Frequently Asked Questions
Under A.R.S. § 28-1381, the legal blood alcohol concentration limit is 0.08% for drivers 21 and over, 0.04% for commercial vehicle drivers, and 0.00% for drivers under 21.

An experienced South Mountain Village DUI attorney can challenge these charges.
A first-offense standard DUI under A.R.S. § 28-1381 in Arizona carries: a minimum 10 consecutive days in jail (9 can be suspended with completion of treatment), fines and fees exceeding $1,500, a 90-day license suspension, mandatory ignition interlock device, and DUI screening.

Aggravated DUI under A.R.S. § 28-1383 is a class 4 felony in Arizona triggered when: a DUI occurs on a suspended license, you have two prior DUI convictions within 84 months, a passenger under 15 is in the vehicle, or you are driving the wrong way.

Arizona's implied consent law under A.R.S. § 28-1321 means that driving on Arizona roads constitutes consent to chemical testing if lawfully arrested.

However, a South Mountain Village DUI attorney may be able to challenge whether the initial traffic stop or arrest was lawful.
