But I can't find any exact information, everything refers to alcohol. I would like to know about jail time, licence suspension, fines. For both her as a minor and her parent.
Great place to look is Chapter 4, Title 28 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. It's available online to the public at https://www.azleg.gov/arsDetail/?title=28
Arizona. Advice please.

There was likely a medical blood draw that was used by police to determine the presence of alcohol and/or drugs. Normally a single vehicle collision on its own will not be sufficient to be allege the DUI as aggravated so more information would be needed. The best advice I can give is to consult a... Read more »
The video was taken by the attending officer's body cam. The video was sent to me from the prosecutor of this case.
If you have an attorney, you will want to ask your trial attorney. Ultimately, this is a tough question to answer because it involves going through the rules of evidence that us lawyers learn from law school and experience. Basically to use the body cam as evidence you will want to request the... Read more »

Typically it takes gathering all the relevant information including the crash report. It is rarely advisable to do this alone. You should at least call an attorney over the phone and request a free consultation. If it is a meaningful accident and you were injured, you will likely want to hire an... Read more »
In a DUI case, the crime lab will typically first test the blood for alcohol even when there is no suspicion of alcohol. If the results reflect a BAC above a 0.08 then typically no further testing will be done--though depending on the court and crime lab I have seen a further drug screen done even... Read more »
Yes, ordinarily you can recover if the accident made a pre-existing condition worse. You would want a medical opinion saying so as well.
You should consider contacting a personal injury attorney for a free consultation to be able to discuss your case in more detail.
You are only entitled to a court-appointed attorney if there is the possibility of punishment involving loss of liberty (such as jail). However, in the interest of justice the court may still appoint a public defender under Rule 6.1(b)(2).
Unless you also had drugs or alcohol in your system, that wouldn't be a DUI. However, it would still be a criminal misdemeanor for driving in violation of a restriction. You need your glasses to drive so I don't know why you would decide not to wear them. What commonly happens though is people... Read more »
There's no such thing as a "wet and reckless" in Arizona. There is however a crime of reckless driving. In terms of the difference between Reckless driving and DUI they both carry 8 points on MVD driving record, but DUI is a higher class of offense and carries certain mandatory minimum penalties...

It depends how the charges were dismissed. The same charges can get refiled if the dismissal was WITHOUT prejudice. If it was WITH prejudice, then charges may be refiled so long as they comply with the applicable statute of limitations (time limit for filing). I am a bit confused by your... Read more »

Yes you will need legal representation. DUI in Arizona carries mandatory minimum jail time. If you cannot afford an attorney, an attorney will be appointed to represent you at little or no cost.
I would like to know what I can do against my charges
Disorderly conduct is a frustrating charge in my experience as a criminal defense attorney because it many times gets charged when there isn't much more than an argument. In your case, the State is alleging aggravated facts because it sounds like it is being charged as a felony. How it is alleged... Read more »
I was wondering if I never been in trouble with the law before. What will happen on my arraignment. I was booked then released the sane night.
At the arraignment you will plead guilty or not guilty. Normally, you will want to plead not guilty, but depending on the jurisdiction you might meet with advisory counsel and an acceptable agreement will be offered for a guilty plea or diversion. Sounds like this might have been alleged as... Read more »
I can't speak for Florida, but Arizona typically does not extradite for misdemeanors. However, there are typically other consequences when you have an outstanding misdemeanor warrant such as warrant fees being assessed and driver license suspension.

While also completing 100 hrs of community service with the courts promise to vacate the case after I had finished all of these things does that mean I can get my license back ?
It sounds like you are doing what you can to be compliant with the court's orders which is good, but your license reinstatement is handled separately through the MVD. You will need to contact the MVD to figure out what needs to be done to get your driving privileges reinstated.
Would that be grounds to get the jail time thrown put since it was their error?
No. You will still have to serve the jail. Unfortunately, this is a common issue. Go back to the Court and get a new confinement order with a new self-surrender date that is listed correctly. If you don't, you will get a summons for an Order to Show cause or Petition to Revoke Probation. Don't... Read more »
It is a bit unclear what you are asking. It depends on the type of DUI as well as the purpose the prior is being used for.
Do you have a new DUI and asking whether the old DUIs will increase your sentence? A misdemeanor DUI over 7 years from the date of offense from a present DUI will not... Read more »
