Beware: Any law firm or Attorney can have DM Cantor’s 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.
As of the start of 2025, the State Bar of Arizona Board of Legal Specialization listed only 62 Criminal Law Specialists in the entire State. Of these 62, only 41 are located in Maricopa County and are allowed to handle private cases. DM Cantor has 2 Board-Certified Criminal Law Specialists, no other law firm in Arizona has more. When defending DUI/Vehicular Crimes Allegations, it is critical to have as many Board-Certified Criminal Law Specialists on your Legal Team as is possible.
The Specialization process is so rigorous that only 34 current Criminal Law Specialists were Certified since the turn of the Century! In addition, all Specialists must be approved for Re-Certification every 5 years. At DM Cantor, our 2 Board Certified Criminal Law Specialists have conducted Jury Trials on countless DUI/Vehicular Crimes cases.
Every Major Felony DUI/Vehicular Crimes case defended by DM Cantor includes at least 1 Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist on the legal team who is directly handling or supervising the Defense.
We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Beware: Be very cautious of visiting with a Criminal Law Firm who has you meet with a Non-Attorney Salesperson, rather than a Licensed Attorney. They will then try to sell their “legal services,” even though they are not allowed by the State Bar of Arizona to give legal advice. DM Cantor always has you meet with one of the Partners and Certified Criminal Law Specialists in our office when consulting us regarding a DUI/Vehicular Crimes charge.
If you are pulled over and Officer asks you “have you been drinking,” then this is the beginning of the official DUI investigation. You should be polite and courteous and provide your driver’s license, registration, and insurance. However, once questions regarding drinking have been asked, you should state that “I am not going to answer any questions or do any tests until I consult with my lawyer.” This is a much better answer than how much you actually had to drink, lying, and stating you had nothing to drink. Yes, they most like will arrest you and take you down to the station, but they were going to do that anyway.
Next, also Refuse any Field Sobriety Tests once they get you to step out of the car. They will try to put a pen or a light in front of your eyes and they will ask you to “follow it.” This is what’s known as the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test. Do not do it! After you refuse Field Sobriety Tests they will then ask you to blow into a Portable Breath Test. Again, Refuse. When both of these things happen, you need to say, “Officer, if I am not free to go, then I need to call my lawyer.” Once they take you to the station, you will be allowed to call us and we will immediately call you back. We’ll ask you to ask the officer for a private phone call so we can give you advice on whether to take, or refuse the blood, breath, or urine test. Lastly, we will have you request to be released so you can secure an Independent Test at a hospital. Although, most people don’t actually do the test once they are released, those who are not released almost always have a defense and can get their blood test Suppressed, due to the Officer interfering with you Right to Gather Exculpatory Evidence. We will ask you to come in and visit with us the next day in order to consult with DM Cantor regarding your defenses.
As always, the best strategy is always to have a designated driver or take Uber, Lyft, etc. if you are going to go out for the evening and have some drinks.

The legal team at DM Cantor is absolutely phenomenal. They helped me win my case and made me feel at home throughout the whole process. I am extremely grateful I chose DM Cantor for legal help, and I cannot recommend them enough! Adam Flood2025-02-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic office, clean, and amazing artwork. Plus final boss sour! Kevin McDermott2025-02-01Trustindex 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. KM Peggy2025-01-30Trustindex 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. Ayoub Abouri2025-01-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Met with Jason for a consultation. He was very honest and upfront. I appreciate the advice and information. I’m very happy I came in and even though I did not hire them I highly recommend them. Mike LaForest2025-01-17Trustindex 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.
