There are a lot of fees and fines associated with obtaining a DUI in Illinois. First of all, first time offenders will likely be looking at court fees of $500 to $2,500. Legal bills for a qualified DUI attorney will run between $1,000 and $10,000 depending on the type of attorney you hire and how you plead. If you plead not guilty and require a full trial, attorney costs will likely be in the range of $7,500-$9,000 as opposed to if you plead guilty where you may face fees of $1,000 to $3,000. If you have to get a BAIID device installed, you are looking at an additional $500-$700 in installation and fees. You likely will also be required to attend alcohol classes which can run between $150 and $750. Finally, if your licnese is suspended, it will typically cost you several hundred dollars to get your license reinstated. In our experience, the average total cost of a DUI is around $6,000 for a first time offender who pleads guilty and $11,000 for a first time offender found guilty at trial, although this can vary greatly depending on the severity of the crime, prior convictions, aggrevating factors, etc. Contact a DUI attorney today for a free consultation.
