  3. Sipe, Billy: Different DUI / DWI Offenses: There are several different DWI offenses which can be charged. Any DWI related offense is very serious and requires experienced and expert representation. Driving While Impaired to the Slightest Degree, A.R.S. §28-1381(A)(1)--"DUI" It is unlawful to drive, or to be in actual physical control, of a vehicle while under the influence of any intoxication liquor, any drug, or any combination of liquor or drugs. It is not necessary to be "drunk" nor does this charge require a blood, breath or urine test. The State is only required to prove that a person's ability to operate their vehicle was impaired "to the slightest degree". Driving With an Blood Alcohol Concentration of .08% or Above, A.R.S. §28-1381(A)(2)--"DWI" It is unlawful to drive, or to be in actual physical control, of a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% [.04% if commercial vehicle, A.R.S. §28-1381(A)(4)] or higher within two hours of driving or being in actual physical control. The blood alcohol concentration must be a result of alcohol consumed either prior to driving or while driving, or being in actual physical control. DWI-Drugs, A.R.S. §28-1381(A)(3) It is unlawful to drive, or to be in actual physical control, of a vehicle while there is an illegal drug, or its metabolite, in the body. The State is not required to prove impairment nor is the State required to prove a specific amount of drug in the body. The State is only required to prove that an illegal drug was present in the body while driving or being in actual physical control. Driving While Under the Extreme Influence of Intoxicating Liquor, A.R.S. §28-1382--"Extreme DWI" It is unlawful to drive, or to be in actual physical control, of a vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .15% or higher within two hours of driving or being in actual physical control. The blood alcohol concentration must be a result of alcohol consumed either prior to driving or while driving, or being in actual physical control. The "Extreme DWI" charge does not require the State to prove that the person was "really drunk", only that the blood alcohol concentration was .15% or higher. The "Extreme DWI" statute mandates substantially increased punishment for a higher blood alcohol concentration. Aggravated Driving While Under the Influence of Intoxicating Liquor, A.R.S. §28-1383--"Felony DWI" There are three different "Felony DWI" offenses: If a person commits any DUI/DWI offense as defined in A.R.S. §28-1381 or 28-1382, and the person's driver's license, or privilege to drive, is suspended, canceled, revoked, refused, or restricted. A.R.S. §28-1383(A)(1). If a person commits any DUI/DWI offense as defined in A.R.S. §28-1381 or 28-1382, and within a sixty month period (5 years) has two or more prior DUI or DWI convictions. A.R.S. §28-1383(A)(2). If a person commits any DUI/DWI offense as defined in A.R.S. §28-1381 or 28-1382 while a person under fifteen years of age is present in the vehicle. It is also unlawful to operate an aircraft, watercraft or water skis while under the influence of intoxicating liquor.
  4. Hamp, Shawn: Bad things can happen to good people. If you have been arrested and suspected of a DUI or drunk driving, it may be the first time that you have ever faced criminal charges. If it’s your second or third offense, you know that the stakes have been substantially raised. Sometimes the fear and confusion can become paralyzing and overwhelming when uncertainty and fear creep into your mind. That is the time when you need to speak with a qualified and experienced attorney the most. Will I lose my license? How much jail time will I do? How will I lose my car? An attorney can explain to you many of the questions you may have when you are charged with the crime of DUI. Arizona has some of the strictest and toughest mandatory DUI sentencing laws in the country. (Click to see a chart of mandatory minimum Misdemeanor DUI penalties). A conviction for DUI will result in mandatory jail time, fines, and your driving privileges suspended. It could also result in jail fees, community “restitution”/work service, an ignition interlock device being installed on your vehicle and alcohol counseling, all at your own expense.
  5. Sears, Elana: Upon arrest or as soon as you become aware that the police or another state agency is looking for or investigating you, or if you believe that you may have committed a crime. The earlier you contact a lawyer the better. An attorney can intervene with the police and either prevent an arrest or, if you are going to be arrested, arrange for your surrender at a time and in a manner that minimizes embarrassment to you or your family. Retaining a lawyer also prevents the police from questioning you.   Trying to solve your legal issues without establishing the particular characteristic of your potential legal problem can be a waste of time, money and effort. You need a detailed analysis for your unique situation. In certain cases, improper determinations can cost you your rights under the law. For instance: Many if not all types of cases have deadlines, if these deadlines are not met you can be barred from any sort of defense or relief.
