Common DUI Penalties

DUI convictions can result in harsh penalties.  The type of DUI and other factors such as repeat offenses, at fault for a traffic collision with property damage, injuries or fatalities, or hit and run can make a difference during sentencing.  A first time offender may face a light sentence.  Common penalties associated with DUI convictions can include:

• Jail or prison, large fines, parole or probation
• Driver's license suspension or revocation
• Community service, restitution
• Alcohol classes and rehabilitation programs
• Ignition locking device
• Expensive fines and increased insurance rates

A judge may increase penalties depending on the circumstances of the DUI.  Defendants should always challenge a DUI because the drunk driving testing procedures are often inaccurate and unreliable.  Arrests procedures, witness accounts and other evidence presented by prosecution are open to attack by defense during court proceedings. 

A skilled and experienced DUI defense attorney can represent the rights and best interests of clients during all phases of administrative, state and health care board hearings.  Our goal is the best possible outcome for DUI clients and protection of their licenses and careers.  Make an appointment today for a consultation with one of our experienced DUI defense attorneys.
