Long Labor Day Weekend Potentially Hazardous for DUIs, According to Law Office of Corso & Rhude

End of Summer Holiday Can Bring DUI Trouble to Many Arizonans.

Phoenix, AZ, September 03, 2010 --(PR.com)-- While Labor Day is traditionally viewed as the holiday that ushers in the end of summer, the attorneys at Corso & Rhude know it can also introduce a very costly DUI mistake to many Arizonans, especially if you’re convicted of a felony DUI in Arizona.

“Arizona’s DUI laws very tough,” said John Rhude, of the Law Office of Corso & Rhude. “The penalties can be severe, jail time is required and a DUI conviction can cost you your job.”

Both Rhude and his law partner Christopher Corso are experienced Arizona DUI lawyers and previously prosecuted DUIs for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. They know that long weekends and summer holidays are the perfect ingredients for DUIs.

More than 1,200 Arizonans were cited for DUIs during Labor Day weekend in 2009, up 46.6 percent from 2008, according to the State of Arizona.

“DUIs are no laughing matter and must be taken seriously by the attorney that represents you in court,” Corso said. “Whether it’s a felony DUI, an extreme DUI or your first Arizona DUI, our attorneys offer the experienced counsel that you will need.”

Arizona law requires that any person found guilty of drinking and driving (even a first offense) serve jail time. And DUI convictions can also include extensive fines up to $2,500, suspension of driving privileges and the installation of an ignition interlock device – even for first offenders.

“DUIs are a serious mistake that no one can afford to make,” Rhude said. “Nevertheless, if you find yourself facing a Labor Day DUI, we can help.”
