I was charged with dui charge, DUI LIQUOR BAC .08 OR MORE - 1ST.
I pled guilty to a different charge, DUI LIQUOR/DRUGS 1st
answered on Jun 20, 2024
The charges other than the one/s you plead guilty to should show up as dismissed. You can set aside any convictions after completing all terms of your sentence. If you don't want the case to be visible at all, you can request to seal your records. Normally the court will have information on... View More 
The law in Arizona says it is Mandated that a blood draw must be taken 2 hours or less after being stopped or it is not admissible in court.
How can they attempt to use a retrograde extrapulation against you when the law states that is not admissible if taken after 2 hours?
The... View More

Generally, the law does not require blood to be drawn within 2 hours. I think you are confused with particular alcohol-related DUI charges, which require the State to prove alcohol concentration within two hours. As a result, officers are supposed to draw blood within 2 hours of driving or actual... View More
I was a resident of Missouri not Arizona during the time of my arrest and had a valid Missouri drivers license as well as Missouri registration insurance and tags and the officer suspended my Arizona license and the court failed to serve me with my court date

You will need to handle the DUI in AZ and should consult a DUI lawyer immediately. If the court was unable to serve you, then the Court likely issued a warrant for you arrest. Many lawyers offer free consultations. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed to you because DUI in... View More
allowed to get the back and their no DUI on record after two weeks
answered on Oct 2, 2023
Based on what you wrote, the admin per se Order of Suspension likely has not been filed yet and it is not uncommon for this to take 2 weeks or more from the arrest to get filed and processed with ADOT. You also have a limited window of requesting a hearing on the suspension. You should consult a... View More
The letter just said DUI conseling by 05/15. But i dont know if that means to show proof of enrollment or completion.
answered on Jun 1, 2023
Typically, the court will set a sentence review and just needs to see progress towards completing all terms of your sentence unless the sentencing was a long time ago. Part of it depends how long ago you were sentenced.
If the court sees proof of enrollment and progress towards the... View More
I was pulled over for speeding and the officer was asking me about my recent arrest and I was unaware of this arrest. He informed me I had been arrested a week prior and charged with fraudulent schemes and taking identity of another. I was not present for this arrest and had no knowledge of this... View More

One possibility is that the Court may have issued a summons and after you failed to appear at your court date, an arrest warrant issued. It could be that you never were aware of the summons and it was sent to a bad address. You should consult a criminal defense lawyer to go in greater detail and... View More

For misdemeanor charges, it is common for them to be charged by an officer using the Arizona Traffic Ticket and Complaint form even when it is not a traffic offense. For a first offense sometimes there is an opportunity at diversion. Regardless, you should contact a lawyer immediately to help go... View More
I was pulled over for suspicion of DUI in late January and was released from jail the following day. I was charged with the DUI in September.
answered on Apr 6, 2023
Yes, Rule 8 applies; however, this is different from the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is the time the prosecutor has to file charges whereas Rule 8 involves your right to a speedy trial after charges are already filed. For a misdemeanor DUI the prosecutor typically has up to... View More
I was pulled over, parked on the side of a residential area asleep in my driver side chair. Awoken by PD taken from car where they found my keys upon the pat down but bac was .085 and they charged me 2 years later by mail. Is there anyway to fight this ?
answered on Jan 3, 2023
There are two potential issues from your question. The first is whether you were in actual physical control of the car. In Arizona you can get a DUI for driving or being in actual physical control. However, sometimes actual physical can be hard to prove especially without evidence of driving or... View More

Did this happen in Arizona? I am only licensed in Arizona so I cannot comment on other jurisdictions, but if this was an AZ collision and the other party was at fault a lot of times medical providers will treat with a lien so you do not have to pay out-of-pocket. In addition to the medicals, you... View More
I requested for an MVD hearing in Arizona, to challenge an implied consent license suspension (for failure to submit to DUI alcohol testing). This automatically stayed my license suspension, pending an administrative hearing.
Per A.R.S. 28-1321(I): "On the receipt of a request for a... View More

This is a good question because according to statute these hearings are supposed to be held within sixty (60) days. Unfortunately, the delay alone will not void the suspension. For the past 2+ years the administrative hearings have typically been delayed past the 60-day timetable. Arizona case... View More
So far the precinct judge has done very little. My assaulter ignored the peace bond that i filed for.
answered on Mar 24, 2022
If there are criminal charges against the assailant, you should talk to the victim advocate. A lot of times you can get release conditions (if not already in place) that will prohibit contact or harassment. If there is no criminal case you may be able to get some form of protective order such as... View More
Or the phone company ? It’s an iPhone XR and it’s damaged by falling out not more than a causal walk up a staircase.
answered on Mar 24, 2022
On many legal claims you have to prove that the company did something wrong. Did the company making the sweatpants tell you or market their product as being able to securely hold the iPhone XR without falling out? Is the iPhone XR advertised to be able to securely fit in these particular... View More
I was 18 and homeless in 1996, cutting across an open parking lot (privately owned).

I was fed rotten green baloney and... View More

It sounds like what you are probably seeking to do is set aside your conviction. While this is not entirely what you are asking, it may accomplish your objectives. A set aside if granted will set aside the judgment of guilt and dismiss the complaint. You should consult an attorney to discuss... View More

The judge is correct the time to argue facts are trial. I understand this is not the answer you were hoping to hear, in criminal cases there is not a Motion for Summary Judgment where you are permitted to get a ruling of guilty or not guilty based on undisputed facts prior to trial. You can... View More

Nobody bothered to further investigate the surveillance footage to verify whether or not it was even me no investigating officer met me in person to compare me to the footage and now a year later I'm going to jury trial for a crime I didn't commit that I've already been charged with.

If you are going to jury trial it sounds like you already have an attorney and this is something you want to discuss with your attorney. If you have not hired an attorney it is strongly advised you consult an attorney immediately. The prosecutor is required to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that... View More
I was given a breathalyzer and field sobriety test, arrested. Then released about an hour later. I was given a traffic ticket and complaint for DUI .08%, DUI slightest, and no lights. I have a court date. Why isn’t my case showing online?
answered on Feb 1, 2022
Likely one of two things are happening.
1. The officer has not filed the Complaint yet with the Court or it was recently filed and has not been processed yet in Court. Normally it will take a couple days from the arrest for the Complaint to be reflected in the court system online.... View More
