Post: DUI citation after running red light? Possible to downgrade?

Posted by Ryan on 11/16/11
My wife recently acted irresponsibly and tried to drive home after a night out with some friends. She was running out of gas, intoxicated, and having an anxiety attack. After finally discovering a gas station she ran the redlight right infront of it and there was undercover cop right behind her. She told the guy about everything he asked including where she had been, admitted to drinking...took all the field tests and failed them. Blew a .10 at the scene, and then later a .14 at the station. We live in Arizona, which is one of the stricktest DUI states in the country. This is her first offense, no priors. A lawyer is charging her $4,000 and is going to try and get it lowered to reckless driving or so he says. What is the probable outcome from this with the info I have given?
