How Does The Point System Work With A DUI?

If someone was convicted of a DUI, or if the attorney was able to negotiate it down from a DUI to maybe something like reckless driving, then in both instances the person would get eight points added to their driving record.

This would trigger the requirement for them to attend traffic survival school, although it would not delete the points from their record once they completed the traffic survival school, so they would still have eight points on their record.

If they got any additional points, anywhere between eight and twelve points total because there was some other sort of traffic violation, then that may lead to an additional license suspension which would be three to six months or maybe even a year depending on how many points were incurred for additional traffic violations that happened out of the separate incidents.

Traffic Violations Can Sometimes Work In Conjunction With A DUI

This would depend on how the Motor Vehicle Division interpreted it, and it would completely be up to them whether they wanted to take into consideration a DUI in conjunction with other civil traffic violations that occurred during the same incident.

The Motor Vehicle Division might want to accumulate the number of points to lead to a larger suspension, or consider it as the most points out of this incident came from a DUI which is eight points, so they would just add eight points to the person’s driving record.

There is not necessarily a clear rule, so sometimes they go back and forth. The different agents at the Motor Vehicle Division have not given a clear answer to this, although they tend to lean towards only giving points for the DUI if the person was convicted of a DUI as well as other civil traffic violations.

“I am one of only a handful of Phoenix DUI Lawyers that focuses solely on DUI Defense representation.”

I have spent my entire career focused on Arizona DUI Defense representation, having personally defended over 4,100+ DUI clients in the past 18+ years.

If you’re looking for a divorce attorney, tax attorney, or civil attorney, I can comfortably say, "I’m not the one for you."

Coming up with traditional, as well as outside-the-box motions and defenses for my clients, often with good results, is the hallmark of my practice.

Lawyers that say they are "aggressive" or "will fight for you" are a dime a dozen. They use these phrases because they think people want to hear them. Being "aggressive" isn’t the same as being good and is often used to put on a show to hide the fact that they aren’t doing anything meaningful for the client.

The same is true for the lawyers claiming to do DUI Defense, Criminal Cases, Accident Cases, and Divorces. A Jack-of-all-Trades is a master of none! By handling all sorts of cases, they take away from their ability to truly focus on DUIs, and keep up to date on the latest changes in Phoenix DUI Defense Representation.

What I offer is intelligent, quality DUI Defense at an exceptional price.

I have not only taught other lawyers how to do DUI Defense Representation at statewide seminars, but I produced DUI Legal Guides used by defense lawyers across Arizona.

I am one of Arizona's most award-winning DUI Defense Lawyers, recognized nationally, including in a 2022 issue of USA Today.

There are no other private DUI Defense Lawyers in Arizona that have personally defended more DUI cases than I have. And as a bonus, I offer a flat rate for my legal services without any hidden charges. This guarantees that I offer some of the most competitive rates among all Arizona DUI Attorneys, while being the preeminent leader in the field of DUI Defense Representation.

Over the years, countless people have come to me after discovering that their first lawyer made a mistake, gave them false hope or false promises, or simply took their money and didn't do much to advance their case. And you would be surprised at how often this happens.

So, instead of wasting time and money on the wrong DUI Defense Attorney, do yourself a favor and get the proven and documented best DUI Lawyer in Phoenix and the surrounding areas of Maricopa County.
