What Is Extreme DUI?

In Arizona, driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) is defined as driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or above. The penalties for this offense are based on several factors, including the defendant’s BAC at the time of his or her arrest. If your BAC is .15 or higher, you could face an even more serious charge known as extreme DUI.

If you have been accused of extreme DUI, you need to take steps immediately to protect your legal rights. The sooner you contact an Arizona DUI defense lawyer, the sooner he or she can begin working on your case.
