At Heritage Law, we provide a comprehensive breakdown of the potential costs associated with a DUI and offer access to seasoned attorneys who can assist with financial planning and legal defenses to potentially lessen these burdens.

That's why we are here - to help you navigate through these choppy financial waters. Stick with us, and we'll explore each cost in detail. Always remember that help is just a call away at (512) 930-0529.

A DUI charge can carry a hefty fine as its most immediate financial penalty. This fine is set by the state and can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of your case. It's important to know that this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the money you may need to pay out.

Paying this fine promptly is crucial as it shows the court you are taking your charge seriously. It can be a substantial amount, however, digging into it with the help of our knowledgeable attorneys can often reveal ways to reduce it or structure the payments in a manageable way.

After the initial fines, court costs are up next. These can be quite perplexing, as they often include many fees for services related to your case processing from administrative fees to those covering the cost of the legal system's resources during your case.

The complexity of these costs can be daunting, but our team is adept at decoding what each fee entails and finding avenues to keep these costs as low as possible for you. With the right guidance, the overwhelming web of court fees becomes less intimidating.

Beyond fines and court fees, there are the attorney fees, costs for court-ordered courses, and charges for any mandatory devices like an ignition interlock. These are costs that many do not anticipate but quickly add up, making a substantial dent in your finances.

We can connect you with attorneys who not only offer vigorous defense but also help you understand and plan for these financial outlays. By managing these additional expenses wisely, the impact on your finances can be reduced significantly.

Lost wages from court appearances, the cost of getting to and from work if your driving privileges are suspended, and potential job loss are hidden financial strains of a DUI charge. These are seldom considered early on but can be financially crippling.
