Frequently Asked Questions: Maricopa County DUI Arrest
Where will my Maricopa County DUI case be heard?
Your court location depends entirely on which law enforcement agency arrested you. If you were pulled over by the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) or the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) on a valley freeway or an unincorporated area, your case will likely be routed to one of the Maricopa County Justice Courts. If you were arrested by a local city officer within Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, or Goodyear, your case will be prosecuted in that specific Municipal City Court.
What happens at a Maricopa County DUI arraignment?
The arraignment is your initial court appearance. During this hearing, the judge will read the formal charges against you, explain your constitutional rights, and ask you to enter a plea (Guilty, Not Guilty, or No Contest). In almost all cases, an aggressive DUI defense strategy begins by entering a Not Guilty plea. This gives your attorney the opportunity to request and review the state's evidence, police reports, and chemical testing data.
Can I challenge the immediate suspension of my driver's license?
Yes. Following a DUI arrest, law enforcement will typically issue an administrative summary suspension order on behalf of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) MVD. You have a very strict, 15-day window from the date of your arrest to formally request an Executive Hearing Office administrative hearing. Failing to file this request on time means your driving privileges will be automatically suspended.
