What Mesa Municipal Court DUI Practice Looks Like
Detailed pre-trial conference practice — discovery review tends to be thorough. Aggressive early discovery requests pay off here; many cases involve breath-test logs that have not been reviewed by either side until the defense pushes.
Pretrial conferences run on a 5–7 week cadence. Continuances are granted for cause but the court increasingly disfavors repeat continuance requests on misdemeanor DUIs.
