It is unlawful for a person to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle in this state if the person has an alcohol concentration as follows within two hours of driving or being in actual physical control of the vehicle and the alcohol concentration results from alcohol consumed either before or while driving or being in actual physical control of the vehicle: 1. 0.15 or more but less than 0.20. {Extreme DUI} 2. 0.20 or more. {Super Extreme DUI} (Cited in Part from Arizona State Legislature Website)

Gilbert DUI Defense Options (first offense Extreme DUI): The fact that you were charged with a crime does not make you guilty. A charge is not a conviction.

You could face (for first offense) minimum 30 days jail and up to 6 months; have your vehicle impounded; be required to use an Ignition interlock device on your automobile; have your driver’s license suspended up to 90 days, be required to attend alcohol or drug treatment program; be put on probation; be subject to court ordered fines, fees, or restitution depending on your case. A second DUI or third DUI or more carry devastating punishments including extended jail and prison sentences for convictions. B. Ignore it. If you fail to appear for your court date on the required time and day scheduled, a warrant for your arrest will be issued by the court. C. Show up to court unrepresented by a good private practice AZ criminal defense or AZ DUI Attorney. This is risky and dangerous, and not recommended by most criminal defense or DUI lawyers. The results can lead you to a conviction fast. The prosecution knows the court’s protocol, how to argue your case, how to get you to incriminate you, and allow you to incriminate yourself, and how to make their case against you stronger. They will ignore any weaknesses, flaws, or any violations of your rights. D. Hire a reputable and experienced DUI attorney who defends extreme DUI cases often in Gilbert Court often.
