Navigating a DUI charge can be daunting, leaving you uncertain about its potential impact on your daily life, finances, and personal freedom. In Arizona, DUI charges carry substantial penalties, including the possibility of jail time. Understanding the various DUI categories in Arizona and the associated penalties for a guilty verdict can provide clarity on your situation. Exploring your legal options becomes crucial.

Engaging the services of seasoned Arizona DUI lawyers, such as the defense lawyers at Future First Criminal Law, offers valuable insights into your best course of action. With extensive experience in a range of DUI cases, we comprehend Arizona’s DUI laws and their relevance to your unique circumstances. Our experienced DUI lawyers collaborate with you to construct a robust defense, striving for the most favorable outcome in your case.

Arizona DUI Defense

If someone is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they will likely undergo a blood alcohol concentration or drug content (BADC) test. In Arizona, as a driver, you implicitly consent to this test by merely being behind the wheel. The BADC test, conducted through breath, blood, or urine samples, determines whether the individual will face a DUI charge and, if so, its classification. In Arizona, a BAC above 0.08% triggers a DUI charge; for commercial vehicle drivers, the threshold is lower at 0.04%. Arizona maintains a zero-tolerance policy for those under 21, making any alcohol presence grounds for DUI arrest.

DUI penalties in Arizona are severe which can include license suspension, jail and/or prison time, substance abuse counseling, community service, Ignition Interlock, and steep fines. For all offenders, reinstating the driver’s license usually involves SR-22 Insurance, enrolling in an alcohol education program and installing an ignition interlock device on the vehicle.

What You Need To Know About Possible DUI Defenses

The bulk of evidence for a DUI charge is typically gathered at the traffic stop scene. However, there are several strategies that our experienced lawyers can employ to mount a robust DUI defense.

One clear defense involves questioning the accuracy of the Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) test and the validity of its administration. Successful defenses against DUI charges have included proving that the BAC test was contaminated, that the administering officer delayed too long before conducting the test (potentially causing the BAC to rise in the meantime), or that the test sample was mishandled or inaccurately labeled.

Furthermore, there are mitigating circumstances related to the individual facing the DUI charge. Some medications can impact BAC test results, and the circumstances surrounding a field sobriety test can affect a person’s performance.

Other potential defenses against a DUI charge include arguing that the arresting officer lacked probable cause to initiate the traffic stop or demonstrating that the individual arrested did not have control of the vehicle at the time of the arrest. This argument is often used when the arrested individual was physically in the vehicle but not actively driving it at the time. By carefully examining these details, a strong defense can be mounted against a DUI charge.

Should I Hire An Arizona DUI Defense Lawyer?

While facing a DUI charge in Arizona may initially seem straightforward, the complexities of the Arizona DUI law make hiring our Arizona DUI defense lawyers highly beneficial.

As you can see below in our penalties chart, the complexities of the Arizona DUI law mean there are many layers to the charge and the subsequent penalties. Having our experienced lawyers can make navigating these layers much easier. The bottom line is – if you are facing a DUI charge in Arizona, you need an experienced Phoenix DUI defense lawyer.

Arnie

GoogleReview "More than a year ago, I found myself in some serious legal trouble facing the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence. My fiancé, Jackie and I decided we needed a good attorney to help us maneuver through this difficult situation. We are not rich people and we were afraid that we would not be able to find a reliable and reputable firm at a price we could afford. We searched the internet and came across Future First Law Firm. When Jackie saw the high rating and many five star reviews she convinced me to give them a call. After a short conversation with Zach, we were both convinced we had found the right firm. It took over a year and several court appearances but Zach and his team stood by my side through it all and helped me get a great plea. It was a nerve-racking process, but Zach was always patient and ready to address any concerns we had. Thanks to Future First, we are excited about our plans for the future. If you find yourself in a legal mess, I highly recommend hiring Zach and his team."
