• Felony Aggravated DUI – If you have multiple DUI offenses or were arrested with a child in the car, penalties include prison time, long-term license revocation, and mandatory alcohol treatment programs.

How We Defend DUI Cases

Many people assume DUI charges are unbeatable, but that’s not true. At Slugocki Law, we analyze every aspect of your case to find weaknesses in the prosecution’s arguments. Common defense strategies include:
• Challenging the Traffic Stop – Did the officer have reasonable suspicion to pull you over?
• Breathalyzer & Blood Test Issues – Were proper testing procedures followed? Can the results be challenged?
• Field Sobriety Test Inaccuracies – Officers frequently misinterpret or improperly conduct these tests.
• Rising BAC Defense – Your BAC may have increased between the time of driving and testing.
• Violation of Rights – If law enforcement violated your rights, evidence might be inadmissible.

Recent Case Results

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What should I do if I’m pulled over for suspected DUI?
• Remain calm and be respectful to the officer.
• Do not admit to drinking or provide unnecessary details.
• You have the right to remain silent and should request a lawyer immediately.
• You must provide your license and registration, but you do not have to perform field sobriety tests.

Can I refuse a breathalyzer test in Arizona?

Arizona has implied consent laws, meaning refusal results in an automatic one-year license suspension. However, refusal can also prevent the state from obtaining BAC evidence against you.

How long does a DUI stay on my record in Arizona?
DUI convictions in Arizona stay on your record. Arizona law does not allow for expungement of records for a DUI. Arizona does allow a criminal record to be sealed. A class 1 misdemeanor such as a DUI can be sealed after three years after all the terms and conditions of the sentence that were imposed by the court were completed.
