Defense Strategy: Super Extreme DUI
ALERT: Standard Patrol
Arrests in Mesa are currently under high scrutiny.
If you are reading this, you are facing the full weight of the Maricopa County legal system. An arrest for Super Extreme DUI by the Mesa PD is designed to shock and intimidate you.
Super Extreme DUI: The Mesa "Red Zone"
A Super Extreme DUI (BAC .20+) is the highest misdemeanor charge in Arizona. In Mesa, this is treated with zero tolerance. Prosecutors will seek the full 45 days in jail, thousands in fines, and an 18-month interlock. Public defenders in Mesa often lack the resources to challenge the forensic science in these cases. We do not. We treat Super Extreme cases like felonies, auditing every piece of evidence.
The Blood Test Audit
Super Extreme cases almost always involve a blood draw. We do not accept the state's lab report as fact. We demand the "Gas Chromatography" data from the crime lab. We look for signs of fermentation (which creates alcohol in the vial), improper seals, or contamination. If the blood was stored in a hot patrol car during a Mesa summer night before being booked, the sample is compromised.
The "Disconnect" Defense
To have a BAC of .20+, you should be visibly intoxicated—stumbling, slurring, incoherent. Yet, many of our clients appear calm and steady on the officer's bodycam. We use this "Cognitive Disconnect" to argue to a jury that the chemical test is clearly malfunctioning because it contradicts the visual evidence.
Your Future is at Stake
A Super Extreme conviction is a career-ender for many professionals. It triggers automatic reporting to licensing boards. We specialize in negotiating resolutions that minimize the public fallout and protect your professional standing.
