Phoenix Felony Aggravated DUI Defense Attorney
Charged with Felony Aggravated DUI in Phoenix?
When an individual is considered a “repeat offender” in Arizona, the DUI penalties ramp up quickly. If you have been charged with a 3rd DUI offense within a 7 year period, you will be charged with a Class 4 Felony. This is an extremely serious legal situation, and a conviction demands a 4 month prison sentence among other penalties. Any felony conviction is a life-changing event, as you lose certain rights when you are a convicted felon. For example, you will not be allowed to own a firearm, or to vote until you have completed the probation part of your penalty, up to 10 years. The fines are extremely high, in fact you may owe up to $150,000 in fines, and if you own your car at the time of your arrest, it could be forfeited. It is likely that you will lose your driver’s license for 3 years in a conviction for this charge. Aggravated DUI can also be the charge if you were arrested with a child under the age of 15 in the car. This is also a felony charge, and you will be facing extreme penalties if you are arrested for a DUI under these circumstances. If you have been arrested and charged with a felony DUI, it is crucial that you contact a Phoenix aggravated DUI defense lawyer as quickly as possible after your arrest.
