Not sure what the fine from the State will be, but I have read studies that calculate the overall costs of a DUI at around $10-14,000. This includes not only the fine, but court costs, attorney fees, required classes and all the other "costs" that are associated with the felony. If you are concerned about the $$ angle, then the fine will be the least of your concerns... |
