In Arizona, DUIs are a common offense – there were more than 30,000 DUI arrests in 2019 alone. But although DUIs are common, they still hold severe penalties. First-time DUIs can include 10 days to six months in jail, license suspension, probation, ignition interlock installation, and over $3,000 in fines and surcharges. Repeat offenders can face even harsher consequences.
At Surprise Criminal Lawyer, we’ve helped many DUI clients avoid the maximum penalties in their cases.
Ms. C was drinking at a bar with her friends. Eventually, Ms. C and her friends left the bar and got into Ms. C’s car. Ms. C turned on the car to prepare to drive. Unbeknownst to Ms. C, an officer was watching from afar and contacted her just before she drove off. Ms. C was charged with DUI (actual physical control).
Ms. C’s blood results came back with a concentration of .131 alcohol and a significant amount of cocaine. Our Criminal lawyer negotiated with the prosecutor and pointed out defenses to Ms. C’s DUI. The prosecutor refused to budge, but our DUI attorney did not back down and continued to fight for Ms. C by presenting overwhelming evidence in her defense.
CHARGES DROPPED - Our DUI attorney was able to track down text messages and testimony that refuted the State’s allegation that Ms. C intended to drive, even though the car was on and ready to operate. The prosecutor eventually relented and dropped Ms. C’s DUI despite her high BAC result and cocaine in her system.
