The law allows very little leeway to prosecutors and judges in dealing with your DUI case. Nolo contendere pleas, also known as no contest pleas, offer you no real protection any more. A DUI, even a first offense, will be a costly affair. In Georgia, the costs of a first DUI are signicant. The following is an estimate of charges that you will face if you plead or are convicted of a DUI. The chart below shows some of the expenses which you will incur because of a DUI. You must balance the cost of not fighting the charge against the cost of fighting to protect your rights. These costs are not only financial but mental, emotional, social, and professional as well. A DUI charge will follow you throughout your life.
*State law requires a minimum fine of $300.00, but most courts impose at least a $500.00 fine. **State law requires 12 months probation (calculated at $23.00 per month) ***Estimate amount only.
