Frequently Asked Questions: Criminal Defense in Prescott

Criminal Defense FAQ

Should I plead guilty to a DUI?

Many individuals plead guilty to a DUI offense, simply because they are unaware that it may be possible to seek a "not guilty" verdict. There are frequently errors in the testing administered at the scene or other flaw in the case that can lead to having the charges against you dismissed. Don't proceed into court for any hearing without first contacting a Prescott criminal defense attorney from Dwane Cates Law Group, PLLC to review your case.

What if I am innocent?

Being innocent is not enough - if you have been arrested, the prosecutor believes that there is enough evidence to convict you.
