According to a website, DUI.com, the most common penalties for first time DUI in Phoenix, Arizona are as followed.

So what is the ramification of Getting a DUI in Phoenix, Arizona?
First off – getting a DUI will definably cost you money, no matter how you slice it. Your First offense will be $250 - $2500 plus local fees, penalties and assessments for total of $1300 - $3500. Now this does not include any lawyers fees –which can be from $500.00 to $15,000 depending on if you’re in a small town or large metro area like Phoenix, Arizona. Generally speaking the more experienced the lawyer (and you do want an experienced lawyer) the more it will cost.
There are social headaches of getting a DUI as well. A charge of DUI/DWI can have serious ramifications on a defendant's driver's license, criminal record and ability to work and function in society. Some employers may decline in hiring someone because of a felony level DUI. Jail time can put a huge dent on any commitment you are due to keep while you are still incarnated
So ask yourself before getting behind the wheel after drinking if it’s really worth it. Based on the above, be safe – not sorry and take a cab ride home which is downright cheap.

DUI Lawyers in Singapore ?? None?
Recently there was news in Singapore about a Romanian Guy who was involved in a Hit and Run case that was suspected to be driving under the influence of alcohol . Somehow this case has gone unexpectedly wrong. It seems that he has done more than a hit and run . He is now on a catch me if you can as he has left Singapore and seek refuge back in his country.
Why did he run ?
Was there a lack of DUI lawyers in Singapore ? Maybe there is just a lack of DUI cases in Singapore to even have specialize DUI lawyers to begin with . Maybe that is the reason Romanian embassy official, Dr Silviu Ionescu fled . Or maybe it was just that he knew he was guilty as charge and knowing how strict Singapore was he decided the best thing to do was run.
It seems that insufficient information could be gathered when searching for a Dui lawyer in Singapore . There has not been many cases of Driving under the influence of alcohol in Singapore and most of the cases ended badly for the accused . Usually the accused would often face jail time even for the first offense . This could commonly be said as most of the lawyers here are not fully experience to handle DUI cases.
So the important factor is where do you look for if you need to find a good Dui lawyer? Most specialize DUI lawyers are commonly found in countries like in the United State of America and in most countries than have a high rate of DUI cases.
Anyway here is the link if you would like to read about the Romanian hit and run case in Singapore .

Where can you find a Lawyer or an Attorney
I am creating this blog to help many on a basic needs for a lawyer or an attorney without many legal mumble jumble. There are different kinds of attorneys that is too many to list in one fallen scoop. However, many of us like to think we’ll be around forever or at least we act that way, never giving thought to the necessary make plans for dying or the possibility of getting into an accident or becoming a victim to someone else’s carelessness. So if and when these unfortunately things happen, we suddenly are forced to run around looking for legal advice or assistance. This is why it helps to have the name of a good local lawyer or attorney on hand.
You can start by checking your city’s legal directory or bar association for the name of a general practice attorney who can help you with many different legal questions in which includes estate planning, making a will, preparing a power of attorney for an elderly relatives, arranging guardianship, helping with some debt management, and offering legal counsel for your other matters. You could set up a first meeting to introduce yourself and provide a personal overview. Your attorney can ask about certain areas of your life that could help you in legal direction, or you may want to discuss certain areas that you are not clear on.
If your city does not have a local bar association, you can try contacting the state bar association and request a referral to a licensed practicing attorney in your area. You also might want to try browsing the Internet and visit websites of law firms that specialize in the kinds of law that might be needed to your situation. For example, if you were recently involved in a car accident, you may want to find an attorney who handles personal injury or property damage insurance claims. Or if your elderly parents needs help in paying her bills due to declining physical or mental stability, an lawyer can help you arrange for power of attorney or a guardianship.
Of course, you can always use the yellow pages of the telephone directory and call different law firms listed there when you find one or more ads that appeal to you. Word of mouth is another great way to find out which attorneys come recommended from family members, coworkers, and friends. Some legal firms advertise in the newspaper, on TV, on outdoor signs or on the radio.
You really shouldn't wait until you are in a need for an attorney before contacting one. Consider making a living will in case you are seriously injured or become gravely ill in the future, and a regular will for making final arrangements for your demise, which all of us must expect one day. You also can manage your financial holdings with an attorney’s assistant so that they are ready to pass down when a minor child comes of age. Whatever your personal circumstances, a lawyer may be able to help you get fair terms and benefits to which you are entitled. So start searching today so you will have the name of a lawyer handy when your time of need comes around.
