Aggravated DUI Lawyers
In the state of Arizona, any DUI is a serious charge. Mandatory minimum sentencing laws call for jail sentences even for first-time offenders. In extreme cases, a DUI may even be upgraded from a misdemeanor to a felony. Known as an “aggravated DUI,” this type of felony charge means harsher penalties than that of a typical DUI case. As such, it is critical that you seek out legal representation from the experts at the Schill Law Group immediately if you have been charged with an aggravated DUI.
– Aggravated DUI Defense Lawyers
Your Justice Is Our Priority
In order to have a misdemeanor DUI charge upgraded to an Aggravated DUI, the following must be true of the convicted driver:
- The driver was using a suspended or revoked license.
- The driver has two prior DUI convictions within a period of the last seven years.
- The driver either violated or circumvented an ignition interlock requirement.
When these circumstances exist surrounding a DUI arrest, the driver may be charged with a Class 4 Felony DUI. Also, this is not the only class of felony that a DUI defendant can be faced with. A driver may be charged with a Class 6 Felony DUI in cases where this additional stipulation existed: - The DUI was committed while a minor under the age of 15 was in the vehicle.

“Best call I made
I drive often for Door Dash and Uber and sometimes work long hours after my regular job. Well the officer was rude and insinuating that I was impaired and cited me for a criminal charge unfairly. Well I made many calls to other firms and after speak with John I realized I found who I needed. John worked out a great deal for me to retain his office and they won my case. I’m so very thankful.”
“My friend and I were vacationing in Arizona and she got pulled over for a criminal charge. We didn’t know what to do so I contacted some friends from Arizona and they referred us to Schill Law. What a relief this is over now and behind her. Thank you to all..”
“I never thought I would have ever needed to hire a criminal lawyer to prove my innocence. After talking 4-6 minutes I settled on John and his firm. His team got me a great results and I can now breathe again. Thank you to all of you that fought for me. I appreciate it!.”
