The Law Offices of Trent R. Buckallew, PC offers experienced and professional
legal representation to clients arrested and charged with

but less than 20 within two hours of driving is guilty of driving under
the influence of extreme DUI, if convicted.
An individual arrested and charged with an extreme DUI should contact a
Tempe DUI lawyer for legal advice and counsel regarding defense strategies
to advance during the
DUI process. Mr. Buckallew is well versed in criminal law and has a

An extreme DUI is a serious crime with harsh penalties that can include
the following, if convicted (1st time extreme DUI):
- Maximum 6 months in jail
- 5 years' probation
- $2,500 fines, fees, and surcharge
- 30-day impound of vehicle
- License suspension 90 days to 1 year
- Ignition interlock device
- Alcohol screening & classes
The penalties can increase due to prior convictions for DUI, or when a
child under 15 years of age was in the vehicle at the time of the event,
or if an accident resulted in injuries or fatalities, or if the driver's
license was suspended at the time of the incident. Leaving the scene of
a DUI accident is a serious crime and can result in harsh penalties after
a conviction.

aggressive legal defense, as well as the experience in challenging both
