An extreme DUI is more than just a traffic offense—it’s a criminal charge that can affect your life for years to come. That’s why it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney like those at Canyon State Law fighting for you.
In Arizona, an extreme DUI is defined under ARS 28-1382 as operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.15% or higher within two hours of driving. Arizona’s DUI laws are among the toughest in the nation, and an extreme DUI conviction carries substantial penalties, including fines, jail time, and license suspension.
For first-time offenders, an extreme DUI conviction brings significant penalties. These include at least 30 days in jail, fines exceeding $2,500, and a one-year requirement for an ignition interlock device. You’ll also face mandatory alcohol counseling and potential community service.
Our legal team works to reduce or dismiss these charges by challenging the evidence presented by the prosecution. Whether questioning the accuracy of breathalyzer results or the legitimacy of the traffic stop, we fight aggressively to protect your rights.
If you face a second extreme DUI charge within five years of the first, the penalties increase dramatically. A conviction carries at least 120 days in jail, over $3,000 in fines, a one-year license revocation, and extended ignition interlock device requirements. You’ll also face mandatory alcohol treatment and community service.
Our Attorneys understand how devastating these consequences can be. Our defense strategy focuses on identifying errors in the arrest process, challenging the validity of BAC results, and negotiating with prosecutors for reduced penalties when appropriate.
Arizona imposes harsher penalties for extreme DUIs because a higher BAC poses a greater risk to public safety. The state aims to deter impaired driving through stiff fines, jail time, and mandatory interlock devices.
Beyond legal penalties, an extreme DUI conviction can affect your life in other ways:
These long-lasting consequences underscore the importance of hiring an experienced extreme DUI lawyer. Canyon State Law is dedicated to protecting your rights and minimizing the impact of an extreme DUI charge.
If you have prior DUI convictions, the penalties for an extreme DUI become even more severe. Repeat offenders face longer jail sentences, higher fines, and extended periods with an ignition interlock device. Arizona’s strict approach reflects the state’s commitment to reducing impaired driving.
Canyon State Law offers several defense strategies to fight extreme DUI charges:
We question the calibration and operation of the breathalyzer used during your arrest. Faulty equipment or improper use can lead to inaccurate BAC readings.
If law enforcement stopped you without probable cause, any evidence gathered during the stop can be challenged and potentially dismissed.
Mistakes made during your arrest, from improper Miranda warnings to flawed testing procedures, can weaken the prosecution’s case.
In some cases, we negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or explore alternative sentencing options that minimize the impact on your life.
We highlight factors such as your clean record, background, and the specific circumstances of your case to advocate for reduced penalties.
An extreme DUI involves a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.15% or higher within two hours of driving.
While you can refuse, Arizona’s implied consent law means your license can be suspended for refusing the test.
Typically, at least one year, though the exact duration depends on your case and prior offenses.
