Felony DUI

Arizona Felony DUI Defense

Arizona is not soft on crime. Penalties for a felony DUI conviction can include ignition interlock, prison time (no county jail or workhouse), up to $150,000 in fines and a three-year loss of driving privileges. Clearly, the state's lawmakers do not take this charge lightly.

An Experienced and Aggressive Defense of Your Rights

At Billar & Donald, we represent people in Maricopa County and from across the state who have been arrested for and charged with felony drunk driving. In Arizona, there are three circumstances where drivers are charged with felony DUI, including:

• Receiving a DUI while you have a suspended license or a revoked license
• Receiving a third DUI within seven years (if you were convicted on both previous occasions and regardless of the state you were convicted in)
• Receiving a DUI while driving with any children under the age of 15 in the car with you

One of the most beneficial strategies to use in any DUI case is to request an administrative hearing about your driver's license suspension. This has to be done within 10 days following your arrest in order to prevent the automatic loss of your driver's license while your criminal case is pending. In addition to helping you keep your license while your case is pending, this proceeding can also be used to get police testimony on the record regarding the circumstances of the traffic stop and the arrest, and the testing methods used, before a trial ever begins.

This will enable us to determine whether there are probable cause issues, procedural mistakes or other flaws in the prosecution's case that can be used in your defense. Even if there are no flaws, this information can still be helpful to your case and contribute to a successful trial strategy.
