When driving in Arizona, make sure that your blood alcohol concentration does not reach 0.08 percent or higher. Otherwise, you will be breaking Arizona DUI law. If you have been arrested by police officers for allegedly violating this law, you need to see an Arizona DUI attorney who can protect your constitutional and legal rights.

You will be required to undergo breath, blood or urine tests to determine your blood alcohol content. If your content level exceeds 0.08 percent, look forward to a possible criminal prosecution and a civil proceeding. Your Arizona DUI lawyer can surely help you go through these legal proceedings.

In your criminal case, the penalties that will possibly be imposed upon you (if either you plead guilty, or you will be found guilty by the court) are imprisonment in jail, fines, suspension of driver’s license and counseling.

The civil case will also proceed notwithstanding the ongoing criminal case against you. Be informed that the result of your civil proceedings will not affect your criminal case.

In your civil proceedings, you and your Arizona lawyer need to appear before the administrative judge at the state’s motor vehicle department. This proceeding determines whether your driver’s license or your driving privilege (if you are not a resident of Arizona) will be suspended.

If you and your Arizona DUI attorney think that the probability of losing your civil case is great, you may agree to the suspension of your driver’s license. One benefit you gain from agreeing to the suspension is that you will no longer be meted with a penalty of driver’s license suspension in your criminal case. And you will also save time and resources if you concur to the suspension.

In all these legal proceedings, an Arizona DUI attorney who knows the law and the procedures can help you in your legal defenses.
