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 ended up spending twice as much for bumbling incompetence. I received more good advice FREE from Randall than the bum I paid. If I need a Lawyer again in AZ, it will be Randall.”
    I screwed up bad by not getting this lawyer. He gave me a flat rate which I thought was a little high for what seemed like a slam dunk case. I stupidly went for another lawyer's sales pitch who promised to go after corrupt cops (he didn't). I ended up spending twice as much for bumbling incompetence. I received more good advice FREE from Randall than the bum I paid. If I need a Lawyer again in AZ, it will be Randall.

    “His assistant Jennifer Prescott is amazing and between the two of them I was always informed. And they always kept me calm. Randy saved my life and saved my families life as well. Thank you Randy”
    I was facing 50+ years in prison for false charges. Randy believed in me. My public defender tried to convince me that Jail and years of intense probation were my only option. I then hired Randy. 3 months later my case was dismissed and I am now at home with my family and get to watch my son grow up. His assistant Jennifer Prescott is amazing and between the two of them I was always informed. And they always kept me calm. Randy saved my life and saved my families life as well. Thank you Randy. I have a "checkered past" to say the least and have dealt with over 10 attorneys in my life. Randy is head and shoulders above the rest! THANK YOU RANDY!!

    Having never committed a crime, ending up in jail was a humiliating experience for me. His staff kept me informed, Mr. Craig kept me calm, and in the end he was able to negotiate the right deal for me. He has simple flat rates and doesn't bill you for things like copies and phone calls.
