Extreme DUI charges are more severe than first or second DUI offenses. First of all, they carry mandatory jail terms, and fines in addition to license suspension. That's not to mention that an extreme DUI conviction will remain on your permanent record for life. If you're pulled over and charged with an extreme DUI, it's time to get a lawyer from our Arizona law firm. If you can find or afford and attorney on your own, it is recommended that you look for a DUI lawyer experienced in handling these types of cases. Hiring your own attorney, rather than a court appointed one, typically affords a better defense in an extreme DUI case.

Extreme DUI Penalties

When you meet with your DUI lawyer, he or she will explain what charges are against you and what penalties you may be facing. If your blood or breath alcohol content was greater than 0.15% BAC, you are facing an extreme DUI. This much you know. However, you may not know that an Extreme DUI carries a minimum mandatory jail term of thirty days and fines ranging from $500 to $2500 plus surcharges. In addition to this, you may be placed on probation, have your driver's license suspended, and you'll have to install an ignition interlock device on any personal vehicles for a minimum of one year following the license suspension period. With all of this looming over you, it's important to build a solid defense with your lawyer so that you can avoid conviction altogether or at least minimize some of the penalties that come from such a charge.

Extreme DUI Defense

The first thing your Arizona DUI lawyer can do is attack the accuracy of the breathalyzer machine at the time of your arrest. Many experts agree that breathalyzer machines aren't as accurate as everyone thinks they are. They often give incorrect readings. All your lawyer has to prove is that your breath alcohol content was lower than the statutory minimum to get the charge reduced from an extreme DUI. This may require the testimony of expert witnesses, or at least a review of the arresting officer's police reports that describe the time and the situation in which the test was given.

Conviction and Sentence Reduction

If convicted, your extreme DUI lawyer in Arizona may be able to get your sentences reduced to the absolute minimums, or he or she may be able to convince the judge to put you into a rehabilitation program or treatment center in lieu of a jail term. A more experienced Extreme DUI lawyer will know how to handle such a case so discuss your options with him or her so that you can reduce the charge, escape conviction altogether, or get your sentences reduced so that you can improve your quality of life after your most recent DUI charge.
