong. While not every public defender is a brilliant attorney, most of them are very good at what they do, and on top of that they generally have more years of experience and experience working both as private and public lawyers.

In fact, sometimes it’s hard to distinguish between private and public lawyers at all because many lawyers run on both sides of the tracks. Some may work for the government, and also increase their take home pay by taking their own private clients.
