*Penalties
The most basic and direct dui penalties typically ordered by the court include probation, jail, fines and DUI school. If there are any other charges, enhancements or you are under 21 there may be additional consequences. Secondary penalites include a likely rise in insurance premiums and all the costs associated with getting your California Driver's License back after a period of suspension. Assuming your license is suspended, you will have to file a SR-22, get enrolled in a DUI school, install an Ignition Interlock Device and pay DMV a fee, which I estimate to cost $1900.00. This is in addition to the court costs and the money you will have to pay the sheriff for alternative sentence time, in order to avoid having to go back to jail. If this isn't bad enough, a second or third DUI presents a number of additional problems that we can explain if you have an interest or need.
