    DUI penalties in Arizona

    California DUI Beer at StadiumThe offense of driving under the influence (DUI) is punishable under Arizona law by several different kinds of penalties.  Those penalties can fall within different categories of criminal offenses from misdemeanors to felonies.

    If the charge is a first offense, for example, and falls within a certain blood alcohol content range, it will likely be charged as a misdemeanor. There may be jail time. Fines may be associated with the conviction.  Counseling can also be required.

    From there, the consequences of more serious DUI offenses also get more serious.  Fines get higher.  You can lose your driver’s license for a year or even longer.  There can be more jail time.  An ignition interlock device may be required for your vehicle.  And depending on the offense, there may be a felony conviction as well.

    The Reality Without The Drama: Criminal Sentencing Guidelines

    Nearly everyone has watched courtroom shows on TV.  Whether it’s a celebrity judge holding court or an award-winning primetime series, there’s plenty of entertainment and sometimes shocking drama as the verdict – and the sentence – is delivered.

     

    But in real life, the criminal justice system doesn’t work that way.  Sometimes not even the judge has the last word. In Arizona, some sentencing guidelines for criminal penalties are set down as precisely as the IRS sets down the tax laws.  Every category of offense, from drug offenses to domestic violence, and parole violations to felonies, is included in the guidelines.

     

    If you are convicted of a crime in Arizona, the Criminal Code Sentencing Chart can give you an idea of the penalty and/or sentence you may be facing.  You may think you know what to do, or what to say in court.  But think:  do you really want to risk it?  This is a situation in which an experienced  criminal defense attorney can help.

     

    At Zachary Law Group, our approach to finding solutions to your legal problems is working together to “Zach-It!”  We offer a FREE 30-minute case evaluation, so it’s probably in your best interest to contact us right away.  The sooner you do, the sooner we can begin establishing and defending your legal rights.
