Why it matters in Delaware
What a dwi / dui costs in Delaware
- Typical fine
- $500–$1,500 first offense (plus program and reinstatement costs)
- License points
- No points — DUI triggers revocation directly
- Insurance impact
- A DUI conviction typically doubles Delaware premiums and requires high-risk filings for years afterward.
- License risk
- 12-month license revocation on a first offense, reducible with ignition interlock enrollment; an administrative revocation runs separately from the criminal case.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do first after a Delaware DUI arrest?
Talk to an attorney before you make any decisions. Delaware runs an administrative license revocation on a short clock separate from your court case, and the early choices — hearing requests, interlock election — shape everything after.
Why don't you quote a flat fee for DUI cases?
Because no honest fee can be quoted before an attorney reviews the stop, the testing procedure, and your record. DUI defense starts with a consultation where a Delaware attorney evaluates your specific facts — then you get a clear picture of options and cost.
What is Delaware's First Offense Election program?
Qualifying first-time offenders may elect a program that avoids a criminal conviction in exchange for revocation, education, and conditions. Whether it's your best option depends on your evidence — an attorney should assess that before you elect anything.
Can a Delaware DUI charge actually be beaten?
Some can. Challenges to the traffic stop, field sobriety administration, and breath or blood testing procedures lead to reduced charges or dismissals in the right cases. Only a case review can tell you where yours stands.
