Driving Under the Influence (DUI): What You Need to Know
Getting charged with a DUI is a stressful and potentially life-changing experience. Whether it’s your first offense or a repeat incident, the consequences can be severe: license suspension, heavy fines, increased insurance rates, and even jail time.
At Kisel Law, we understand the fear and confusion that follows a DUI arrest. Our goal is to help you navigate the legal process, protect your rights, and minimize the long-term impact on your life.
What Happens After a DUI Arrest?
After a DUI arrest, the clock starts ticking. Here’s a brief overview of what you can expect:
-
License Suspension: In many states, your license may be suspended automatically unless you request a DMV hearing within a specific timeframe.
-
Court Appearance: You’ll receive a notice of your arraignment date, where you will plead guilty, not guilty, or no contest.
-
Criminal Penalties: Penalties may include fines, mandatory DUI classes, probation, or jail time.
-
Ignition Interlock Device (IID): Some drivers may be required to install an IID in their vehicle.
Each state has different DUI laws, and penalties vary based on prior offenses, BAC level, and whether any harm occurred. That’s why it’s crucial to consult with a DUI attorney as soon as possible.
