Criminal Defense of DUI Offenses
Arizona's Top DUI Criminal Defense Attorney
If you’re facing DUI charges in Arizona, you’re up against some of the toughest laws and penalties in the country. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including marijuana, is a serious offense that can have significant repercussions on your life. Here’s what you need to know:
Penalties for a First-Time DUI Conviction:
Mandatory Jail Time: Even for a first offense, Arizona law mandates jail time.
Mandatory Fines: In addition to jail time, you’ll face substantial fines.
Alcohol/Drug Screening Counseling: You may be required to undergo counseling for substance abuse.
License Suspension or Revocation: Your driving privileges will be suspended or revoked.
Ignition Interlock Device: You’ll likely have to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle for 6-12 months.
Important Note for Out-of-State Residents: If you hold an out-of-state driver’s license, a DUI conviction in Arizona can lead to additional penalties imposed by your home state’s Motor Vehicle Department. These penalties are separate from those imposed by Arizona.
Penalties for a Second DUI Conviction or Aggravated DUI Felony Offense:
- Mandatory Jail or Prison Time: A second offense or an aggravated DUI can result in mandatory incarceration.
- Increased Fines: Fines for subsequent offenses exceed $2,500, not including jail costs.
- Continued Counseling: You may be required to undergo additional counseling.
- Extended License Revocation: Your driver’s license may be revoked for a minimum of one year.
- Prolonged Ignition Interlock Requirement: Following license reinstatement, you’ll need to have an ignition interlock device installed for at least one year.
It’s crucial to remember that Arizona DUI laws and penalties are complex and can vary depending on individual circumstances. If you’re facing DUI charges in Arizona, you need an experienced attorney who understands the intricacies of the DUI laws and will fight tirelessly to protect your rights.
