There are significant costs associated with a DUI conviction
I understand how being charged with a DUI can have devastating effects on you, your job, and your family. The stress, the inconvenience, the humility of jail can all play a role. Add to that the financial burden.
According to a recent article by the Automobile Club of Southern California, the average cost for a first offense DUI is over $12,000. That does not include time off work, an ignition interlock device, or penalty assessments charged by the court.
