Are DUI Charges Really that Big of a Deal?
If you don’t treat DUI charges seriously, you could end up facing serious consequences. If you are convicted of driving while under the influence, you could face jail time, significant fines and financial penalties, time-intensive community service requirements, mandatory substance counseling and/or treatment, the suspension or loss of your driver’s license, and other challenges, such as the mandatory vehicle installation of an ignition interlock device. All of these short-term challenges are best avoided, whenever possible. However, some of the most consequential potential outcomes associated with DUI charges are long-term.
If you don’t take your DUI charges seriously, you could end up with either a criminal record or with even more activity logged onto your existing criminal record. This turn of events could make it far more difficult for you to obtain housing, employment, schooling, and even some forms of credit. Criminal convictions can also make it more difficult for parents involved in child custody disputes to win their family law cases.
