Arizona has some of the strictest DUI laws in the United States. Depending on a range of factors, including your level of intoxication, it is possible to be charged with a felony. Under certain circumstances, such as driving a commercial vehicle with a BAC over 0.04 or driving with any alcohol in your system if you are under 21, you can be charged with a DUI. To sum it up, if the officer thinks you are slightly impaired, they can, and often will, arrest you.
In addition, you can receive a DUI if you are under the influence of drugs, even if you are unimpaired and a doctor prescribed them. This includes medical marijuana.

The Agua Fria Justice Court is one of the courts within the Maricopa County Justice Court System. Cases that are commonly heard in Agua Fria Justice Court are criminal traffic violations, DUIs, Reckless Driving, Traffic Violations, and other misdemeanor cases. The process of a DUI case in Agua Fria Justice Court is as follows:
At this stage, you will either plead guilty or not guilty. Additionally, your rights will be explained to you, including the right to hire an attorney. The court will also tell you the maximum possible sentence for your DUI.
The pre-trial conference is where the defense attorney and prosecutor meet and discuss whether the case will go to trial or if it can be resolved with a plea agreement. If you have already hired an attorney, they can attend the conference on your behalf.
At this stage, the judge will ask about the status of the case. This includes inquiring about discovery (the state’s specific evidence against you.) Again, you can skip this hearing if you hire an attorney.
At this stage, the state will typically attempt to resolve the case by offering a plea bargain. If there are any outstanding issues, they will be resolved at this point. Depending on the severity of your charge, you may have to attend.
Barring an appeal, this is the final stage of your process. Your attorney will cross-examine any witness the state uses at your trial. Depending on the severity of your DUI, you may be entitled to a jury trial. You must be present.
