At Genie K Rich Law PC, we understand the stress and uncertainty that come with the aftermath of a DUI charge.

If you have questions or need to book an appointment, don't hesitate to reach us at (512) 964-5048. Let's start peeling back the layers and examine the costs you might face and how we can tackle them together.
Understanding DUI Fines and Fees
A DUI conviction often results in both direct and indirect financial consequences. From the get-go, you're likely to be hit with a fine determined by the state in which the offense occurred. These fines vary widely but can escalate into thousands of dollars. Were you aware that, beyond initial fines, there are costs tied to court processes and mandated programs? Yes, the financial toll continues to climb, and we're here to walk you through every step.
Fees may include bail to be released from custody, towing and impound charges for your vehicle, and even the price for an alcohol education program, which is often required. Our attorneys will work with you to anticipate these expenses, so you aren't caught off guard. Remember, we are only a call away at (512) 964-5048 to answer your questions.
Insurance Premium Increases
After a DUI, car insurance premiums often spike significantly. Insurance companies view DUI offenders as high-risk drivers, which can result in your premiums doubling or even tripling. Our experienced attorneys can advise on steps to potentially mitigate these increases and help you navigate the complex world of insurance post-DUI.
We're not just about legal advice; financial planning is integral to our service offering. This means we'll explore every available avenue to cushion the impact on your wallet. You don't have to face these hikes alone, and Genie K Rich Law PC is always ready to lend a hand.
License Reinstatement Costs
Following a DUI, your driver's license will likely be suspended. To get it back, you'll face a series of fees to reinstate it. These vary from state to state but usually involve a substantial sum. And before reinstatement, you might need an SR-22 - proof of car insurance - which is another financial hurdle.
With Genie K Rich Law PC, you'll have access to experts who will explain these costs clearly and map out a budget-friendly plan to regain your driving privileges. We go above and beyond to ease your journey back to the driver's seat. Don't let confusion add to your stress - let us enlighten and guide you through this process.
