First Time DUI Offense Out of Arizona

One of the first things people want to know about a DUI arrest is what will happen if they are found guilty. In short, Arizona has very harsh penalties for DUI offenses, even for first-time misdemeanor offenders, which will be outlined below.

Driver’s License Suspension

But first things first, the “penalties” of a DUI arrest may begin shortly after your arrest, before you even have your first court date. Many people are not aware that you may face a 90-day or 1-year driver’s license suspension beginning 15 days after your arrest. With the short timeline, the sooner you contact an experienced DUI attorney to guide you through the process, the better.

Having a qualified DUI attorney to protect your rights and enable you to make an informed decision may help you avoid not only jail time and license suspension. But may also lessen the likelihood of long-term implications for your employment, professional licenses, housing, security clearance, and insurance rates.

The Penalties for a First Time DUI Offense in Arizona

Arizona has some of the harshest DUI penalties in the country, even for first-time DUI offenses. Possible consequences include:

  • 10 to 180 days of jail
  • Driver’s license suspension
  • Up to 5 years of probation
  • Substantial fines and fees
  • Ignition interlock device requirement
  • Alcohol and substance abuse treatment classes
  • Permanent criminal record
