The DUI Motion Bank

Nineteen 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 court-ready 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 a court-ready document with a certificate of service, ready to file with your court.

Four packages. Nineteen documents.

Drafted by Arizona DUI defense attorneys and organized in the order a real case unfolds.

1

Package 1: Check Your Options

The first documents you need after arrest. File these to enter your appearance, preserve your rights, and start building your defense.

Just arrested — first court date upcoming
  • Notice of Appearance

    Tell the court you are representing yourself and where to reach you.

  • Notice of Defense

    Preserve your right to challenge the stop, tests, and arrest.

  • Request for Disclosure (Rule 15)

    Force the prosecution to give you all evidence — reports, video, test results.

  • Public Records Request — Copy of Police Report

    Request 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 Letter

    TIME-SENSITIVE

    Challenge your license suspension. MUST be mailed within 30 days of service of the Admin Per Se order (A.R.S. § 28-1385(G)(2)(c)).

2

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.

First pretrial conference — building your defense
  • 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.

3

Package 3: Compel the Interviews

Two interview letters ignored? Turn that silence into leverage: a second continuance plus a court-ordered deposition of the officers under Rule 15.3.

Officers won't talk — make the court order it
  • 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.

4

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.

Discovery complete — time to resolve
  • 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.

  • 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.
