What is an Arraignment for DUI?

After a DUI arrest, the suspect is given a date for an arraignment hearing in the courthouse. An arraignment is the chance for a defendant to enter a guilty or not guilty plea to the charges against him or her for a DUI. The decision of how to plea should be decided between the client and the representing attorney. The penalties are harsh in Washington and some defendants choose to make a not guilty plea and request a trial.

The penalties for a DUI can include the following:

• Maximum 1 year jail time and maximum 5 years' probation
• $5,000 fines, driver's license suspension, ignition interlock device
• Drug and alcohol treatment programs

Circumstances of a DUI can determine the severity of the penalty, such as multiple DUIs, underage DUI, DUI traffic accident with deaths or injuries, and others factors.
