What type of penalties might I face if I am convicted of an Oregon DUI charge?

As noted above, a DUII in Oregon is usually a Class A misdemeanor crime. Upon conviction, a defendant can receive a variety of penalties including:

• Probation (either formal probation, court aka bench probation, or enhanced bench probation);
• Jail time (ranging from two days to up to one year) for a misdemeanor DUI and prison time (typically 13 months or more) for a felony DUI;
• A license suspension / revocation of either one year, three years, or lifetime;
• A fine generally ranging from $1,000 to $6,250;
• Additional fees as required by state law;
• An alcohol / drug evaluation plus treatment (costs vary);
• Attendance at a victims impact panel (this session, commonly known as a "victims panel," costs $50 or less).
