ARRESTED FOR Regular DUI IN CHANDLER Arizona?

Chandler Municipal Court: Protecting Your Career

If you were arrested in Chandler, your case belongs to the Chandler Municipal Court in the historic downtown district. This jurisdiction handles a high volume of cases from the "Tech Corridor." Many of our clients here are engineers, project managers, or security clearance holders who cannot afford a criminal record. The prosecutors in Chandler are tough, but they respect a well-prepared defense. We know how to structure plea negotiations that prioritize keeping your record clean and protecting your security clearance.

The "Downtown Chandler" Sleeping Defense

A common scenario in Chandler involves people doing the responsible thing: sleeping in their car near the San Tan Brewery or Overstreet rather than driving home. Chandler PD often charges this as "Actual Physical Control" (APC). We aggressively argue the "Shelter Rule" defense. If the engine was off and you were clearly using the vehicle as a stationary shelter, you are not a criminal. You are a responsible citizen, and we will fight to make the jury see that.

Freeway Stops (101 & 202)

Chandler is framed by the Price (101) and San Tan (202) freeways. DPS and Chandler PD often patrol these corridors looking for "weaving" within a lane. We analyze the dashcam footage. Was it actually weaving, or was it a natural adjustment to wind or road curvature? If the officer lacked Reasonable Suspicion for the stop, the entire case (and the BAC results) gets thrown out.

The 15-Day MVD Clock

You have exactly 15 days from the night of your arrest to save your driving privileges. If we do not file a hearing request, your license goes into automatic suspension. We handle this administrative filing for you immediately so you can keep driving to work.
