Criminal and Collateral Impact of an Arizona DUI

We handle all levels of drunk driving including DUI defense for out-of-state clients, and do the homework to find out what repercussions your case may have beyond Arizona.

* In Arizona, a conviction for per se DUI (.08 BAC) or "impairment to the slightest degree" is a Class 1 misdemeanor. To an employer or other entity performing a background check, you would be lumped into the same category as assault, burglary, forgery or fraud convictions.

* Your DUI arrest records and conviction will be transparent to law enforcement in your state, as well as your state's department of motor vehicles and your auto insurer. An Arizona conviction will usually count toward any license suspension points system in your state.

* If you are sentenced to serve a jail term, we work with the court to arrange to serve that time in your state if possible.
