When I got the ticket, immediately, I thought my career in driving was over! It was until, I spoke to attorney Jesse Nix. The company I work for recommended him to me. And, when I spoke with him he understood my situation. Attorney Jesse Nix added comfort and peace in representing me. He spoke with me about all possibilities of winning, and he didn’t sugar coat the way I could lose either. I appreciate him for his honesty and integrity.

Driving under the influence (DUI) in Utah carries serious legal and administrative consequences. Penalties vary based on the offender’s blood alcohol concentration, prior offenses, and aggravating factors:
- Criminal Penalties: A first-time DUI is generally a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 180 days in jail and fines exceeding $1,000 with surcharges.
- License Suspension: The Utah Driver License Division may suspend a driver’s license for 120 days for a first offense and up to two years for repeat offenders.
- Ignition Interlock Device: Installation may be required for 18 months or longer, especially for high-BAC or repeat offenders.
- Alcohol Education or Treatment: Courts often mandate participation in substance abuse education or treatment programs.
- Felony DUI: A third DUI offense within 10 years is a third-degree felony, which may result in up to five years in prison.
The burden of proof in criminal cases is with the prosecution who must prove your guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Our team’s role is to ensure this burden is discharged. If necessary, we help you negotiate plea deals to ensure the consequences and penalties are minimized.
How Nix Law Can Help

Under Utah’s implied consent law, refusing a chemical test leads to automatic license suspension and may be used as evidence in court.
