Second Offense DUI Attorney in Phoenix, AZ

Reliable and strong legal defense representation against DUI

When charged with a Second Offense DUI in Arizona, it is crucial to understand the serious implications and legal consequences involved. A Second DUI Offense carries extremely harsh penalties that can significantly impact your life. In Arizona, DUI laws are strict, and the penalties for a Second Offense can be lengthy and severe.

Facing a DUI in Arizona demands skilled Legal Counsel. At the Law Offices of Brian D. Sloan, you will find one of the most seasoned Second Offense DUI Lawyers in the state of Arizona, committed to securing the best possible outcome for your case.

What Is a Second DUI in AZ

In Arizona, a Second Offense DUI is defined as Driving Under the Influence (DUI) within seven years from a previous DUI, calculated from the date of arrest to the date of arrest. To be considered a Second Offense DUI in Arizona, the key conditions include the following:

  • An arrest must have occurred for any kind of DUI offense, whether it involves drugs, medications, or alcohol.
  • An individual must have a prior DUI conviction, with a date of arrest within seven years from the date of arrest in the present case, and the statute (law) for the DUI that the person was previously convicted under must match the Arizona DUI laws in effect at that time, if the DUI conviction was obtained outside of Arizona.

Understanding ARS §28-1381 for Second DUI in Arizona

This refers to the Arizona Revised Statute that deals with Second Offense Misdemeanor DUI (Driving Under the Influence) in Arizona. Given the stringent nature of Arizona’s DUI laws, a Second Offense is treated much more severe than a First Offense DUI, with stiffer penalties and harsher minimum Sentencing requirements.

Legal Blood Alcohol Limit

The specific Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit for a Second-Offense DUI in Arizona is the same as for a First-Offense DUI, which is 0.08%. In Arizona, a BAC of 0.08% or higher is considered presumptively legally impaired when operating a motorized vehicle.

Penalties for Second-Time DUI Conviction in Arizona

The potential consequences for a Second Regular DUI sentence in Arizona are serious. They could include the following:

  • 30 days to 6 months of jail time
  • Fines & fees of around $3,500 minimum
  • License Revocation
  • Ignition Interlock Device (IID) for one year
  • Alcohol Counseling & Possible Mothers Against Drunk Driving Class
  • SR-22 High-Risk Insurance required
  • Possible probation for up to five years
  • Community service

“Words alone could never describe the major impact Attorney Brian Sloan has made in my and my family’s life! And, if you’ve ever experienced losing your freedom before or are now faced with losing it, you definitely understand the heartache, fear that one and especially their family endures. My life was literally turned upside down when I was faced with an Aggravated DUI as a result of driving on a suspended license/w priors.

I was facing 6 to 15 years; and my plea offer with a public defender was 6 years prison. Even if my plea offer was much less time, I was determined, with Brian representing and guiding me, to fight my case as scary as it was knowing that pursuing this, I would then be facing 10 or more years should we lose. I was fighting it, because I wanted justice served.

When no one would believe in me, the situation, Brian Sloan did. It was so life shattering and grueling until the very end. But, right at the very end of my case, when I had lost all hope and would be separated from my family and also had lost all trust in the justice system, justice did prevail. My case was completely dismissed! And – I can’t emphasize this enough – was all because of my attorney Brian Sloan representing me. He is straight forward, honest, respected and very good and knowledgeable at what he does. Also, his fees are extremely reasonable especially for the representation that you will get. Brian saved me from a decade in prison – he saved my life. Also, I can now say from experiencing all of this, that even in this day and age, there are judges out there that are for the people when they are innocent.

I cannot end without saying this – Drinking and driving does kill people. It’s almost like going out in public and shooting a loaded gun that could very well take innocent people’s lives. It’s important that we never drink and drive at all. Also know that if you have a suspended license as a result of a prior DUI and get another one, it is a felony and as a felon, you will deal with those consequences for the rest of your life. I lost a 25-year government career and then some because of this.

In Arizona your DUIs are on your record for a life time! There are good people out there just trying to make a good life for themselves and their families. And, we can make that simple, seemingly innocent mistake when we drink and drive that will affect you for the rest of your life.

If you or anyone you know are ever faced with a DUI, I sincerely, highly recommend Brian Sloan as a DUI attorney. Brian, thanks again for everything you have done for me and my family. You’ve been a blessing!”

“I contacted Brian after receiving a DUI; he was very thorough and hones throughout the entire process. His payment package is very reasonable; during the process we received a very reasonable plea agreement. He could have pushed me to pursue the process further and potentially receive more money from me but he was very honest in his assessment and I am happy I took his advice. I would recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.”

“”Thank you” just does not seem adequate enough to convey the appreciation I have for Brian Sloan. Brian made everything more than easy for me and kept everything as simple as possible. He gave me an opportunity and effectively laid down my advantages and disadvantages with support through every obstacle that was in my way until the very end. I’m not taking the words “until the end” lightly. Even a year after my initial case Brian was able to get my case dismissed. He kept his word from the very beginning and I’m so thankful I had the privilege to have Brian represent me. Brian’s knowledge about the legal system is multi-faceted and he is able to do more than the average lawyer. Brian is precise, attentive, honest and trusting. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brian Sloan to any person that is seeking an attorney and counselor at law.”

“As a college graduate, I never saw myself as a person who would make the mistake of getting a DUI, and definitely cannot afford to have an Extreme DUI my record. After reaching out to Brian Sloan, I informed him of my situation, and he was immediately confident that he could help me. He was extremely professional and very communicative with me throughout the entire process. He was able to reduce fines, get my Extreme DUI down to a Regular DUI, and completely erase the speeding charge. He ultimately saved my record and saved me a substantial amount of money while sticking to his word.”

“I would like to share with you the superb experience I had dealing with my DUI Attorney Brian Sloan. I received an Extreme DUI charge, and I did not know what to do. I was facing tremendous fines, jail time and the possibility of losing my employment. I spoke with Mr. Sloan and after I explained my circumstances, he explained how he would defend the case. I was immediately put at ease and understood I was dealing with a true expert and professional. Without Mr. Sloan, I believe I would be sitting in jail right now. Dealing with a DUI in Arizona is definitely not a do it yourself project. You should definitely contact Mr. Sloan.”

“I was arrested for an aggravated DUI back in October. My DUI was aggravated due to a suspended license. I originally went with a public defender that got me a plea agreement of four months in jail and a class six designated felony. This had my world turned upside down.

My mother looked up criminal DUI attorneys and the first one we had a consultation with was Brian Sloan. Brian immediately put me at ease and said he can get me a misdemeanor DUI with little or no jail time. And that is exactly what he did. He went above and beyond for me and with each court visit he had a newer and better agreement until he got me a misdemeanor DUI with 45 days jail with work release. At first I had mixed feelings on the 45 days but the misdemeanor was what my real goal was I did not want a felony on my record. But the very next morning Mr. Sloan called me with the greatest news ever a misdemeanor with ONE day in jail and possibly time served.

I would not recommend anyone else for a criminal or misdemeanor DUI. Brian Sloan is an aggressive and very knowledgeable attorney who will help you and work with you every step of the way. Thank you for what you did for me Brian and making this extremely tough time for me bearable.”

“Over the summer, I was out with some friends celebrating and had a few drinks. I had the least amount of drinks and decided that I would take everyone home. I made a wide turn and was pulled over by an officer. When he came to the window of my car, he asked a few questions. I was terrified and answered all of his questions. I was then taken in for a dui and I felt completely lost. The next day- I immediately started researching attorneys. I called The Law Offices of Brian Sloan and he immediately answered my call. I explained my situation and I met with him shortly thereafter. He explained the entire process to me and he even did a best and worst case scenario of how things could work out. DUI’s are scary and he did his best at giving me more peace of mind.
I feel blessed because my charges were actually dropped a few weeks later. The courts dismissed my charges for no reasonable likelihood of conviction/ no blood test evidence above the legal limit. Brian contacted me right away to share the news and he even refunded my payment. He then e-mailed me the paperwork from the courts that the charge was dropped.

I made a promise to myself that I will never drink and drive. It is much cheaper to just call a cab. If you do end up learning the lesson the hard way, I would call Brian. There is so much information and it can be confusing and scary, Brian can help make the process easier.”

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

I have spent my entire career SOLELY focused on Arizona DUI Defense Representation, having personally defended more than 4,400 Driving Under the Influence (DUI) clients in the past 19+ years.

If you’re looking for a Divorce Attorney, Tax Attorney, Civil Attorney, etc., I can comfortably say, "I’m not the one for you." I ONLY defend DUI cases in most of Maricopa County, Arizona.

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 it is a proven advertising phrase. 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, and Criminal Cases, and Accident Cases, and Divorces, etc. 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 DUI Defense Representation.

What I offer is intelligent, quality DUI Defense at an exceptional price. Unlike many other law firms, if you hire The Law Offices of Brian D. Sloan, you actually get me representing you, doing all the work, and working the case. You aren’t hiring one guy with all the experience, but getting the underling with very little knowledge or experience.

I work seven days a week on my client’s cases, and spend hours laying all my thoughts out for my clients in writing, so they can understand their options, and my recommendations. No other DUI Lawyer in the state does this. I try to do what I can to go above-and-beyond for my clients. I hate when the businesses I deal with nickel-and-dime me with hidden costs, and I take pride in not doing that to my clients.

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

I am one of Arizona's most award-winning DUI Defense Lawyers, as well as being recognized nationally. I was the only DUI Defense Lawyer in the United States named a "Power Lawyer" in a 2022 issue of USA Today

There are no other private Lawyers in Arizona that have personally defended more DUI cases than I have. And as a bonus, I offer a very reasonable flat rate for my legal services, with a payment plan, and without any hidden charges. This guarantees that I offer some of the most competitive rates among all Arizona DUI Attorneys, while being a well-documented and 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 well-recognized best DUI Lawyer in Phoenix and the surrounding areas of Maricopa County.

You can reach me on my personal cell phone at 480-720-7839 for a Free ‘In Depth’ Consultation.

I personally defend DUI cases in urban Maricopa County City, Town, and Justice Courts, including:

Ahwatukee / Agua Fria / Arcadia Biltmore / Avondale / Buckeye / Chandler / Country Meadows / Desert Ridge / Dreamy Draw / Downtown / East Mesa / El Centro / Encanto / Gilbert / Glendale / Goodyear / Guadalupe / Highland / Kyrene / Litchfield Park / Maryvale / McDowell Mountain / Mesa / Moon Valley / North Mesa / Peoria / Phoenix / Queen Creek / San Marcos / San Tan / South Mountain / Scottsdale / Tempe / University Lakes / West McDowell / West Mesa / White Tank

For any other Courts in the State of Arizona, including Felony cases, I would recommend my associates on The Arizona DUI Team, whom I work closely with, but I am not the one personally representing the client.
