        "text": "A first DUI typically results in: driver's license suspension (90 days to 1 year), fines of $500–$2,000+, possible jail time (1–10 days), mandatory DUI school, and probation. An experienced DUI attorney can often negotiate reduced charges, limited license suspension, or case dismissal based on procedural errors."

      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "This depends on your state. Most states have \"implied consent\" laws — refusing a breathalyzer triggers automatic license suspension (often longer than a DUI conviction). However, a breathalyzer test can be challenged in court. Consult an attorney about your state's specific laws."

      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "DUI attorneys typically charge $1,500–$5,000 for a first offense. Complex cases with accidents, injuries, or high BAC cost $5,000–$15,000+. Many offer free consultations and payment plans. The cost of NOT having an attorney — higher fines, longer suspension, criminal record — usually exceeds the attorney's fee."

      "name": "Can a DUI be expunged from my record?",
      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "In many states, a first DUI can be expunged after completing your sentence, paying fines, and waiting the required period (typically 3–7 years). Expungement doesn't always prevent a second DUI from being treated as a repeat offense. An attorney can advise on your state's specific rules."
