A Super Extreme DUI at Phoenix Municipal Court carried 14 actual jail days at the floor, an 18-month judge-ordered IID, MADD VIP, the highest C1M fine tier, and a permanent Super Extreme DUI on the record. Future First worked a creative sentence structure that waived the 18-month IID entirely and substituted Continuous Alcohol Monitoring at home for most of the jail term.

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 consecutive days mandatory jail under ARS § 28-1382(D) with up to 31 days suspendable on installation of an 18-month CIID (14 days actual jail floor), an 18-month judge-ordered ignition interlock device, MADD Victim Impact Panel, the highest C1M fines plus DUI assessments approaching $3,500 total, mandatory alcohol screening and counseling, supervised probation up to five years, automatic driver license suspension, significant insurance rate increases, a three-year arrest record sealing wait under ARS § 13-911 measured from the IID removal date, and a permanent Super Extreme DUI tier conviction.
What we did
Future First negotiated a creative sentence structure in which the judge waived the 18-month IID requirement entirely and allowed the client to serve the remaining custody days under Continuous Alcohol Monitoring (CAM) at home rather than in jail. The client served 3 days jail on self-surrender plus 42 days CAM in place of both the 11 standard Super Extreme jail floor days and the 18-month IID. That cut 11 days of actual jail and replaced a year and a half of in-car ignition interlock restriction with a 42-day at-home monitoring period. Jail costs were waived. The client completed MADD VIP and alcohol screening and counseling. Fines settled at $3,193. Set aside under ARS § 13-905 available 2025 upon sentence-review discharge. Arrest record sealing under ARS § 13-911 eligible approximately 2028, three years after confinement ends, with no IID-removal date to wait for.

If you’re facing Super Extreme DUI in Arizona
Full IID waiver on a Super Extreme DUI plea is one of the rarest outcomes in Arizona DUI defense. The 18-month judge-ordered IID is a near-universal condition on Super Extreme convictions. The waiver requires defense counsel to construct a substitute monitoring structure that the court will accept in place of the IID. Continuous Alcohol Monitoring (CAM) at home is the most common substitute, with the monitoring period typically running longer than the IID would have but without the in-car device.
The compounding effect of the IID waiver runs across multiple consequence categories. No IID means no device fees over 18 months (typically $1,000 to $1,500). No IID means no parallel MVD ignition interlock track. Most importantly, no IID means no IID-removal date controlling the sealing clock under § 13-911. The sealing clock instead runs from confinement end, which is significantly earlier than the IID-removal-based timeline.
Replacing 11 jail floor days with 42 days of at-home CAM is a structural trade that the client typically wants. CAM monitoring is served at home with normal employment and family routines. The court satisfies the supervision-time requirement through the longer monitoring period rather than the shorter custody period.
