DUI Conviction: What Types of Penalties You Could Be Facing
A drunk driving conviction can have staggering consequences. For instance,
the financial strain of paying fines, the costs of enrolling in and completing
mandatory education/counseling programs, finding a new automobile insurer,
and maintaining an ignition interlock device (IID) can drain your bank
account quickly.
- Other potential consequences are detailed below:
-
Your Livelihood: Your career may also depend on a successful defense. If you are required
to carry a commercial driver's license or a security clearance in
order to do your job, you may find yourself at risk of unemployment if
you are convicted of DUI.
-
Your Future: Even if this is your first offense, you may be facing extensive jail
time, expensive fines, and other probationary consequences. Some judges
will impose lengthy active jail sentences, if a vehicle collision was involved.
-
Your License: Offenders who have been convicted of a crime may be at risk of losing
their license. Even if you have not been convicted of a DUI, you may lose
your license if you have refused a breath or blood test due to Virginia’s
Implied Consent Laws.
For all these reasons and more, you need an attorney on your side whom
you can trust. Turn to me, Andy Cornick, for the experienced and knowledgeable
