Glendale, Arizona
Glendale DUI Lawyer

Where a Glendale DUI case is heard
Glendale police cases go to Glendale City Court at 5711 W Glendale Ave. DPS stops on the Loop 101 or I-17 go to a county justice court, and felony aggravated DUI to the Superior Court.
Event-night arrests deserve a close read
High-volume enforcement nights produce the same shortcuts everywhere: crowded field-test conditions, long waits that strain the two-hour rule of A.R.S. § 28-1381, and reports written hours later from notes. Those details are where DUI defenses live, and they only get found by looking.
The two deadlines
The arraignment date on your paperwork and 15 days from the suspension notice to request an MVD hearing. Out-of-town visitors arrested at an event: the deadlines apply no matter where you live, and in many hearings we can appear so you do not have to travel back.

Common questions
Where will my Glendale DUI case be heard?
Glendale police cases go to Glendale City Court; Loop 101 and I-17 DPS stops go to a county justice court; felony aggravated DUI goes to Superior Court.
I live out of state and was arrested at a Glendale event. What now?
The court dates and the 15-day MVD deadline still apply. In many misdemeanor hearings a retained attorney can appear on your behalf, and the MVD matter can be handled without you returning — but only if it is set in motion early.
What are the penalties for a first DUI in Glendale?
The statewide rules apply: a class 1 misdemeanor with ten days of jail (nine suspendable with screening and treatment), roughly $1,500 in assessments, a 90-day suspension, and twelve months of interlock — more for extreme readings.
