Frequently Asked Questions in Arizona DUI Cases

  1. Will I be able to get my case dismissed because I was not read my rights?
    Probably not. But if you were interrogated after being placed in custody, your statements can not be used against you.
  2. Will I go to jail?
    An experienced attorney may be able to keep you out. I had two alcohol offenses when I was younger.
  3. What will happen to my license if I have a third conviction?
    Your license will be automatically revoked for three years if the prior offenses were within 60 months.
  4. I have one DUI offense within five years, what will become of my license?
    It will be automatically revoked for a minimum of one year.
  5. How many hours of alcohol classes will I have to take?
    Plan on at least 8-48 hours, one two hour session per week. The higher your BAC, the more hours you will have to take.
  6. What will happen if I do not complete the classes or public service ordered by the Court?
    You will go to jail.
  7. I lost my Arizona license. May I obtain a license in another state?
    In most cases, no.
  8. If I obtain an international driver's license, may I drive in STATE, even though my Arizona license is revoked?
    No.
  9. Am I a bad person, because I was arrested for DUI?
    No, but you are well advised never, never smell like alcohol while behind the wheel.
  10. What if I burped within twenty minutes of blowing?
    The breath machine may have read alcohol from your stomach rather than you lungs. The result may be incorrect. A similar problem occurs with dentures.
