2nd-dui - Arizona Criminal & DUI Defense Attorney
HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOUR 2ND DUI IN ARIZONA?
Stop and think for a minute. 2nd DUIs and extreme DUIs are prosecuted more severely, so make sure you protect yourself. There are a few different scenarios for a 2nd DUI in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and the state of Arizona:
Second Offense (Non-Extreme DUI)
It happens more than once; the effects can further tarnish a person's future. Multiple DUI's carry penalties that worsen with each subsequent charge within seven years of the previous. While a first offense can result in severe penalties, multiple offenses significantly raise the DUI penalties you face.
Along with the very severe criminal penalties you may experience, there are a number of other collateral consequences you may face. A Second Offense Non-Extreme DUI on your driving record will result in a revocation of your driving privilege and will most likely affect your ability to gain employment in certain industries.
A Second Offense Non-Extreme DUI can impact a person's professional license through certain licensing boards. It can affect a person's ability to obtain or keep a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). (A second conviction for DUI will result in a lifetime disqualification of a person's CDL.) Penalties for a first conviction are tough, but the criminal penalties for a Second Offense Extreme DUI become exponentially worse, so you want us fighting for you.
