A 2nd-Offense Extreme DUI at Glendale City Court carried 40 actual jail days at the floor, a 12-month IID, the highest C1M fines, and a permanent 2nd-offense Extreme conviction. Future First reduced the case two tiers to 2nd-Offense Slightest Degree with 30 days custody, saving 10 actual jail days and getting jail and home detention costs waived.

The stakes
The client faced 2nd Offense Extreme DUI exposure under ARS § 28-1382(A)(1) with the repeat-offender enhancement under ARS § 28-1382(F) in Glendale City Court. A 2nd offense Extreme DUI conviction would have meant 120 days mandatory jail with up to 80 suspendable on installation of a 12-month CIID (40 days actual jail floor), mandatory 1-year driver license revocation, mandatory 12-month ignition interlock device, base fines starting at $3,500 plus 84 percent surcharges and assessments approaching $6,000 total, MADD Victim Impact Panel, supervised probation up to five years, community service exposure, mandatory alcohol screening and treatment, automatic insurance rate increases at the highest tier, a three-year arrest record sealing wait under ARS § 13-911 measured from IID removal, and a permanent 2nd-offense Extreme DUI conviction.

If you’re facing 2nd-Offense Extreme DUI in Arizona
The two-tier reduction from 2nd-Offense Extreme to 2nd-Offense Slightest Degree drops the public-record imprint from the highest 2nd-offense tier to the lowest. The conviction still counts as a 2nd offense, which means a future DUI within the look-back window would face felony Aggravated DUI exposure, but the day-of-conviction record reads “Slightest Degree” rather than “Extreme.”
Full waiver of both jail costs and home detention costs at sentencing is unusual. Jail costs run $100 to $150 per day in Maricopa County. Home detention costs run $25 to $50 per day. A 30-day total custody sentence with both fully waived saves $3,000 to $6,000 beyond the fine package.
