DUI Defense Specialists
Arizona has some of the strictest DUI laws in the country, and facing these charges without expert help can be devastating. The firm’s primary expertise lies in navigating the complexities of these cases, including:
- Extreme and Super Extreme DUI: defending against enhanced charges that carry mandatory jail time.
- Drug DUI: Handling cases involving prescription medication or illicit drugs.
- License Suspension Hearings: Representing clients before the MVD to save their driving privileges.
They understand the science behind breath and blood testing and know how to challenge the validity of traffic stops and field sobriety tests.
Located in Historic Barrio Viejo
The firm operates out of a unique and welcoming office in Barrio Viejo, one of Tucson’s most cherished historic neighborhoods. Their office is not in a sterile glass tower, but in a converted historic property that reflects the character of the community they serve. This approachable atmosphere helps reduce the stress clients feel when dealing with legal issues. Despite the relaxed setting, their representation in the courtroom is aggressive and unyielding.

Clients of Charnesky & Dieglio often benefit from the collaborative approach of the two partners.
