A First DUI in Mississippi Timeline

First, after your DUI arrest and you bond out of jail, the arresting officer may have given you paperwork regarding the suspension of your driver’s license. Because of the license suspension, you may need to install an Ignition Interlock Device as ordered by your court and apply for an Interlock restricted license. If this is the case, an Ignition Interlock is a requirement on all motor vehicles you drive. Any DUI test refusals add a 90-day license suspension or Ignition Interlock period.

In any case, you will have an initial court hearing usually within two weeks from your arrest date where you plead guilty or not guilty. Then, you have your court trial set one to six months from your initial court hearing date.

You may want to hire a Mississippi DUI attorney at this point before the court hearings to assist you with your best options. In most cases, defendants contact attorneys within 30 days of their arrest to prepare for their court hearing. You also may need to install an Ignition Interlock prior to your possible DUI conviction in court for 120 days.

You can expect the following to occur after a first DUI in Mississippi conviction.

Fines
Possible jail-time up to 48 hours
Participation in a DUI traffic school course (if required)
You need to apply for and maintain an SR-22 for three years
- An SR-22 is not a requirement if your case is non-adjudicated
