Beauchamp DUI Defense Attorneys
A Phoenix DUI (driving under the influence) conviction can easily lead to not only fines or parole but to extensive prison sentences and permanent license suspension, depending upon the gravity of the DUI charge. Representation by one of Phoenix’s leading DUI defense firms can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
Beauchamp Law Office has extensive experience with Arizona DUI cases. Located centrally in Phoenix, we represent residents of Phoenix and the surrounding areas with their driving under the influence cases. Some may say that hiring a DUI attorney is not useful in a DUI case. However, if you think about the gravity of the crime and the possible penalties you may face, you will probably agree that it is best to play it safe and do whatever you can to stay out of jail.
A first DUI offense, depending upon the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of the defendant, can result in a prison sentence of 10 to 180 days, a driver’s license suspension for 90 days and fines of up to $2500, however, fees and assessments could raise the amount due to the court to well over $10,000. And that is only for a first offense. The penalties are much greater for second and third offenders.
Phoenix DUI Arrests
The Phoenix Police Department reports that in the first 10 months of 2007, 6,096 DUI arrests were made. Since 2003, this number has steadily decreased from over 9,000 arrests to an estimated 7,000 when the year-end statistics for 2007 are tallied.
