What is an Underage DUI in Arizona Law?

Underage DUI is the offense of driving or being in physical control of a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol when below the legal drinking age. Under ARS § 4-244, individuals under the age of 21 are prohibited from driving with any "spirituous liquor in the person's body." Arizona has a zero-tolerance policy for Underage DUI, resulting in severe penalties.

Arizona generally does not allow individuals below 21 years old to drink alcohol and drive. This means drivers aged between 18 and 21 would face the same consequences as those below 18.

The state follows a “Not a Drop” law, wherein it is sufficient to charge someone with an Underage DUI for any detectable amount of alcohol on the body (above a blood alcohol concentration of 0.00%).

Penalties for Underage DUI: Consequences for Underage Drinking and Driving

DUI Under 21 in Arizona carries significant penalties that can impact various aspects of your life. It is crucial to be aware of the potential consequences you may face if convicted.

Jail Time

For some First Offense DUI Under 21, incarceration is possible, which can result in 0 days to 6 months in jail.

License Suspension

The driver's license will be suspended for 90 days to 3 years if convicted of an underage DUI.

Fines

Underage DUI can result in fines of $0 to $4,500, depending on the circumstances of the case and any aggravating factors involved.

Ignition Interlock Device

You must install an ignition interlock device in any vehicle you drive for a period of 1 to 4 years. This device measures your blood alcohol concentration and halts the vehicle's ignition if it exceeds the allowable threshold.

SR-22 Insurance

Creative DUI Defense

Attorney Brian really did pull a rabbit out of his hat. Brian is very knowledgeable and professional, and was timely in his responses. I would highly recommend ANYBODY to see Brian if you are charged with a DUI. You are in good hands

Better Outcome Than expected

First off, I would like to say that after a bad experience with another attorney who almost completely botched my case, Arja came in as a super hero! I explained the entire situation and where the other firm failed, she picked up the reigns and crushed it. Not only did she find discrepancies in the charges, she was able to get the entire case dismissed! I owe her my life.... Don't make the mistake I did thinking that another attorney "could" do better... Hire Arja!

Peace of Mind

I really want to express my gratitude to Brian as he went above and beyond to meet my needs as his client. Brian was able to get me a deal that was beyond great, and truly advocates for his client’s needs. Brian has a system that allows his clients to not stress, stays in communication, will provide you with his best guidance on things and refer you to services in advance that he knows will benefit your case. I couldn’t be more grateful for hiring him.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE Attorneys

A family member was facing a serious DUI charge that would have been devastating to her career and livelihood. It wasn't a malicious crime, she just made a poor decision. After the first few minutes of talking with Arja, we could tell right away that she knew EXACTLY what she was talking about. Arja's expertise proved itself and she was able to get all charges reduced down to a simple traffic citation!!! We can't THANK HER enough!!
