One of the first things that 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. 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 Payson DUI defense attorney to protect your rights and enable you make 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.
Arizona has some of the harshest DUI penalties in the country, even for first time DUI offenses. Possible consequences include:
If you have been charged with a first-offense DUI, you will be facing the above consequences if convicted, even if you have an otherwise clean driving record. It is imperative to find a DUI attorney with a track record of success to fight for you. An aggressive defense offers your best chance at a favorable outcome, such as getting evidence suppressed, keeping your driving privileges, having the DUI charge reduced to a lesser offense or having the DUI charge dismissed altogether.
