Beware: Any law firm or Attorney can have DM Cantor’s Criminal Law Practice Phoenix DUI/Vehicular Crime Attorney website information rewritten by Artificial Intelligence (AI), and then they can post it online as their own “knowledge base.” But, they cannot falsely list our Jury Trial Complete Acquittals, or our Board Certifications, as their own. Also, many attorneys claim that they “specialize” in criminal defense, but only a “Board-Certified Criminal Law Specialist” is allowed by the State Bar of Arizona to use this title as their own, per the Arizona Board of Legal Specialization.

Holiday DUI Task Force

Arizona is famous for their Holiday DUI Task Force. Every year, the Police get together from multiple jurisdictions to do what is known as the East and West Valley Holiday DUI Task Force. They saturate the cities’ (especially Scottsdale and Tempe) with DUI patrols during certain timeframes. This is when the highest percentage of DUI arrests occur in Arizona.

If you’ve been pulled over for a DUI, it’s important you remember these “Do’s and Don’ts” and follow them exactly:

DO: Stop promptly and safely, and courteously provide all requested paperwork and identifying information, and get out of your vehicle if requested.

DON’T: Answer any other questions, do any Field Sobriety Tests, or blow into any Portable Breath Test they may offer you out on the street.

DO: Ask to call an Attorney after refusing all Field Sobriety Tests, etc.

DON’T: Talk during the transport to the Police Station, or in the station, except to repeat your request to call your Attorney.

DO: Call DM Cantor Criminal Law Practice at 602-307-0808, and you will be connected with one of our Attorneys (even if it’s 4 in the morning). Also, follow our instructions completely. The first thing we will ask you to do is request a “private call” from the Officer, so we can give you adequate information. If the Officer does not give you a private phone call, this can result in an automatic Dismissal of your case.

DON’T: Tell the Officer that they “blew it” by not giving you a private phone call. In fact, don’t tell them anything that we have discussed with you, unless we have specifically instructed you to do so.

DO: On most First Offense DUI’s, we will tell you to say to the Officer “I will not answer any questions, I will consent to the blood or breath test, and I request to be released as soon as possible to get an Independent Blood Test at a hospital.” Our advice can change if you have a prior DUI conviction, or your license is currently suspended.

DO: Come see DM Cantor’s Criminal Law Practice the next day (even if it’s a Saturday or Sunday, we have appointments that are available.)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Nick Boca and Robyn McCraw. I felt I was in the best of hands from the beginning. They were clear and upfront at all times with their communication and instruction. Any divorce is a difficult time, and Nick and Robyn understand that. Their compassion for my situation and professionalism in how they handled my case stood out the most. I would highly recommend their services to anyone going through a difficult divorce.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cantor Law Group came as a recommendation from a family friend, and I am so grateful that this led me to speak with Nicholas Boca. Nik represented me in a complicated divorce which detailed a substantial claim of waste that spanned my 25-year marriage. He was very straightforward and honest and worked purposefully on my behalf at all times. He was empathetic to my situation and found ways to navigate difficult challenges unique to my case. Perhaps most importantly, he understood the importance of bringing closure to my situation and did his best to avoid unnecessary legal expenses. His methods to find resolution required wisdom and experienced practice of law.

My heartfelt gratitude also extends to Robyn and Amanda. This was a team effort. Amanda’s knowledge of law, Robyn’s organizational skills and instinctive nature were invaluable. My “team” at Cantor Law Group cared. My case mattered, I mattered, my family mattered.  From the front desk to the billing department, everyone handled my inquiries and needs without delay. Each person I interacted with seemed to know me personally and I felt reassured they were all working together to achieve the best possible outcome.

Cantor Law Group has an excellent reputation amongst the experts. It was extremely reassuring knowing that the work ethic and professionalism of Cantor Law Group is respected by both the experts and the court.

I would HIGHLY recommend Cantor Law group.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All the attorneys are exceptional and they all work collaboratively on your case. While I worked closely with David, the other attorney's where always up to date and provided unparalleled guidance. Bottom line, they are a cut above and they deliver. You get what you pay for. If it matters, talk to DM Cantor.
