First DUI Offense in Scottsdale
Arizona DUI Defense Lawyer
Under Arizona law, it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher. If you are an underage driver, any BAC above .00 can result in DUI charges thanks to the state's zero-tolerance laws. Whether you're underage or not, you will be facing some serious consequences for a first DUI offense.
Call the Law Offices of Randall J. Craig 24/7 to enlist the experienced DUI attorney you need if you've been charged with drunk driving in Arizona.
Penalties for a First DUI Offense
According to the law, if you are found to be in control of a vehicle with a BAC of .08 or higher or are found to be impaired by any amount of alcohol or drugs, you could be arrested and charged with driving under the influence. This is considered a Class 1 misdemeanor, so long as there are no aggravating factors.
For a first offense, you will be facing the following penalties:
- Between 24 hours and six months in jail
- Fines from $250 to $2,500
- Potential community service
- Up to a year-long driver's license suspension
- Mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device
If you have a BAC of .15 or higher, you will face charges for extreme DUI, which can carry more severe penalties and consequences. Additionally, if there was any accident that led to property damage or injury, you will face further repercussions.

I paid him $5,000 to do quick trial after firing my old lawyer. It only took him 3 days to get ready. We won and he sent me $1,500 back telling me since it only took him 3 days, the balance of the retainer was owed me. Wow. Never heard of that before! Very refreshing! We won too! I knew we would. Good guy, good lawyer.- Former Client

Dear Randall:
I am sure you do not remember me, but you represented me in my case. I was a heroin addict and have not been clean for over 4 years. I don’t think I have ever properly thanked you. You really fought hard for me and thanks to you believing in me, I really have turned my life around. There is not a day that goes by I do not live with regret. However I really am working hard on that thing we call “forgiveness”. Thank you for everything. I truly believe you are the best lawyer around!
