DUI Convictions are Expensive
Being charged with driving under the influence (DUI) is not only detrimental to resumes and future job applications, but also to your pocketbook. Conviction for a DUI is one of the most costly offenses, regardless of whether or not the defendant hires a personal attorney. Studies indicate that DUI related expenses can range anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 for first time offenders.
