DUI Defense Attorney

in Kingman, AZ

Experienced. Resourceful. Effective. When you are facing a DUI charge in Kingman, AZ or anywhere in Mohave County, you need an attorney who understands Arizona DUI law, local courts, and what is really at stake for your future. Eric J. Engan, Attorney at Law provides aggressive, strategic DUI defense with a client-first approach.

A DUI arrest can feel overwhelming—your license, your job, your freedom, and your reputation may all be at risk. You do not have to go through it alone. Let me represent you. I will explain your options, protect your rights, and fight for the best possible result in your case.

Why Choose Me as Your DUI Defense Lawyer in Kingman

With decades of criminal defense experience in Mohave County, I bring seasoned judgment and practical insight to every DUI case. My background includes:

  • Practicing law in Mohave County since 1994
  • Over 60 felony jury trials defended
  • Extensive experience in felony and misdemeanor DUI cases
  • Former Mohave County Legal Defender’s Office attorney
  • Deep familiarity with local judges, prosecutors, and court procedures

I focus on clear communication and honest advice. From your first consultation through the resolution of your case, you will work directly with me, not passed around to different people who do not know your situation.

Arizona DUI Charges Are Serious – Act Quickly

Arizona has some of the toughest DUI laws in the country. Even a first-time DUI can carry mandatory jail time, fines, license suspension, and an ignition interlock requirement. More serious or repeat offenses can result in lengthy jail or prison time and severe long-term consequences.

I handle a full range of DUI-related cases, including:

  • Standard DUI (BAC of 0.08% or higher for adults, commercial and underage standards vary)
  • Extreme DUI and Super Extreme DUI (higher blood alcohol levels with harsher penalties)
  • Aggravated DUI (felony-level DUI, such as driving on a suspended license or multiple prior DUI convictions)
  • Drug-related DUI (prescription, marijuana, or other controlled substances)
  • Underage DUI for drivers under 21
  • DUI with accident, injury, or property damage

Time is critical. After a DUI arrest, you may have only a short window of time to request a hearing and fight a driver’s license suspension. The sooner you contact my office, the more options we typically have.

How I Defend DUI Cases in Mohave County

Every DUI case is unique. I take the time to review the evidence, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution’s case, and build a strategy tailored to your circumstances. I will look closely at:

  • The traffic stop: Did the officer have a legal reason to pull you over?
  • Field sobriety tests: Were they administered correctly and fairly?
  • Breath or blood tests: Were the devices properly calibrated and maintained? Were procedures followed?
  • Your rights: Were you properly advised of your rights? Was any evidence obtained illegally?
  • Police reports and video: Do the officer’s statements match what actually happened?

Based on this analysis, I may challenge the stop, the testing, the reliability of the results, or move to suppress certain evidence. In other cases, strategic negotiations or alternative resolutions—such as reduced charges or minimized penalties—may be the best way to protect your future.

 

Protecting Your License, Your Record, and Your Future

A DUI conviction can affect far more than just the short-term penalties. It can impact:

  • Your driving privileges and ability to get to work or school
  • Your employment and professional licenses
  • Your insurance rates
  • Your family and personal life
  • Your criminal record and future opportunities

My goal is to help you reach the best possible outcome under the facts of your case—whether that means seeking dismissal, reduction of charges, reduced penalties, or exploring alternatives that limit the long-term impact.

Local Representation You Can Count On

I have practiced law in Kingman and across Mohave County for many years. I understand how local courts operate and what to expect at each stage of a DUI case. I bring that experience to every client I represent, including those facing related criminal or family law concerns that may arise from a DUI arrest.

My office handles a wide range of matters, including:

  • Criminal law – felonies, misdemeanors, juvenile defense, DUI, and more
  • Family law – divorce, custody, visitation, support, and division of property
  • Juvenile defense and child abuse cases

When your case touches both criminal and family issues—such as a DUI allegation affecting custody or visitation—my dual experience in these areas can be especially valuable.
