This includes felonies, misdemeanors, DUI, driving while license suspended, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and (non-criminal) traffic tickets.
If you were charged with DUI First Offense, the penalties are:
- Jail Time: Up to 6 months
- Probation: Up to 12 months
- Fine: $500-$1,000 Plus additional court costs
- License Suspension: 6 months (1 to 5 years suspension for the 2nd offense)
