Arizona DUI Laws: The Consequences of a Conviction
A DUI conviction in Arizona carries automatic penalties that affect every aspect of your life. Beyond the legal punishment, you’ll likely face higher insurance premiums, challenges in securing jobs or promotions, and lasting damage to your reputation.
The severity of your DUI penalty in Scottsdale, AZ depends on factors like:
- Your blood alcohol concentration (BAC)
- Whether you had drugs or prescription medications in your system
- If there were an accident or physical injury
- The presence of minors or other passengers
- Any prior DUI convictions
You could be facing:
- First-Time DUI: 1 day to 6 months in jail, $1,500–$3,500 in fines, alcohol counseling, community service, license suspension, and ignition interlock (6 months to 18 months).
- Second DUI: 30+ days jail, $3,500+ fines, license revocation, ignition interlock device, counseling, SR-22 High Risk Insurance, probation, community service.
- Extreme DUI: At least 30 days in jail (up to 6 months), fines of $2,800+, license suspension, mandatory ignition interlock, and possible community service.
- Super Extreme DUI: Minimum 45 days in jail, $3,250+ in fines, license suspension, and extended ignition interlock requirements.

Can I Go to Jail for a DUI Offense in Arizona?
In every case, yes. Jail time is mandatory for all DUI convictions in Arizona, including first DUI offenses. A first-time DUI typically comes with a 10-day sentence. However, an experienced DUI attorney in Scottsdale, AZ can often reduce that to as little as one day, and possibly only a few hours, in jail, if the case can’t be dismissed completely, or resolved as something other than a DUI offense.
However, the court can impose much longer sentences if aggravating factors are present, such as:
- High BAC levels
- Accidents with injuries or property damage
- Minors in the vehicle
- Multiple prior DUI convictions
Working with an experienced Scottsdale DUI Defense Attorney like Brian Sloan can help you contest the prosecution’s evidence, negotiate reduced penalties, and, in many cases, avoid lengthy jail terms altogether.
