With a DUI conviction, you stand to have: your right to operate a motor vehicle suspended or revoked, pay a fine which will include court cost, possible extended incarceration, and/or the requirement of a breathing device installed in your vehicle. All of these can add up to thousands of dollars.
The typical fine for a first offense DUI in California in $1400 to $1800. Remember that this is only a portion of the financial setback you will encounter if convicted.
Having a breathing machine installed in your vehicle will mean that you incur the cost of the installation in addition to paying for the unit to be reviewed. The unit is reviewed to see if you have been attempting to drive while intoxicated. In some places you can expect to pay as much as $400 for the unit and installation. Some reports state that the fee for monthly review can cost as much $100.
As you can see, the financial obligations which come with a DUI can be quite drastic. Retaining the proper legal counsel represent you. Having a competent lawyer may result in a reduced fine and/or less intense sentencing.
