Have you just been arrested for your first Sacramento DUI? If you have  here are the penalties you can face, but remember an arrest doesn’t necessarily mean a conviction:

• Jail – From 96 Hours to 6 Months
• Fine – From $390 to $1000
• License Suspension – 6 Months
• Must Complete a Driving Under the Influence Program
• May Be Ordered to Install Ignition Interlock Device (IID)
• Must Provide Proof of Financial Responsibility for Reinstatement

With the help of an experienced Sacramento DUI attorney these penalties may not have to be your fate. Your lawyer can show, in most cases, there is not proof beyond a responsible doubt you are guilty of drunk driving.  This is one of many reasons why you should hire a Sacramento DUI lawyer.

Keep in mind you must schedule a Sacramento DUI Administrative License Hearing withing 10 days of your arrest to avoid automatic license suspension.
