DUI in Thibodaux and Lafourche Parish: Consequences of Conviction

If you are worried that hiring a top-rated criminal defense attorney is too expensive, just consider the long-term expenses you’ll be hit with if the charges against you aren’t minimized or dropped:

  • License reinstatement fees
  • Hefty fines: ranging from $300 to $2,000, plus court costs
  • Increased insurance rates of 30% for years to come

And when you factor in the punishments that affect your ability to earn a living, it only gets worse:

  • Jail time: from 24 hours up to 30 years
  • Suspension of your driver’s license for long periods of time
  • Mandatory community service: Minimum 32 hours up to 240 hours, half of which must be trash pickup

If you are a repeat offender, the penalties for multiple DUI convictions only get worse. Here’s what else the law has in store for repeat offenders:

  • Ignition Interlock device on your car for a period of years at your expense
  • Long prison terms for up to 30 years or more
  • Inpatient substance abuse program
  • Loss of your driver’s license
  • Criminal record in state and federal databases

Your Options After a DUI Arrest

Many people falsely believe that pleading guilty is their only option when charged with a DUI in Louisiana. 

That is rarely the case. Instead, you have options such as:

  • Challenging the field sobriety test or Breathalyzer results
  • Fighting against an illegal search
  • Taking an 894 plea to keep the conviction off your record
  • Reducing the charge to “wet reckless“

You won’t know your best legal defense until you speak with a experienced criminal defense attorney. Allow McMillin Law to fight for your rights.
