What a dwi / dui costs in Mississippi
| Typical fine | $250–$1,000 first offense, plus assessments and program costs |
|---|---|
| License points | No points — DUI triggers direct license suspension and criminal penalties |
| Insurance impact | A DUI conviction typically doubles Mississippi premiums and requires SR-22-style filings for years. |
| License risk | First offense brings up to 48 hours jail, a license suspension (with an ignition-interlock path to keep driving), and completion of an alcohol safety program (MASEP). |
Frequently asked questions
Mississippi suspends administratively — separate from the criminal case — and the window to request review is short. Getting an attorney involved immediately protects both the license and the defense.
Because no honest lawyer can price a DUI without reviewing the stop, the field sobriety tests, and the breath or blood evidence. Start with a consultation — a licensed Mississippi attorney will evaluate your case and quote the defense after seeing the facts.
Miss. Code 63-11-30(14) lets some first offenders complete conditions — interlock, MASEP, fees — and avoid a conviction entirely. Eligibility has strict requirements, and an attorney can tell you whether your case qualifies and whether it's your best path.
Sometimes — bad stops, improper testing procedure, or broken chain of custody can sink the state's case. Whether those defenses exist in your case is unknowable until the evidence is reviewed, which is what the consultation is for.
A conviction stays for years and counts against you if there's ever a second charge — Mississippi's lookback makes repeat offenses dramatically worse. Expungement of a first offense is possible after five years, but avoiding the conviction is far better.
