Arizona DUI Laws & Penalties

Under Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) 28-1381, it is illegal to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or a combination of both. Arizona has some of the strictest DUI laws in the country, and penalties vary based on blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and prior offenses.

First-Offense DUI (ARS 28-1381)

  • Jail Time: Minimum 10 days (potential suspension with alcohol education)

  • Fines: Up to $1,500

  • License Suspension: 90 days

  • Ignition Interlock Device (IID): Required for 1 year

Extreme DUI (ARS 28-1382) – BAC 0.15%-0.199%

How We Often Fight DUI Charges

  1. Challenging the Traffic Stop – We analyze whether law enforcement had reasonable suspicion or probable cause to pull you over.

  2. Questioning the Field Sobriety Tests – Many sobriety tests are unreliable and can be challenged in court.

  3. Examining Breath & Blood Tests – Machines can be improperly calibrated, leading to inaccurate BAC results.

  4. Uncovering Prosecutorial Weaknesses – Because Henry Beam was a former DUI prosecutor, we work to find the weak spots in the prosecution’s case and know how to exploit them.

  5. Negotiating for Reduced Charges – We also fight for lesser penalties, alternative sentencing, or case dismissals.

Common DUI Defenses

  • Lack of Probable Cause – If the stop was unlawful, evidence may be thrown out.

  • Faulty Breathalyzer Results – Breath tests can be inaccurate due to improper calibration.

  • Rising BAC Defense – Your BAC may have risen after you were pulled over but was legal while driving.

  • Medical Conditions – Acid reflux, diabetes, and other conditions can cause false BAC readings.

  • Violation of Constitutional Rights – If your Miranda rights were not read or evidence was obtained illegally, the case can be challenged.

A Letter to Our New Clients: Your Tempe DUI Defense Starts Here

Dear Future Client,

If you’ve been arrested for DUI in Tempe, you might be feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and unsure about what comes next. Let me be clear: a DUI charge does not mean a conviction. At Beam Law PLC, we’ve helped countless clients fight their DUI cases, and we’re ready to help you too.

As a former DUI prosecutor, I know how the state will try to convict you. They rely on alcohol tests, field sobriety tests, and officer testimony—all of which can be challenged. Police make mistakes, machines fail, and your rights matter.

Since 2012, we’ve been serving clients in Tempe, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and surrounding areas with aggressive legal representation from our same office on Rio Salado, just minutes away from Tempe Municipal Court. Whether this is your first DUI offense or you’re facing felony DUI charges, our firm is built on experience, strategy, and results.

We know the Tempe courts well. And it can be daunting to walk up those steps and check in with the clerks before you enter your assigned courtroom. Our team will fight to get charges reduced or dismissed. We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and offer personalized, aggressive defense strategies. Every client is unique, which means every case is also unique.

You don’t have to face this alone. Let’s talk about your case and start fighting for your future. Call today for a free consultation.

Sincerely,
Henry Beam
