The moment you are charged with a DUI, the financial meter starts running. You'll likely need to post bail, pay for towing and impound fees, and, of course, there are the court-imposed fines which vary widely by state but can run into the thousands of dollars. Add to that the cost of hiring a competent defense attorney to navigate the legal complexities of your case, and you have a serious financial challenge on your hands.

Thankfully, our team at Doyen Sebesta & Poelma Lllp is ready to connect you with skilled attorneys who not only understand the law inside and out but also know how to manage the financial implications of these charges.

A DUI often results in the suspension or revocation of your driver's license, which comes with its own set of costs. Reinstatement fees can add up quickly, not to mention the costs of any mandatory DUI education programs or treatment courses you may be required to attend. These programs are not only time-consuming but also yet another blow to your budget.

Our attorneys can provide counsel on how to possibly reduce or navigate these expenses, guiding you toward the most cost-effective options. They have the expertise to help you understand your obligations and can offer strategies to fulfill them without unnecessary overspending.

Perhaps one of the ongoing costs of a DUI is the spike in auto insurance premiums. Known as SR-22 insurance, it's a requirement for drivers who are considered high-risk due to a DUI charge. This can sometimes double or even triple your insurance rates, which can last for several years.

Our team is experienced in addressing the realities of increased insurance costs. We can help you find the most affordable solutions and advocate for you in attempts to mitigate this particular financial burden.

Beyond the direct costs associated with legal obligations, a DUI can have long-reaching indirect financial implications. Loss of employment, the inability to get to work, and other personal setbacks can add substantial strain to your economic situation.

When these challenges arise, it's crucial to have a knowledgeable ally by your side. Our attorneys are prepared to advise on a range of financial planning and legal strategies to limit how much a DUI can affect not only your current circumstances but also your future prospects.
