Provide 24/7 access to your lawyer.
Handle cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning no attorney fees are owed unless compensation is recovered for you.

Unlike many criminal defense attorneys who only focus on the criminal side, Jason brings rare dual expertise in both personal injury and workers’ compensation law, allowing him to see the entire process from every angle.
Jason has personally resolved thousands of car accident cases, including those caused by intoxicated drivers. His dedication has helped many clients obtain meaningful settlements and verdicts to help cover medical expenses, ongoing treatment, and family needs.
With Harris Injury Law, you get more than just a DUI attorney, you gain an advocate who treats every case with the same care he would for his own family.
DUI accidents happen in many ways, often involving reckless driving and violations of Arizona law. Some common causes include:
Extreme DUI and super extreme DUI cases where drivers exceed the legal limit (0.08% blood alcohol concentration) by a wide margin.
Prior DUI convictions that show a pattern of disregard for safety.
Standard DUI incidents involving drivers just over the legal drinking age.
Aggravating factors, such as speeding, ignoring traffic signals, or causing property damage.
Medical conditions that interact with alcohol or drugs, impairing safe driving.
The legal blood alcohol content limit in Arizona is 0.08% for most drivers, making it crucial for drivers to monitor their alcohol consumption to avoid severe consequences.
Extreme DUIs in Arizona involve blood alcohol levels of 0.15% or higher, which carry harsher penalties due to the increased risk they pose to public safety.
Scottsdale is home to vibrant nightlife, especially in Old Town, making drunk driving a persistent risk. Despite police officers conducting frequent traffic stops and breathalyzer tests, DUI accidents still occur at alarming rates.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), DUI-related crashes remain a serious issue in Maricopa County, which includes Scottsdale.
In 2023, Arizona reported over 4,800 alcohol-related crashes, with nearly 3,000 injuries and more than 200 fatalities statewide.
Maricopa County accounted for the highest number of DUI crashes, many occurring in busy urban areas like Scottsdale.
The Scottsdale Police Department continues to issue hundreds of DUI charges annually, including extreme DUI and super extreme DUI offenses.
Arizona has strict penalties for DUI convictions to deter drunk driving, emphasizing the importance of legal compliance and responsible behavior.

These numbers highlight the urgent need for both DUI defense attorneys and victim advocacy.
After being injured by a drunk driver, you may be entitled to compensation beyond what an auto insurance company offers. Victims have the right to:
Seek fair compensation for medical bills, medical expenses, and long-term rehabilitation.
Recover damages for lost wages and reduced earning capacity.
File a claim for emotional trauma and pain and suffering.
Hold the other driver accountable through civil lawsuits, even if there is a separate criminal case.
Statutes of limitations can limit the timeframe for filing a claim after a DUI accident, making timely legal action essential to securing the compensation you deserve.
If you’re the one facing DUI charges, you still have important legal rights. You have the right to remain silent, to avoid common mistakes during questioning, and to demand that proper procedures and probable cause be followed. A skilled DUI lawyer can challenge evidence, including flawed breathalyzer tests or field sobriety tests, and build the most effective defense strategy for your DUI case. A DUI conviction can lead to severe penalties, including loss of driving privileges and increased insurance costs, underscoring the importance of a strong legal defense.
Our Scottsdale DUI accident lawyers assist clients with:
Collecting police reports and medical records to prove negligence.
Investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Negotiating aggressively with the auto insurance company for full and fair compensation.
Preparing for trial if necessary, ensuring you get strong legal representation in court.
Helping with the legal process of driver’s license reinstatement, dealing with an ignition interlock device, or addressing additional penalties such as jail time, community service hours, or fines.
Whether you are an injured victim or someone facing DUI charges, our experienced attorneys can guide you through the entire process.
Accidents don’t happen on a schedule. That’s why our law firm makes your case a priority, day or night. Whether it’s responding to a traffic stop, reviewing police reports, or conducting a last-minute case review, we are available 24/7 to discuss your case and provide guidance.
