This is known as an arraignment. For misdemeanor DUI, it is the court date given to you on the bottom of your ticket.

This proceeding is where you will enter a plea of guilty of not guilty. Of course, we recommend you plead not guilty. If you are represented by a lawyer, you do not need to appear in court on this date, provided your attorney handles the matter for you.

Felony DUI begins with a preliminary hearing. You must appear at this proceeding, even if you are represented by an attorney in the felony matter. At this proceeding, a judge decides whether your case should move to Superior Court following a hearing to determine probable cause.

You should exercise your right to remain silent and speak only to your attorney!

The first appearance in a typical Arizona DUI case is the Arraignment. There are very few circumstances where one charged with DUI should do anything other than enter a plea of NOT GUILTY. However, if there are priors DUI convictions, if there was an accident involved, or if you are from out of state and your driver license was suspended, get the advice of an experienced DUI attorney before proceeding as how you proceed may keep you out of prison. In misdemeanor DUI cases in Arizona, a retained attorney can usually take care of the first appearance without the client's presence.
