Including court fines, chemical testing fees, and higher insurance premiums, a first time D.U.I. arrest could cost about $10,000. There are 2 things that take place after a person is arrested for D.U.I. The first is that there is a criminal investigation, and the second is there is an administrative proceeding (in which it’s determined of the D.M.V. will suspend the person’s driver’s license). It’s important to know that that’s what happens if no accidents occurred, and no one was injured by the intoxicated driver. If either, or both, of those things occurred it could be a very different process.
