Representing Clients Charged With An Aggravated DUI in Arizona

In Arizona, an individual can be charged with aggravated DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs) when certain factors are present. These include cases in which an individual allegedly drives under the influence. At the same time,his or her driver’s license is suspended/revoked, commits a third or subsequent DUI within seven years, has a child who is 15 years old or younger in the vehicle at the time of the alleged DUI, or commits a DUI offense when an ignition interlock device (IID) has been installed on the car.

Aggravated DUI is a felony in Arizona, and the penalties for a conviction are harsh. You could face prison time, your driver’s license loss, thousands of dollars in fines and fees, and mandatory IID installation on your vehicle.

What are the Penalties for an Aggravated DUI in Arizona?

As previously mentioned, the penalties associated with an aggravated DUI conviction in Arizona are harsh. They include:

  • Driver’s license suspension of three years
  • Four months in prison (mandatory)
  • Mandatory enrollment and attendance in Substance Abuse Screening and 36 Classes
  • Ignition interlock device (IID) installed on your vehicle for two years
  • Up to 3.75 years in prison
  • Thousands of dollars in associated fines, court costs, and fees

If you operate a commercial vehicle as part of your employment, you will be unable to do so for several years following an aggravated DUI conviction.
