Straight Answers, No Jargon
What DUIINFO.NET is, how the tools work, what they cost, and the questions everyone asks after a DUI arrest.
No. DUIINFO.NET is an informational resource and self-help platform. We publish plain-English guides built from primary law and provide tools — a document portal, deadline calendar, and Motion Bank — for people handling their own cases or working alongside an attorney. Using the site does not create an attorney-client relationship, and nothing here is legal advice.
Yes. Representing yourself (appearing "pro per" or "pro se") is legal in every U.S. state, and courts handle self-represented defendants every day. Our tools are built to help you do it competently: understand your charges, track your deadlines, and file properly formatted motions. That said, the stakes in a DUI case are real — jail, license loss, fines, a criminal record. Serious or complicated charges deserve at least a consultation with a licensed attorney.
The Motion Bank contains 20 court-formatted motion templates organized into four packages: Check Your Options (evaluating the case against you), More Time (continuances and deadline relief), Compel the Interviews (discovery and witness-interview motions), and Plea or Trial (the decisions at the end of the case). Each template includes plain-English guidance on when and why you would file it.
Explore the Motion BankYou pick a template, fill in a guided form with your case details — court, case number, dates, the facts that matter — and watch a live preview update as you type. When you're done, the platform generates a court-formatted document you can print or save as a PDF and file with your court.
A free account gets you the research library, guides, and limited document storage, plus a 30-day free trial of the Motion Bank. Pro is $39.99/month with full Motion Bank access and unlimited document storage. You can cancel anytime through the billing portal.
See full pricingIf you're arrested for DUI in Arizona and served with an admin per se / implied consent affidavit, you have 30 days to request a hearing with the Motor Vehicle Division (A.R.S. § 28-1385) before your license suspension takes effect. If you don't request the hearing, the suspension goes through automatically. Beware of older websites that cite a 15-day window — that's outdated. The current statute provides 30 days.
Read the first 24 hours guideA DUI arrest in Arizona starts two separate cases. The MVD case is an administrative proceeding about your driver license — it runs on its own clock (the 30-day hearing request) and its own lower standard of proof. The criminal case is the prosecution in court, where the state must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Winning or losing one does not automatically decide the other, and each has its own deadlines.
Yes — the platform includes a 50-state legal corpus covering DUI statutes, penalties, and procedures nationwide. Arizona is our deepest coverage, with court-level guides, MVD procedures, and Arizona-specific motion templates, and we are expanding other states continuously.
Only you, by default. Your case documents are stored encrypted, isolated by row-level security at the database layer, and are never shared with anyone unless you explicitly share them. If you work with an attorney through the platform, they see only the specific items you choose to share — and you can revoke access at any time. We never sell your data.
Read the Privacy PolicyRefusing a chemical test triggers consequences separate from the DUI charge itself. In Arizona, a first refusal brings a 12-month license suspension under the implied consent law — longer than the suspension for a failed test — and police can often obtain a warrant and take blood anyway. Refusal can also be used against you in court. The rules vary by state, which is why the corpus covers refusal consequences state by state.
These are Arizona's enhanced DUI tiers, set by blood alcohol concentration. Standard DUI starts at 0.08% (A.R.S. § 28-1381): 10 days jail with all but 1 suspendable on screening and education, and $1,497.50 in fines and assessments. Extreme DUI is 0.15% or higher (A.R.S. § 28-1382(A)(1)): 30 days, of which the court may suspend all but 9 if you install a certified ignition interlock on every vehicle you operate (A.R.S. § 28-1382(I)), and $2,747.50. Super Extreme is 0.20% or higher: 45 days, all but 14 suspendable on the same interlock condition, and $3,195.00. Note the suspension on the Extreme tiers is conditioned on the interlock, not on screening — a distinction most sources get wrong. Aggravated (felony) DUI under A.R.S. § 28-1383 applies to a third DUI within 84 months, driving on a suspended licence, or a child under 15 in the vehicle.
Compare the charge tiersYes. A.R.S. § 28-1381(F) — the jury-trial provision of Arizona's primary DUI statute — provides that at the arraignment, the court shall inform the defendant that the defendant may request a trial by jury, and that the request, if made, shall be granted. Two mechanics matter in practice. First, the right is triggered by a request: the court is directed to advise you of it at arraignment, but the jury has to be asked for, and you can waive it by choosing a bench trial. Second, the identical guarantee appears at A.R.S. § 28-1382(C) for Extreme and Super Extreme DUI. Aggravated DUI contains no such subsection because it is charged as a felony, where the jury right attaches under the Arizona Constitution (art. 2, § 23).
See the Motion to Set for TrialSometimes, yes. Police and labs make mistakes: traffic stops without reasonable suspicion, field sobriety tests administered outside NHTSA standards, breath machines out of calibration, blood samples mishandled, and deadlines missed by the prosecution. When those errors are identified and challenged with the right motion, charges can be suppressed, reduced, or dismissed. No outcome is ever guaranteed — but errors can't be challenged if no one looks for them.
See common defense strategiesThat's your call, and it depends on your case. Many people use the platform to research their charges and understand their options before deciding. Others handle a straightforward first-offense case themselves, and others use our tools to be a better-informed client while an attorney leads the defense. For felony charges, repeat offenses, or cases with injuries, we strongly encourage consulting a licensed attorney.
