AAA Reports The Cost Of A DUI Conviction in California Is Now $15,649.00

In 2010 the AAA did a study and found that a person can expect to pay over $12,000 if convicted of a DUI in California.  That study was revised for 2013 and it has risen over $3,000.  Due in large part to increased fines, booking fees and attorneys fees, the cost continues to skyrocket.  The important thing to keep in mind is that these costs only are incurred if you are convicted of the DUI, if the offense is reduced or dismissed in Court your costs would be significantly less.
