Super Extreme DUI

Phoenix Super Extreme DUI Lawyer

Super Extreme DUI Explained

No Arizona statute specifically refers to a “super extreme DUI.” Instead, this is just an informal name widely adopted in the state’s legal spheres. Arizona law defines this offense as driving with a blood alcohol content of over .20%, which is five percentage points above the threshold for extreme DUI. You may also be charged with this offense if you are found to have a BAC over .20% within two hours of operating a motor vehicle. 

Of course, the penalties for super extreme DUI match its name. If convicted of this crime, you could face jail time and home detention, a license suspension, and a hefty fine. The consequences do not end there. You will have to participate in education and treatment programs, use an ignition interlock device (IID), and perform community service, all while dealing with the stigma of a conviction and its potential impact on your career, insurance rates, and more. 

You do not have to sit back and accept this fate, especially if law enforcement and other officials violated your rights or committed forensic errors that skewed blood alcohol test results. You can fight back, and I am here to help you do just that. For over two decades, I have represented numerous clients in DUI cases. I leverage my experience when developing creative defense strategies and work directly with all who turn to The Koplow Law Firm. When you need a super extreme DUI attorney in Phoenix, make my firm your first call.

Is a Super Extreme DUI a Felony?

No, despite its ominous name, it is a class 1 misdemeanor. A common misconception is that if a person’s BAC is high enough, the case can become a felony. This is not true. 

That being said, a super-extreme DUI can become a felony because of aggravating factors, including: 

  • Prior DUI convictions
  • Driving with a suspended license
  • Driving with passengers under the age of 15

Additionally, you could face felony charges if you were driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and got into a wreck that caused a serious injury or someone’s death. 

Super Extreme DUI Penalties

Above, we generally outlined penalties that accompany super extreme DUI convictions. Below are more specific details:

  • Jail time: 45 days minimum 
  • Home detention: 90 days 
  • Fines: $3,250 or more
  • Car impoundment: 30 days
  • License suspension: 90 days minimum
  • IID: 18 months following license reinstatement
  • Community service: 30 hours
  • Counseling and education programs: Up to 36 hours for first-time offenders

What If This Is Your Second or Third Offense? 

Repeat offenses carry even harsher penalties, from increased jail sentences to heftier fines and longer license suspensions. This is true regardless of whether your first or second offense was a standard, extreme, or super extreme DUI.

    "It was miracle!"

    It was miracle!... A lot of people don't really understand the benefit of having an attorney who used to be a prosecutor. They know all the little tricks and scare tactics the state has as opposed to just hiring an attorney who is a little fish in a big pond.

    Lawrence represents very high-profile clients who greatly depend on a good outcome, and this guy will deliver. This is a prosecutors' worse nightmare, and it should be that way if you need an attorney.
