Know What Can Happen After DUI Arrests

The state of California takes DUI offenses incredibly seriously, doing all it can to penalize those who have committed this offense. A first-time DUI conviction can be significantly punishing, even when the evidence of the driver’s wrongdoing is questionable at best.
Sentencing after a DUI will likely include:
  • Up to $1,000 in fines
  • Several hundred dollars in fees
  • Up to 6 months in jail
  • 4-month revocation of driver’s license
  • Ignition interlock device installation
  • Mandatory DUI education course
Penalties can be enacted against you even before you are convicted of a DUI. If you refuse to take a chemical test after you have been detained or arrested, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will be instructed to immediately suspend your license for an entire year, 8 months more than a first-time DUI will suspend it. Since the DMV is an administration and not a branch of the criminal justice system, you will have to request a DMV hearing to keep your license until your criminal DUI case is decided.

DUI Defense When Your Freedom Hangs in the Balance

Our Sonoma County DUI attorney understands that the stakes are high after you have been charged for a DUI; losing your ability to drive, even if you escape jail time and high fines, will be devastating to your wellbeing and day-to-day life.
