What Our Clients
Are Saying

Taylor Anderson was everything you want in an attorney. He listened, understood, and became a champion for me. He treated my case like it was his most important and his results were everything I had hoped for and I am most grateful to him. I recommend Taylor to anyone who feels wronged by a traffic citation and wants to be vindicated. He truly gets results.

My husband received excellent service from Anderson and Cabrera Law Group. Taylor Anderson patiently answered every question that we had and made us feel very comfortable. We ended up with a favorable outcome to our court case! We would not hesitate to recommend this law office!!

Taylor helped me with a civil traffic case. He was very knowledgeable. He had a clear strategy from the beginning and was able to get a favorable outcome. He was also great with communication, from the first phone call to the in-person meeting, throughout the case till the end. Highly recommended.

Phoenix DUI Defense Strategies

An experienced Arizona DUI attorney can develop a variety of defense strategies to minimize penalties and prevent you from serving time in jail.

Illegal Stop

Law enforcement officers stopped you without a reasonable suspicion for suspecting you had violated any laws.

Illegal Arrest

Police officers cannot demonstrate that there was probable cause for the DUI arrest.

Illegal Search

If law enforcement officers searched your vehicle without probable cause that you might have committed a crime, any evidence they seized becomes inadmissible in court.

Questioning Police
Officers’ Credibility

Evidence of inconsistent statements by law enforcement officers can be used to undermine the prosecution’s case.

Discrepancy
Between Police Reports
and Video Recordings

Cameras are everywhere these days, especially when police officers are involved. A savvy DUI lawyer will know where to look to find any discrepancies between what officers say happened and what body-camera footage reveals.

Unreliability of
Field Sobriety Tests

The sobriety tests commonly used by police are not always reliable. Our expert witnesses have often resorted to scientific evidence of the unreliability of these tests to secure a dismissal.

Invalid Breath
and/or Blood Test

The officer who administered the breath test must have a valid license to operate the testing equipment. If they don’t, the results are not admissible in court.
Intoxilyzer malfunction
Absence of duplicate test to validate result
The device used is not approved for use in Arizona
Operator didn’t follow established procedure
Blood was not drawn within two hours of driving
