The DUI Motion Bank
Twenty attorney-drafted Arizona templates — motions, pleadings, letters, the time-critical MVD hearing request, and a complete trial kit — organized into four packages that follow the actual stages of a DUI case. Fill in your details; generate Arizona-formatted documents.
The MVD clock is running. You have 30 days from service of the Admin Per Se / Implied Consent order to request your license hearing under A.R.S. § 28-1385(G)(2)(c) — or the suspension becomes automatic.
How it works
1. Pick the package for your stage
Just arrested, building your defense, or resolving the case — each package matches a stage of an Arizona DUI.
2. Fill in your details
Guided forms ask for your case number, court, and facts — no legal drafting required.
3. Generate, print, file
Download an Arizona-formatted document with a certificate of service, ready to file with your court.
Four packages. Twenty documents.
Drafted by Arizona DUI defense attorneys and organized in the order a real case unfolds.
Package 1: Check Your Options
The first documents you need after arrest — a set, not a single filing. Three are filed with the court, one goes to the prosecutor, and the MVD hearing request is mailed separately and is the one with a hard deadline.
Notice of Appearance
File with the courtTell the court you are representing yourself and where to reach you.
Notice of Defense
File with the courtPreserve your right to challenge the stop, tests, and arrest.
Request for Disclosure (Rule 15)
File with the courtFiled with the court under Rule 15 — this is what creates the State's legal obligation to hand over reports, video and test results.
Public Records Request — Copy of Police Report
Send to the police departmentRequest your report straight from the police department (by email or their online form) — a second path to it, separate from the prosecutor.
MVD Hearing Request — ADOT Form 40-5008
Mail to MVDTIME-SENSITIVEChallenge your license suspension on ADOT's own Hearing Request form, filled from your case and ready to sign. MUST reach the Executive Hearing Office within 30 days of service of the Admin Per Se affidavit (A.R.S. § 28-1385(G)(2)(c)) — email or fax it, don't rely on the mail.
Package 2: More Time
The first pretrial stage: buy time, lock in the officer's story, and pull the technical records the State didn't hand over.
Motion to Continue Pretrial Conference
Request a postponement with a stated reason. Includes certificate of service.
Letter Requesting Officer Interview
Professional letter requesting to speak with the arresting officer.
Second Letter for Officer Interviews
Follow-up if the first letter was unanswered. Documents good-faith effort — and sets up Package 3.
Request for Lab Records & Additional Discovery
Get the calibration records, chain of custody, and lab data the State didn't send.
Package 3: Compel the Interviews
Two interview letters ignored? Turn that silence into leverage: a second continuance, a court-ordered deposition of the officers under Rule 15.3, and — if they skip that too — a motion to keep them off the stand at trial.
Motion to Continue (Second Request)
Further continuance grounded in the unanswered interview requests and pending deposition motion.
Motion for Deposition of Law Enforcement Witnesses (Rule 15.3)
Ask the court to order depositions of officers who ignored both interview letters.
Motion to Preclude Testimony
Ask the court to bar an officer from testifying at trial after they skipped a court-ordered deposition.
Package 4: Plea or Trial
Resolve the case — accept a negotiated plea, or take it to trial with a complete trial kit: checklist, subpoenas, jury instructions, motions in limine, and exhibit list.
Motion to Set for Change of Plea
Schedule a hearing to enter a negotiated plea agreement.
Motion to Set for Trial
Formally request a bench trial (judge) or jury trial date. The jury right comes from A.R.S. § 28-1381(F) — the court must advise you of it at arraignment, and a request must be granted.
Trial Readiness Statement
Certify to the court that you are fully prepared to proceed to trial.
Trial Preparation Checklist
Everything that must happen 30/14/7 days out: subpoenas served, exhibits marked, limine rulings in hand.
Motion for Subpoena of Trial Witnesses
Compel your witnesses to appear on the trial date — compulsory process is your Sixth Amendment right.
Defendant's Requested Jury Instructions
Portillo reasonable doubt, FST/BAC limits, and HGN limits — the defense-side instructions that matter.
Motions in Limine — DUI Defense Set
Ten pretrial evidence motions, led by preclusion of prior convictions and prior DUIs. Rulings before openings.
Defense Exhibit & Witness List
The marked exhibit list and witness roster most courts require before trial.
Attorney-drafted
Written and maintained by the Arizona DUI defense practice behind the DUI Defense Resource Network.
Current statutes
Reflects the 30-day MVD hearing window under A.R.S. § 28-1385 — not the outdated 15-day language still circulating online.
Arizona-formatted output
Generated documents include captions, signature blocks, and certificates of service formatted for Arizona limited-jurisdiction courts.
