The penalties for a first time DUI conviction can be harsh, including costly fines and possible jail time, among other consequences.

Chandler DUI Penalties

Penalties for a first time DUI conviction can include fines of roughly $1,400, a license suspension of 90 days up to 1 year, jail time of 24 hours to 10 days and other penalties. The penalties for a second, third or subsequent conviction of DUI can significantly increase depending on the circumstances in the case. A second (non-extreme) DUI conviction could carry penalties of approximately $3,400 in fines, minimum of 90 days in jail (with a possibility of 60 days suspended), a one-year license revocation and other penalties such as ignition interlock device requirements (12-24 months), alcohol screening and counseling and up to 5 years’ probation. Penalties are harsher if the second DUI is charged as Extreme or ‘Super’ Extreme (higher BAC levels). The penalties are progressively harsher if this is a 3rd (or subsequent) DUI in 84 months. Given the significant penalties in DUI convictions with a prior DUI record, it is critical to seek the advice and counsel of an experienced Chandler DUI Attorney.
