The stakes
The client faced Super Extreme DUI exposure under ARS § 28-1382(A)(2) in Phoenix Municipal Court. Super Extreme DUI sits at the top of the C1M DUI hierarchy and carries 45 days mandatory jail with 31 days suspendable on IID completion, leaving 14 days actual served, an 18-month judge-ordered ignition interlock device, MADD VIP, full DUI counseling, the highest C1M fine tier, and a permanent Super Extreme DUI record.
What we did
Future First negotiated the case down one tier from Super Extreme to Extreme DUI under ARS § 28-1382(A)(1). The client served 2 days jail and 7 days continuous alcohol monitoring (9 days total) instead of 14 at the Super Extreme floor, saving 5 jail days. The judge-ordered IID term dropped from 18 months to 12 months. Fines settled in the Extreme tier instead of the Super Extreme tier. Set aside under ARS § 13-905 available after sentence completion. Sealing records under ARS § 13-911 eligible approximately 2028, three years after the 12-month judge-ordered IID ends.

If you’re facing a Super Extreme DUI in Arizona
The judge-ordered IID is the longest-running condition of any DUI sentence. Super Extreme DUI carries an 18-month judge-ordered IID; Extreme DUI carries 12 months. Each additional IID month carries device fees, monthly calibration costs, and downstream impact on the sealing eligibility clock. Six months of judge-ordered IID typically costs $400 to $600 in device and calibration fees alone.
The judge-ordered IID also runs in parallel with the separate MVD administrative IID requirement, but the two timelines are different and the judge-ordered IID is the one that controls the start of the sealing clock under § 13-911. Cutting six months off the judge-ordered IID accelerates everything downstream of that condition.
