What a dwi / dui costs in Nebraska
| Typical fine | $500 first offense (Class W misdemeanor), plus costs and programs |
|---|---|
| License points | 6 points |
| Insurance impact | A DUI conviction typically doubles Nebraska premiums and requires SR-22 filing for years afterward. |
| License risk | First offense: 7–60 days jail exposure and a 6-month license revocation, with an ignition interlock permit available; refusing the test is a separate crime with its own revocation. |
Frequently asked questions
Nebraska starts an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) that runs separately from the criminal case — you have only 10 days from arrest to petition for a hearing. That deadline alone is reason to speak with an attorney immediately.
Because the case can't be scoped before the evidence is reviewed — the stop, field sobriety testing, breath or blood results, and the ALR posture all shape what the defense requires. Start with a consultation; a licensed Nebraska attorney will evaluate your case before quoting anything.
Yes — test refusal is its own crime with penalties parallel to a DUI, plus a longer administrative revocation. If you refused, tell your attorney at the consultation; it changes the strategy considerably.
Sometimes — reductions to reckless or careless driving happen, and suppression of an unlawful stop or flawed test can gut the state's case. Whether those paths exist for you is exactly what the initial case review determines.
Many drivers qualify for an ignition interlock permit during the revocation period, which keeps you legally on the road for work and family needs. An attorney can handle the permit while defending the underlying case.
