The difference between an enjoyable evening with friends and an arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) may be one or two glasses of wine or bottles of beer. It does not take a lot of alcohol to reach a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08. However, the impact of reaching that number during a traffic stop may be catastrophic. There is the social stigma, the professional consequences, and the educational or licensing limitations.

The Law Office of Mark McDaniel recognizes the magnitude of what is at stake for each and every client. Mark McDaniel understands that the consequences of a DUI conviction can disrupt your life for years to come.

DUI convictions can lead to:
  • A loss of your driver’s license
  • Huge fines
  • The placement of an alcohol-sensing ignition device in your case
  • Significant jail time
  • Future job hiring problems
  • The refusal of a license from a state board, and 
  • Lifelong criminal record

What can a DUI cost me?

If convicted of DUI, you may incur the following fines and expenses:
1st Conviction – $350 minimum fine
2nd Conviction – $600 minimum fine
3rd Conviction – $1,100 minimum fine
4th Conviction – $3,000 minimum fine
In addition, you can plan on spending:
Towing Fee/Car storage – $75 and up
Bail/Bond Expense – $125 and up
Defense Attorney – $2,500 and up
Court Costs – $200 and up
Fees to get license back – $300
Increase Insurance Premium – $2,000
Ignition Interlock Installation – $300
Alcohol Education program – $300
Missed Days of Work to be in Court – ??                                           

it is extremely unwise to get a "cheap" lawyer when all these other costs will be incurred if you are convicted!


The Law Office of Mark McDaniel will work with you to implement the strategies to help steer you through the criminal process and place you in the best position to preserve your livelihood and career.

 DUI Defense Strategies:

Although it may seem like your options are limited, there are many ways to defend against a DUI crime:
  • Was the traffic stop legal?
  • Did the charging officer administer the field sobriety test in the appropriate manner? 
  • Did the officer advise you of your rights in the proper manner before making a request for a breathalyzer test? 
  • Did the charging officer or department maintain the breathalyzer equipment in the proper manner? 
  • Was there another cause for your arrest, including any medications or medical conditions that may have influenced the outcome of the testing? 
  • Did the lab handling the blood testing make a mistake?
No attorney can guarantee you a certain result; that would be unethical. But Mark McDaniel knows that when you’re facing DUI charges, you need an experienced and passionate attorney in your corner.
