About This PageTempe only

This page is written for Tempe because Arizona’s DUI framework is not interchangeable with a generic “first offense” script. The statute reaches impairment to the slightest degree and builds sharp alcohol-concentration steps at 0.08, 0.15, and 0.20. Tempe also has its own misdemeanor prosecution path, while an aggravated allegation may move into the county felony system. Add ASU Police, a large campus footprint, and the train-and-road network around Mill, Apache, Rural, and the US 60, and the agency, location, and paperwork can matter immediately.

The purpose here is narrower than legal advice: make the initial documents intelligible and point out what needs prompt attention. It does not name a firm, promise a disposition, or substitute for a lawyer reviewing the record. A real case turns on its precise charge, court, evidence, history, and deadlines. Preserve what you have, verify the date printed on your paperwork, and get a qualified Tempe defense attorney involved early enough to examine the actual file.
