DUI Sentencing In Phoenix, AZ
After a finding of guilt by plea, bench trial, or jury verdict, sentencing follows. Arizona has some of the toughest DUI laws on the books, including zero tolerance for underage drinking and driving. At a minimum, a DUI sentence includes court fines and assessments (in the thousands), incarceration (jail or prison, depending), and suspended driver’s license. With probation, there are additional costs: drug and alcohol testing, counseling, and installation of an ignition interlock device (IID) in the vehicle. There will be a criminal record with long-lasting stigma. Is this a second or third offense? Another reason to aggressively defend against DUI charges – repeat offenders, or recidivists, are more severely punished. Learn more about how the state of Arizona defines extreme DUI, super extreme DUI and aggravated felony DUI.
