The penalties for a DUI conviction will vary according to the particulars of your case. At minimum, you can expect:
- DMV license suspension
- A fine of approximately $2,000
- 3, 6, 9 or months of DUI class
- 3 to 5 years of probation
- Jail time depending on the specifics of the case
If your DUI led to an accident causing death or injury, or if you are a repeat offender, you will be subject to additional penalties. Sentencing enhancements may also apply if you are under 21, had a blood alcohol concentration over .20, had a child with you in the vehicle, or were driving 20mph over the speed limit.
