There are several scenarios in which a person can be charged with an aggravated DUI. The most frequent situation that gives rise to an aggravated DUI is when a person is arrested for a regular DUI while their driver’s license is suspended, revoked or restricted. This type of DUI charge is very common and can occur even if it is the first time a person has been arrested for a DUI, OUI or other related charges.
The second most common scenario in which a person can be charged with an aggravated DUI is when it is the third time they have been arrested for a DUI within an 84-month (seven-year) period. Often, a person will be charged with an aggravated DUI stemming from previous out-of-state DUI convictions. Matthew Lopez Law has found that it is common for people to be wrongfully charged with an aggravated DUI based on previous DUI convictions, occurring outside of Arizona, that would not have resulted in convictions had they been in Arizona. If this is the case, you should not be charged with an aggravated DUI, and Matthew Lopez Law will fight to have it dismissed or reduced to a lesser charge.
A person who has been convicted of an aggravated DUI will not only have a felony conviction on their criminal record, they will be sentenced to four months in prison, complete alcohol education, serve a one-year license revocation, incur fines of approximately $5,500, be placed probation and have to install an interlock device for 24 months.
