You may be aware of some, but not all of the potential consequences of a DUI conviction. As you decide how to deal with your Phoenix DUI arrest, whether it was a first-time arrest or a repeat offense arrest, it is important to weigh in the balance of the high stakes at hand.
Phoenix Drunk Driving Attorney Arizona
In Arizona, as in other states, DUI is considered to be a serious crime. It is not simply an "exaggerated traffic ticket." If you are convicted of drunk driving charges in Phoenix, you will likely face most if not all of the following consequences:
- Jail time, even for a first offense.
- Ignition interlock device required to be installed in your car. You will not be able to start your car without blowing into the device.
- Higher insurance rates: for some people, this may threaten to make auto insurance almost not affordable. Over the years, the sum total of increased insurance would perhaps have paid your attorney's fees to defend yourself after a Phoenix DUI arrest.
- License suspension: up to 90 days, even for a first offense. For repeat offenses and for underage drivers, it may be much longer.
- Fines and fees: These alone can add up to thousands of dollars.
