The fines for a DUI arrest will vary based a variety of circumstances unique to your arrest, including whether this was your first DUI and whether you’ve had prior DUI convictions or Wet Reckless convictions. Likewise, if you are charged with a felony DUI, rather than a misdemeanor DUI , the fines will likely be greater.
