The stakes
The client faced Super Extreme DUI exposure under ARS § 28-1382(A)(2) in Tolleson 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 the case down two tiers from Super Extreme DUI to DUI Impaired to the Slightest Degree under ARS § 28-1381(A)(1). The client served 4 days custody (2 jail and 2 work release) instead of the Super Extreme 14-day actual jail floor, saving 10 actual jail days. Alcohol screening and counseling were ordered. Fines settled at $3,400 plus jail costs on a $100/month payment plan. The judge ordered an IID even at the Slightest tier given the underlying BAC. Set aside under ARS § 13-905 available upon IID removal and program completion. Arrest record sealing under ARS § 13-911 eligible approximately 2028, three years after IID removal, with the public-record imprint dropped from Super Extreme to Slightest Degree.

If you’re facing Super Extreme DUI in Arizona
Two-tier reductions from Super Extreme down to Slightest Degree drop the jail floor from 14 actual days to 1, drop the fine tier from the highest C1M level to the lowest, drop the IID period from 18 months to 12 months, and remove the Super Extreme stripe from the public-record imprint. The reduction is the strongest plea-down outcome on a Super Extreme case short of full charge dismissal.
Work release substitution for jail days lets the client maintain employment during the custody portion. The court releases the client during working hours to attend their job and returns them to custody for the off-hours. Work release is functionally a partial-custody structure that preserves income during the sentence.
