DUI Conviction: What Types of Penalties Might I Face?
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,
