Arizona DUI Penalties

Phoenix DUI Defense Attorney

The penalties that a driver may face if convicted of DUI (driving under the influence) in Phoenix, Arizona will vary depending on a number of factors. The defendant's prior history of DUI convictions, if any, will have an impact, as well as his or her specific blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and any other aggravating factors, such as involvement in an injury accident or having a child in the car at the time of the offense. Though the penalties may vary, they will most often include imprisonment, fines, court fees, license suspension, probation and community service. An ignition interlock device may also be required after the driver has his or her license reinstated.
