Arizona DUI laws are some of the strictest in the nation. This is even more so in the case of “extreme DUI” charges, when police allege a BAC (blood alcohol content) level of .15 to .199. Extreme DUI blood alcohol content levels are approximately double those of a “regular DUI.” If you are convicted of extreme DUI in Tempe or anywhere in Arizona, you face stiff fines, penalties, and consequences.

An experienced, proven-effective, Tempe DUI attorney can help prevent the worst outcome and enhance your chances at a best-case scenario: reduction of charges, dismissal of charges, or acquittal at trial.
Attorney Craig Rosenstein spares no effort in evaluation and investigation of an extreme DUI case. Examination of every detail through aggressive DUI defense strategies is most likely to bring about the best outcome.
Mr. Rosenstein approaches each Tempe area “aggressive DUI” case with the assumption that it will go to trial. Often, the prosecutor reviews the information presented by Mr. Rosenstein and makes an acceptable offer before the case goes to court. The prosecutor also knows that Mr. Rosenstein will go to trial on behalf of an extreme DUI defendant if necessary.
Rosenstein Law Group has a known record of many acquittals and dismissals in drunk driving cases, even when high BAC levels were alleged by police. Our clients were arrested in area communities such as Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tempe, throughout Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima counties.

An extreme DUI as defined in Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 28-1382 is to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.15 or more but less than 0.20 within two hours of driving, and the alcohol concentration results from alcohol consumed before or while being an actual physical control of the vehicle. Note that you do not have to have been driving a car to be arrested for an extreme DUI in Tempe; it is enough to be in physical control of the vehicle to be charged with this crime.
If your BAC was measured at .15 to .199, about twice the .08 regular DUI BAC, and you are convicted, you will be considered an immediate danger to the public. Your penalties for conviction will most likely include the following:
If you are convicted a second time for extreme DUI, you can expect to spend 120-180 days in jail (required minimum: 60 days), and your vehicle may be forfeited permanently. Were your charges at the super extreme DUI level of BAC .20 or greater? Call Rosenstein Law Group immediately to speak with a Tempe super extreme DUI lawyer.
The penalties connected to an extreme DUI conviction in Arizona increase if this is not your first DUI in the last seven years. If you were convicted before, your punishment will increase to a mandatory minimum of 120 days in jail and over $3,500 in fees, plus one year of driver’s license revocation. For a third or subsequent DUI conviction in seven years, the penalties are further increased to a felony charge, with greater jail time and fines.
In addition to the penalties listed above, you could face other negative repercussions from an extreme DUI on your record. You will have to pay significantly more for your car insurance, for example – most likely leading to thousands of dollars in extra costs. If you have a business license or a professional certification, you also risk losing your license when the board discovers your extreme DUI violation. This can have significant consequences on your reputation, career and finances.
If you are convicted of a felony for an aggravated extreme DUI or a third or subsequent offense, you will be subjected to more significant jail time and fines. You will also lose the right to bear arms and vote in the United States. If you have custody of a child from a divorce, an extreme DUI could also be used against you to fight for a different parenting plan – one where you have less time with your child. An aggressive DUI defense lawyer can protect you from all of these repercussions and more as much as possible.
