DUI

According to strict ARIZONA DUI LAWS, you could be fined as much as
$150,000, spend more than 10 years in prison and lose your license for
3 years if you are convicted of a felony ARIZONA DUI.
First time offenders are not off the hook though. Even if this is your
first DUI offense, you may have to pay fines and spend time behind
bars as well.
You could lose your license right away after your drunk driving
arrest. In fact, you only have 15 days from the date of your arrest to
request a MVD hearing. If you don't make this request on time, your
license will be suspended.

In your criminal case, your ARIZONA DUI can be prosecuted in one of
two ways: either by one's driving ability being impaired to the
slightest degree as the result of consuming alcohol (or other drugs),
or by violating the "PER SE" law, and having a blood alcohol level of
.08% or greater within two hours of driving. That means the
prosecution only has to prove that you were either over the legal
limit, or that your driving was impaired by alcohol.
