In the state of Nevada, the maximum punishment for a DUI conviction for a first-time offender is up to six months in jail and up to $1,000 in fines. The jail sentence is typically commuted, and offenders will be sentenced to DUI school and 96 hours of community service. First-time offenders will also be required to attend a Nevada Alcohol Victim Impact Panel, and suffer a 90-day suspension of your driver’s license with a $35 civil penalty fee. After 45 days, first-time offenders will be eligible for a work-restricted license.
Out of state clients should be aware that Nevada is a member of the Driver’s License Compact, an agreement between states to report traffic violations. If your state is a member of this pact you could face consequences for tickets, DUIs, and other driving infractions both here in Nevada and in your state of residence.
