FIRST DUI OFFENSE ATTORNEY
IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA

In Arizona, the penalties for a DUI conviction depend primarily on blood alcohol concentration or BAC. If your BAC is above .08%, you will be charged with a DUI. Blood alcohol concentration above .15%, will lead to Extreme DUI charges or worse.  In some cases, it’s possible to be charged with a DUI even with a BAC of below .08%.

If it’s your first offense, don’t expect the courts and prosecutors to “go easy” on you. Arizona is aggressively trying to cut down on drunk driving and mandatory sentencing guidelines mean you will receive at least some jail time and severe financial penalties. A Second Offense DUI substantially increases the mandatory minimum penalties and punishments required by Arizona law.
