DUI Lawyers You Can Trust in Phoenix
The Arizona laws break the severity of a DUI into several categories based on the degree to which the driver is intoxicated and how many times the driver has been convicted. A Phoenix DUI defense lawyer can help you make sense of your situation.
Drivers may face Arizona DUI charges if they are caught driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or more. Studies reveal that a .05 BAC level leaves a driver impaired and thus, .08 is the standard BAC level that results in an Arizona DUI offense conviction in the event that a driver is caught driving while intoxicated.

Arizona DUI Laws
You will face Arizona DUI charges if you are caught driving under the following conditions:
- Driving with a BAC of .08 + within two hours of driving
- Driving with a BAC of .04 + if you hold a commercial drivers license and are operating a commercial vehicle
- Driving with any metabolite of an illegal substance in your body
- Driving under the age of 21 and with any amount of spirituous alcohol in your body
- Driving impaired to any degree as a result of the use of a substance
Consequences of a DUI conviction vary depending on how many times a person has been caught operating a vehicle while being under the influence and the degree of how intoxicated they are.
