DUI

Arizona DUI Lawyer

Arizona has some of the toughest DUI/DWI laws in the Country. On a first offense of simple DUI, you are facing up to six months in jail, a fine up to $2,500, court ordered substance abuse counseling, and a minimum sentence of 10 days and thousands of dollars in fines. Your license will be suspended for at least 90 days, and could be suspended up to one year. The legal limit has been lowered to .08, which for most people is only between one and three drinks. To be found guilty, all the prosecutor has to show is that you were driving, and that your "BAC" was at least .08. It doesn't even matter if you didn't feel impaired.

On a second offense, you get all the same penalties, except the minimum jail term is now 30 days, your license is revoked for a year, and you will be required to use an ignition interlock (a device that prevents your car from starting if you have alcohol in your system). A third offense is usually a felony, with four months in prison as a minimum sentence. Causing an accident while impaired may lead to felony assault or murder charges, both of which carry stiff prison sentences.
