Chandler, AZ DUI Penalties

A DUI conviction in Arizona can have far-reaching consequences that extend beyond legal penalties. In addition to the obvious legal consequences, having a DUI on your record can lead to higher insurance premiums, trouble getting hired and promoted, and it can be a detriment to your reputation. 

It’s also worth noting that Arizona essentially has a zero-tolerance policy for drivers under 21 caught with alcohol in their systems. Underage drivers can face harsher penalties than adult drivers if found guilty of driving under the influence, especially concerning their ability to continue driving.

The severity of penalties for DUI convictions varies depending on several factors. These include whether the case involved an accident or physical injury, passengers in the vehicle, the Defendant’s blood alcohol level, the presence of drugs or medications in the driver’s blood test, and any prior DUI convictions. Repeat offenders face much harsher penalties, which significantly increase the potential fines and fees, mandatory jail or prison time, and an extended period of an Ignition Interlock Device requirement.

In Chandler, AZ, a First-Time DUI, is subject to the following penalties:

  • 1 day to 6 months in jail
  • Fines and fees between $1,500 and $3,800
  • Possible Community Service
  • Alcohol Counseling
  • License Suspension
  • Interlock for 6 months to 1 1/2 years

Extreme DUI convictions in Arizona come with harsh penalties, including a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of six months in jail for a first offense, along with a minimum fine of $2,800, license suspension, mandatory interlock installation, and possible community service. Those with a blood alcohol level above .200 face even more severe penalties, with a minimum jail sentence of 45 days and minimum fines and fees totaling $3,300 or more.

Aggravated DUI, a felony offense, has even more severe consequences, including a minimum jail sentence of four months in prison and a maximum of 3.75 years. Additionally, those convicted of Aggravated DUI must pay a minimum of $4,500 in fines and fees, have their driving privileges revoked for three years, and use an interlock device for at least two years.

If you want the best outcome for your DUI case, it’s imperative to work with a knowledgeable DUI Defense Lawyer who specializes in DUI Defense Representation. Public Defenders and inexperienced lawyers may lack the expertise to handle your case effectively.

Sloan can provide the support you need to explore your legal options and build a strong defense strategy that may lead to reduced charges or dismissal of your case.

The legal consequences of driving under the influence in Arizona can be life-changing. One mandatory penalty is jail time, where judges must impose minimum jail terms upon conviction. For first-time offenders, the mandatory minimum jail sentence is ten consecutive days, however, there are ways to reduce that down to no less than one actual day in jail. Still, judges can impose longer sentences for aggravating factors such as a high Blood Alcohol Level, passengers in the vehicle, minors in the vehicle, accidents, and prior criminal history.
