Future First cut in-custody days from 9 to 3, kept work release on the home detention back end, and dismissed every companion count.

The stakes
The client faced a Super Extreme DUI charge under ARS § 28-1382(A)(2) with a BAC at or above .20, the highest impairment tier in Arizona before aggravated offenses, paired with a child endangerment misdemeanor under ARS § 13-3619 and multiple companion counts. Arizona law requires Super Extreme DUI to carry 14 days actual confinement at minimum even after suspended days, and the State’s first offer structured those 14 days as 9 in custody plus 5 home detention. Each in-custody day meant lost work, lost income, and harsher conditions for the client.
What we did
Future First negotiated the case down on multiple fronts. All companion counts were dismissed, leaving only the Super Extreme DUI and the child endangerment misdemeanor. Future First’s deviation request was granted in part, cutting in-custody days from 9 to 3 with the remaining 11 days served on home detention, and securing work release approval after the first 24 hours of custody. Set aside under ARS § 13-905 became available after all sentencing terms completed. Sealing records under ARS § 13-911 eligible approximately 2028, three years after the one-year judge-ordered IID ends.

If you’re facing a Super Extreme DUI in Arizona
Deviation requests are the underused defense tool on Super Extreme DUI cases. Arizona statute permits the court to vary the custody structure within the 14-day floor based on screening recommendations, employment circumstances, and family obligations. When defense counsel files a structured deviation request with supporting documentation, the prosecutor and judge sometimes accept a 3-days-in-custody plus 11-days-home-detention split instead of the standard 9-and-5 structure.
Work release authorization on the home detention back end keeps income flowing during the sentence. Pinal County courts and other rural Arizona courts handle home detention paperwork differently than Maricopa County urban courts; the eligibility documentation and screening requirements need to be prepared in advance of the plea hearing for the option to stay available at sentencing.
Dismissal of every companion DUI count cleans up the record going into sentencing. Multi-count DUI cases routinely include lesser-included companion counts (DUI subsection variations, traffic violations, vehicle code counts) that each carry separate fine exposure and probation tail. Securing dismissal on all companion counts simplifies the sentencing structure and removes layers of long-tail consequences.
