Frequently asked DUI questions in Chandler
Arizona DUI laws generally apply statewide. These answers cover common questions for people dealing with a DUI arrest in Chandler; the court, charge, facts and licensing circumstances determine what happens in an individual case.
Will I go to jail for a first DUI in Chandler?
A first standard DUI conviction in Chandler falls under Arizona's statewide sentencing law. A.R.S. § 28-1381 sets a 10-day jail sentence, but a judge may suspend all but one day if the qualifying screening, education or treatment requirements are completed. Prior offenses and the exact charge can change the outcome.
Does a high blood-alcohol level change DUI penalties in Chandler?
Yes. Arizona classifies alcohol concentration of 0.15 to below 0.20 as extreme DUI, and 0.20 or higher as the higher extreme-DUI category sometimes called super extreme DUI. The starting jail terms and qualifying reductions differ. These state rules apply in Chandler as elsewhere in Arizona.
Can my driver's license be suspended before my Chandler DUI case is decided?
Yes. Arizona's Motor Vehicle Division can take administrative action separately from the criminal court case. A standard admin-per-se suspension can be 90 days, and the applicable notice generally provides a 30-day window to request a hearing. Read the notice promptly rather than waiting for a court appearance.

What if I refused a breath or blood test after a DUI stop in Chandler?
Arizona's implied-consent law provides for a 12-month license suspension for a first qualifying refusal, or two years for certain subsequent refusals. The notice ordinarily gives 30 days to request a hearing. A refusal case has its own legal issues and should not be confused with the penalty for a DUI conviction.

What should I ask a DUI attorney who handles cases in Chandler?
Ask whether the lawyer regularly appears in the court handling your case, who will personally represent you, whether blood-test or breath-test evidence needs independent review, what the total fees cover and what deadlines apply. An attorney's office city alone does not prove that they regularly handle cases in every nearby court.
Can a DUI charge in Chandler affect a professional license?
Potentially. Professional licensing boards have rules separate from Arizona's driving-license system. For example, the Arizona Board of Nursing requires reporting of specified criminal charges, including certain DUI-related matters, within applicable deadlines. Check your own board's requirements; an arrest does not automatically establish the same disciplinary outcome for every profession.
