DUI is a Crime in Arizona

Ads by DUI lawyers create confusion by saying "DUI and Criminal Defense." For the unaware, this makes it sound like DUI is not a crime, and the lawyer handles drunk driving cases as well as criminal cases. In reality, DUI is a crime. In Arizona, it can be a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the circumstances. See my explaination of Arizona DUI Law for more information on how drunk driving charges in AZ are classified.
