If you can't afford an private attorney you can be represented by a public defender. Many private DUI attorneys will work with you on payments.

A DUI is not strictly related to alcohol. You can receive a DUI for drugs as well, even legally consumed drugs. Remember, alcohol consumption is also legal. What is illegal is to drive while under the influence of either drugs or alcohol. A DUI is very costly. Punishable by a maximum of 1 year in jail and a $5,000.00 fine. Mandatory minimum jail time is i day, but could be more based upon the facts. Minimum fine is about $1,000.00. suspension of license for 90 days, after suspension you will have an ignition interlock on your car for 1 year; also required to submit to alcohol/drug treatment if the court requires. Insurance rates will increase dramatically.
