Best DUI Lawyers in Tucson

If you are reading this, there is a good chance you have been charged with a DUI and are looking for a lawyer. These client reviews are how I found St. Louis Huffman so I thought I would share my experience. St. Louis Huffman is the best DUI firm you will find. My attorney, Ryan Huffman, was fantasti...c. As I perused through all the client reviews I noticed a common theme that sets St. Louis Huffman apart from other firms—accepting a plea bargain is generally not how this law firm operates. I was pleasantly surprised to see that from day-one they treated my case as if I could expect to go to trial. They intended to make the state prove their case and would leave no stone unturned in the process. In fact, their fee structure included going to trial. I had always been under the impression that there would be a “trial penalty” for going to trial and losing. I thought this was how the state normally coerced defendants to settle. If they went to trial and lost, the system would punish them with a harsher sentence ostensibly for taking the court’s time. I did some research on this and couldn’t find anything about Arizona adopting a trial penalty concept. My research was consistent with what Ryan told me about having nothing to lose by rejecting their plea offer. This is good news when you have a lawyer who approaches the case intending to go to trial. Most other lawyers would have probably recommended taking the offer. If you are content to just accept a plea deal and all the adverse consequences that come with it, you can probably find a law firm that will take your case for less. But if you want to hire an attorney who is not afraid to go to trial, look no further than St. Louis Huffman. I think their flat fee was fair and reasonable considering they are the best DUI lawyers in Tucson. In preparation for my initial consultation with Ryan, I typed out a narrative of every detail I could remember about the traffic stop. It took several hours to write but it reduced the likelihood that I might leave something out. Inside of two minutes he had a good understanding of what happened and asked additional questions from there. I was impressed enough with his assessment and confidence that I made the decision to retain him on the spot. He told me that there would be a fairly long period of radio silence while we waited for the state to produce their evidence and go through the preliminary and investigative process. I left the office feeling that I had made the right decision. I followed the case progress on the court’s website. Months went by and every time there was a hearing another was scheduled for about six weeks down the road. Since I didn’t have to attend any of these hearings Ryan always emailed me the court’s minute entry afterwards. Finally I received a call from Ryan that after a meeting with the prosecutor where a deficiency in the state’s case was raised the prosecutor decided to dismiss the case. Prior to my being charged with a DUI, the extent of my exposure to law enforcement consisted of a few speeding tickets. Being on the side of the road performing circus tricks for the police was not something I ever contemplated. I was incensed that the police report was so one-sided and false. Later, I discovered that this is not only normal but the police training manuals actually encourage them to do this to bolster the state’s case. After this DUI experience I have a very different view of law enforcement. Perhaps this is an unintended consequence, nevertheless they have themselves to blame as active participants. When I saw how biased the police report was I realized how important it was to have the best lawyers in my corner. I am so glad I found this firm. I would recommend St. Louis Huffman without hesitation. Everything they did was professional and first-class. Their support team was fantastic too. It was so reassuring to know that they were on the case and fighting for me.

Professional representation

I hired Ryan Huffman after I was accused of an assault charge. Throughout the 6 month process, Ryan was available and even offered to help me on a personal matter unrelated to the case. Ryan thoroughly explained all aspects of the case and potential outcomes. When the prosecutor offered a plea deal, ...I wasn't comfortable with it because it would lead to an undesirable outcome for me personally and professionally. I wanted a fair trial and Ryan was ready to stand by me for it. He executed a flawless defense on my behalf. He thoroughly explained my position in the incident and demonstrated that I was not the person that the prosecutor attempted to paint me as. I was found not guilty on all charges, I regained my job and my reputation was upheld. Ryan Huffman will defend you and see your case through. An absolute must partner if you are accused of an offense.

your best and only option! - Ryan A. Huffman

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Ryan Huffman's legal services. When I was charged with a serious criminal offense, I felt lost, confused, and scared. However, Ryan was there for me from the very beginning, providing me with guidance, support, and expert legal advice. He was confident, i...nformed, and professional, which put me at ease and made me feel like I was in good hands. Ryan's knowledge of the law and experience in criminal defense was evident from the start. He was able to quickly assess my case, provide me with a clear understanding of the charges I was facing, and develop a comprehensive legal strategy to achieve the best possible outcome for me. Throughout the entire process, he was responsive, communicative, and always available to answer any questions I had. Thanks to Ryan's hard work and dedication, my case was resolved favorably. I truly believe that there is no one else in town that could have done for me what Ryan did. He went above and beyond to fight for my rights, protect my future, and ensure that I received the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Ryan Huffman to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. His expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach make him stand out from the rest. He truly cares about his clients and will do everything in his power to help them achieve the best possible outcome.

Amazing and Caring Lawyer

My son and I were referred to Nesci & St Louis when my son was in need of legal council. We met Ryan Huffman and retained him for my son's legal defense. He reviewed all of the information that the prosecution had, and had a very thorough conversation with us about what my son was looking at in terms... of options, what the possible outcomes were, and what his defense would be if we retained him. The court dates dragged out for quite a while due to being in the midst of COVID, but Ryan was always communicative of what was going on, what each court date was for, and where we were at in the process. At the end of the whole process, he was able to show that the prosecution's case was based off of information that was provided as a result of promised outcomes by the officer. This allowed him to fight for and ultimately obtain a much reduced charge for my son. I would highly recommend Ryan if you are looking for a defense attorney that will listen to you, is willing to answer any questions you have about the complicated process, and will fight for what he feels is the best possible outcome for your case.

Not Guilty

I don’t even know where to begin. But to start I was pulled over and arrested for a DUI in the slightest degree. Even though it was a very minor charge it still would have effected in a very bad way as I drive for work. I was charged before COVID which gave a new list of difficulties I’m sure on his ...end. But let me tell you why this law firm is worth the money. One- after I was charged I was aloud to drive the entire time until trial which was a major relief Two- essentially once you get a lawyer from this firm especially Ryan you can almost forget about the charge and know that the moment there is an update they will reach out to you. Otherwise you can set it and forget it. That really helped getting my Mind off of things. Three- honestly I don’t have enough space to write out everything that they did to get me a not guilty charge. But the cliff notes are they were quick, to the point, and efficient. Just one thing to keep in mind is if you go to trial and you require expert witnesses you will need to pay more money based on the expert witness a month before trial. But other than that sure it costed some money but I believe it was well worth it. Thank you Ryan and the team at Nesci & St. Louise.
