Defending You Against Alcohol and Drug Charges

Bullhead City * Lake Havasu City * Kingman

Criminal charges involving controlled substances generally turn on very specific evidence. If you've been charged with an alcohol or drug crime, you will not want to give the police any evidence against you by trying to talk your way out of the situation. Instead, contact an attorney right away.

At the Knochel Law Firm, based in Bullhead City, Arizona, our criminal defense lawyers have the experience to give you a strong defense. Contact us to discuss how we can help you deal with your criminal charges.

Experienced Drunk Driving Defense Attorneys

If you've been pulled over for alleged drunk driving , you are likely facing two separate proceedings: a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) hearing about your driver's license and a criminal trial for the crime of DUI (also known as DWI).

We will request a DMV hearing on your behalf and work hard to avoid or reduce the severity of the license suspension. We will also fight criminal DUI charges through a combination of negotiation and trial advocacy as necessary.

The related charge of OUI (operating under the influence) is often brought against people alleged to have been boating while using alcohol or drugs. This can have similar consequences to DUI, and we handle many OUI cases.

One big concern for many people is how a DUI or OUI conviction will affect their employment. If you are convicted, we will work to get you a restricted license so you can drive to work, and if you are sentenced to jail time, we will pursue a work release or a weekend sentence.

Lawyers for Your Illegal or Prescription Drug Case

Drug charges can have serious consequences, depending on the type of drug involved and the specific crime with which you've been charged. We are highly experienced at defending clients against charges such as simple possession, possession with intent to sell and trafficking of illegal and prescription drugs such as:

  • Methamphetamines
  • Speed
  • Marijuana
  • Vicodin®
  • Valium®
  • Percocet®
  • Darvocet®

It may be that the evidence against you is faulty or was seized illegally. If so, we will fight to get the charges dismissed. We can also negotiate over issues such as rehab and probation rather than jail time.

If you've been accused of DUI (DWI), OUI or a drug crime in Arizona, Nevada or California, don't hesitate to contact us at the Knochel Law Firm.

Our criminal defense lawyers at the Knochel Law Firm, based in Bullhead City, Arizona, have been helping defendants protect their rights since we were founded in 1989. We provide criminal defense services so everyone can have access to justice. Contact us to learn what we can do right away to help you.

Handling Arizona, Nevada and California Criminal Charges

At the Knochel Law Firm, we defend clients against a wide range of criminal offenses, from minor misdemeanors to major felonies. We handle state charges in Arizona, Nevada and California, as well as federal charges. If you have been charged with any of the following crimes, or any other crime, we can help:

  • DUI/DWI and OUI
  • Drug offenses
  • Domestic violence
  • Traffic violations (speeding tickets, reckless driving)
  • Property crimes (theft, vandalism, arson, identity theft, shoplifting)
  • White collar crimes (fraud, embezzlement, forgery)
  • Violent crimes (assault, battery, homicide)
  • Sex offenses (rape, prostitution, child molestation)
  • Weapons offenses
  • Conspiracy
  • Parole and probation violations

Firm Advocates in Negotiations and at Trial

At the Knochel Law Firm, we pride ourselves on being both skilled criminal defense negotiators and experienced trial lawyers. In many cases, negotiation is a key skill, because a defendant's best option may be to accept a plea bargain to plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a more serious charge being dropped.

But if your case needs to go to trial to protect your rights, we have the experience you need. Our managing attorney, Keith S. Knochel, has tried a large number of criminal defense cases in his more than 20 years of practicing law in the Tri-State area.

As an established criminal defense law firm, we have contacts with well regarded experts, including forensic experts, who can testify on our clients' behalf if the facts warrant it. We will make sure your side of the story is told in pursuit of a fair outcome.

Contact us at 866-674-4003 or by e-mail to discuss your charges with an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
