Legal Question in DUI Law in Arizona

Dui in az

If someone got a Extreme DUI in Arizona, and has no criminal record and no previous history at all, is there anyway for the charge to be negotiated down to a regular DUI? We know that having it lowered to reckless driving would be out of the question, but wondering exactly what we need to say to the prosecutors or whomever we talk to at court. We are all very nervous, as you know, Arizona has some of the toughest DUI laws. He also hold a Class A License, but does not drive for a living, and was not operating a CMW at the time.

As you know, Arizona is a plea to the max State. Which means the policy of Prosecution is to make a Defendant plead to the maximum charge alleged.

There are plea bargains available if the circumstances of your case are such that the Prosecution doesnt feel confident that they would succeed at trial.

There is no one magic phrase that will cause a Prosecutor to offer a plea, rather a thourough investigation of your case, and the facts derrived from the investigation applied to the law.
