At the Law Offices of Douglas A. Schwab, we take pride in providing an aggressive and thorough defense to the criminally accused in Arizona. Our Phoenix criminal attorneys are former prosecutors with over twenty years of combined trial experience.

At the Law Offices of Douglas A. Schwab, your case will be personally handled by one of the partners, not shuffled around from new associate to legal assistant. When defending serious Arizona criminal charges, communication with your attorney is critical. When a client calls the firm with a question or concern, their actual attorney calls them back...every time...not a secretary or assistant.
Arizona's tough new DUI laws have increased the mandatory penalties if convicted. The average citizen with no criminal history or history of bad driving may be facing from one to forty-five days in the county jail, thousands of dollars in fines and fees and Motor Vehicle Division consequences. In addition to the DUI criminal case, the MVD may take action against your driver's license. MVD action ranges from three to twelve month drivers license suspensions, to high risk insurance (SR-22) and twelve to eighteen months of driving with an ignition interlock device in your vehicle.
Although these strict penalties were originally intended to deter impaired driving, overzealous enforcement and prosecution too often leads to an emphasis on quantity of arrests over quality of investigations. A fair investigation into an alleged DUI offense should include a valid reason and probable cause for the traffic stop and arrest, properly administered field sobriety tests, strict adherence to the constitutional safeguards afforded to every citizen and accurate blood or breath testing by a qualified analyst.

Testimonials Arizona DUI
"We are truly thankful for the excellence, care and guidance you brought to this matter. From the first interview through the triumphant result we were in capable hands. You were the vehicle through which our son received an immeasurable blessing." --K.
"Doug, I can't thank you enough! You made a scary situation as comfortable as it could be and with a fantastic outcome!" --Gratefully, A.
"I would highly recommend Doug Schwab if you are seeking representation. I hired Doug as my attorney in my DUI case. I am so grateful that I made that decision. People may say that it is unnecessary to hire an attorney for a DUI. And that may be true with some attorneys—because they hired the wrong one. I am fortunate that Doug was referred to me. Being faced with legal ramifications, financial obligations, and MVD suspensions, it is overwhelming. Doug handled everything and was able to obtain a much better outcome. I take responsibility for creating this situation, and there are going to be consequences. However, I had my charges reduced to driving while slightly impaired from an extreme. My jail time was reduced to 48 hours, with no house arrest. And my interlock was reduced to 6 months from a year with probation eliminated. Doug Schwab cares about the outcome without judgment and takes pride in what he accomplishes. He was available until everything was resolved. I will not be in this situation again, but if someone is, I highly recommend Doug Schwab as your attorney." K.
