Long Labor Day Weekend Can Mean More Arizona DUIs, According to DUI Lawyers Corso & Rhude
End of Summer Holiday Can Bring DUI Trouble to Many Arizonans. The Arizona DUI attorneys at the Law Office of Corso & Rhude do everything in their power to protect defendant’s families and advocate for their rights. They have the experience and expertise to deal with DUI charges in Arizona and will fight to get the charges dismissed and preserve their family.
Scottsdale, AZ, August 29, 2012 --(PR.com)-- While Labor Day means the end of summer, the experienced DUI lawyers at Corso & Rhude know it can also mean the beginning of a very costly DUI mistake for many Arizonans.
“Arizona’s DUI laws are 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 know from experience the problems that can arise from long holiday weekends. Both attorneys previously prosecuted DUIs, DWIs and OUIs for the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. Combined, the two Arizona DUI lawyers have handled more than 15,000 DUI cases as prosecutors and defense attorneys. They know first-hand the seriousness of a DUI citation.
The statistics support their claims. While Labor Day 2011 arrests were down, law enforcement attributed it to less enforcement. Two years ago, 1,407 Arizonans were cited for DUIs while more than 1,200 were cited in 2009, up 46.6 percent from 2008, according to the State of Arizona.
“DUIs are a serious mistake that no one can afford to make,” Corso said. “Anyone facing an Arizona DUI charge needs the experience of an aggressive DUI lawyer fighting on their side.”
Experience matters in defending Arizona DUI cases, according to Corso & Rhude. 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.
Afterward, repercussions may continue to follow DUI offenders.
“A DUI conviction can follow you indefinitely,” Rhude said. “In the short-term, losing your license can cost you your job, and in the long-term it can continue to do so when a potential employer conducts a background check.”
In addition to DUIs and DWIs, the Law Office of Corso & Rhude handles a myriad of criminal cases, including domestic violence defense, possession of drugs, felony drug charges, photo radar, criminal speeding, disorderly conduct and marijuana possession.
