Felony Drunk Driving / Repeat Offender

Arizona Felony Drunk Driving Defense Lawyer

Aggravated DUI Criminal Penalties

An Aggravated DUI differs from a simple DWI in that it's charged as a Class 4 or 6 felony carrying with it the possibility of prison time, license revocation, a fine of up to 150,000, mandatory drug testing and rehabilitation, and possible civil forfeiture of your car. Often charged in Arizona Superior Court, these drug offenses may also be for drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, and drug transport. Contact the Law Offices of Howard A. Snader, LLC to learn more about your potential penalties.
