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.

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.
