Being arrested for driving under the influence (also referred to as DUI) has some serious consequences. In some cases, you might risk spending some time in jail, especially if this is not your first offense. Additionally, if you are convicted, you will lose your ability to drive for a minimum of one year. Additionally, you will have to deal with having a DUI conviction on your record, which is a stain that can keep you from getting a job or custody of a child In terms of the financial impact, being convicted of DUI will result in considerable fees.
Being charged with a DUI will generally mean you have to spend money on bond to get out of jail and for the towing and storage of your vehicle. Also, losing the ability to drive may result in job loss, and you will incur additional fees once you can finally get your license back. Keep in mind, this only covers being charged with DUI. If convicted, you will face fines and a major increase in your vehicle's insurance costs.
Every case is different, that's why is important to ask for help from an aggressive criminal defense attorney that will let you know the consequences you are looking to face.
