Understanding DUI Charges in Arizona

Arizona has some of the strictest DUI laws in the country. Drivers may face charges for operating a vehicle while impaired, with penalties ranging in severity based on the circumstances. 

The legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit in Arizona is 0.08% for most drivers, with stricter thresholds for commercial drivers and those under the age of 21. Even drivers who test below the legal limit can be charged if they show signs of impairment.

There are various types of DUI charges in Scottsdale, including:

• A standard DUI, which applies when a driver's BAC is between 0.08% and 0.149%. 
• An extreme DUI, which involves a BAC of 0.15% or higher
• A super extreme DUI, where a BAC is 0.20% or higher
• Underage DUI, which applies to drivers under the legal drinking age. They could face charges with any alcohol in their system, even with values lower than 0.08.
• Aggravated DUI charges, which involve repeat offenses, suspended licenses, or situations where a minor is present in the vehicle

The penalties for DUI convictions in Arizona are severe and may include fines, probation, jail time, and license suspension. First-time offenders often face mandatory minimum penalties, which escalate significantly for repeat offenses. Additional penalties, such as mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device or completion of alcohol education programs, are common. 

These consequences can also affect a driver’s personal and professional life, making DUI charges a serious legal matter.

Our Process for DUI Cases 

We can guide clients from the moment of arrest through resolution or trial, maintaining clarity and attention to detail at every stage. 

The process begins with the arrest, where law enforcement may conduct field sobriety tests or chemical testing. We can carefully review any legal procedures authorities take during this interaction.

Following the arrest, an arraignment is scheduled. During this initial court appearance, charges are formally presented. We can evaluate the case to plan the next steps. 

Pre-trial proceedings follow. They involve motions and hearings. We use this phase to challenge evidence that could lack reliability or compliance with proper procedures. Our team can also negotiate with the prosecution to explore alternative resolutions. 

If the case progresses to trial, we thoroughly prepare for courtroom litigation. We can analyze witness testimony, cross-examine statements, and present arguments to challenge the prosecution’s evidence. At each phase, we present a strong defense to address errors, procedural missteps, or weaknesses in the state’s case. 

By giving you an active, detailed approach, we help achieve meaningful outcomes and uphold your legal rights at every step.
