What Happens To First Time Offenders in Alaska?
Alaska First Offender for DUI Offenses
You are OUI in Alaska if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08% or higher.
DUI / OUI / DWI First Offender Penalties
Jail
Not less than 72 consecutive hours nor more than one year in jail. The average is three days, for which you are charged $270 in costs.
Fines/Fees
Not less than $250 nor more than $5,000 fine. $1500 is average.
The Real Cost
The State of Alaska estimates the real total costs of an average first offense to be about $22,740.
License Suspension
Mandatory revocation of driving privileges for not less than 90 days. License Reinstatement Fee: $200.
The statutes require that defendants whose licenses are revoked by the court face additional administrative license revocation by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
The court revocation may be concurrent with (at the same time as) or consecutive to (in addition to) the DMV revocation. If a driver fails a chemical test (has a test result of 0.08% or greater) or refuses to take a chemical test, the law enforcement officer will seize the driver’s license and give the driver a “Notice and Order of Revocation.”
That notice informs the driver that the driver’s license or privilege to drive will be revoked by DMV on the eighth day following the arrest.
The notice serves as a temporary license for seven days and describes how to request an administrative review of the revocation.
A request for an administrative review must be made in writing within seven days after the driver receives the notice.
The driver may write a letter or use a form obtainable from DMV. The request for a hearing should be mailed or delivered to DMV at Department of Administration, Anchorage Driver’s Licensing, 1300 W. Benson Boulevard, Suite 100, Anchorage, AK 99503-3689.
When a request is received, DMV will issue a temporary license, which is valid until the date of the administrative hearing. If the driver is dissatisfied with the result of the DMV hearing, the driver may file an appeal with the court.
Limited License Privileges
The court may grant limited license privileges to allow a DUI defendant to drive in order to earn a livelihood if the court determines that the driver may drive without excessive risk to the public.
The availability and terms of a limited license will vary depending on the driver’s criminal, driving and treatment history. If the defendant’s license was also suspended by DMV, the defendant must also obtain a limited license from DMV.
A request for a limited license from DMV may be made by paying a nonrefundable $100 fee and completing an application form available at DMV offices.
The form requires a certification of employment and, in many cases, a certification of good standing with an alcohol counseling agency.
The applicant will also be required to provide proof of future financial responsibility (either a Certificate of Insurance or a $125,000 surety bond).
If DMV grants a limited license, the driver may submit the same limited license application form to the court. REINSTATEMENT OF A DRIVER’S LICENSE At the end of any period of revocation, a driver must apply for a new license at DMV.
The original license that was surrendered will not be returned. Before a new license will be issued, the driver must meet DMV requirements.
Conditional Licensing in Alaska
At the court’s discretion, you may be allowed a limited occupational license in Alaska following a 30-day minimum revocation provided that you are participating in an education or treatment program (which you must complete).
Test Refusal in Alaska
If you refuse to take a chemical test of your breath after being arrested for DWI, your driver’s license, privilege to drive or your privilege to obtain a license will be revoked by the Division of Motor Vehicles. This revocation will occur even when the criminal charge of DWI or Refusal is dismissed, or you are found not guilty in court. The revocation for Refusal is for 90 days if you have not previously been convicted of DWI or Refusal to take the breath test.
Education/ Treatment
All offenders are required to attend education or treatment as recommended by an alcohol assessment. First offenders must attend 8 to 15 hours of classroom instruction at a cost of $20 to $150. An alcohol assessment will determine the extent of treatment, if any. In Alaska offenders failing to comply with the terms of their program are not eligible for license reinstatement and shall be subject to revocation of probation and incarceration.
Under 21
Under 21 you are subject to the same laws and penalties as adults (see above).
Insurance
Your insurance rates will probably climb considerably, and your insurance carrier may drop you. The rates for family members and sometimes your employer can increase as well. Required SR22 Insurance alone comes to $2,000 per year for 5 years.
More Serious Charges
You may be charged with felony OUI / DUI / DWI (possibly leading to much greater penalties) if you are involved in a crash involving serious injury or death.
Actual Client Reviews of Leigh Ann Bauer
Law Office of Leigh Ann Bauer
Leigh Ann and her staff were very professional, great to work with and was interested in seeing and telling my side of the story. If I ever need another lawyer in the future (which I hope I don't) Leigh Ann would be my first call.
N.S.
Leigh Ann was worth every penny. Now with that (and everything else in life) there are pros and cons, ups and downs, and here is no different. I had a handful of issues as a first-time defendant and some of those "issues" were with this office. However, the good things here far outweighed any delay or complaint that I might have had. They are highly experienced and extremely busy. My best advice is; to help them help you, you may need to do some homework and provide some evidence to arm them with certain details for your specific case. If you are willing to wait and put in some effort, this office will handle the rest.
E.J.
Leigh Ann did a amazing job with my case Put in a lot of work an got me off the hook
Highly recommend her, they are very busy if it takes a while to hear from them just give it time they will be in touch with you an keep you vary up to date as things move along
Best possible outcome, professional representation. Highly recommended!
I was recommended Leigh Ann Bauer, and I'm very glad I called her. She was able to get my whole case dismissed, it took some time but it was well worth the wait! Don't hesitate to call the office and see what they can do for you. 10/10 Highly Recommend.

I would just like to thank Lean Bauer and her team for their hard work in helping me get not one but two DUI charges dropped. The first one was a few years back and just recently they pulled through for me once again. I wouldn't call on anyone else for legal assistance because they never hesitate when it comes to having my back and they're just flat out good at what they do. Period.
Thanks again and keep up the great work!!!!

Attorney Bauer represented me in a dui case and it was the best decision I have made. She goes the full mile and looks at every piece of evidence.In my case the data master results were challenged, the trial to dismissed lasted approximately 2 1/2 years and attorney Bauer never flinched. Ultimately the case was dismissed despite a relentless assault by the state and crime lab.
Attorney Bauer is the real deal and you won't regret having her represent you!!!

Well received a Dui last year, which was certainly my fault. Asked if Lee Ann Bauer would take my case and she agreed. Clearly a very busy woman, however she employs an amazing staff to do the leg work it takes to win a case or just to do the research required to be successful. Reasonable retainers and fees, nothing in this world is free certainly when you do the screwing up. I will recommend this firm and there amazing staff of professionalism i received. This case was a year long still never actually went to court. I couldn't of been more please with the results. Huge thank you to Connie, Liz, and Lee Ann for taking care of my case. I really want to thank Jeanne she is an amazing person who words can't describe. These are some of the busy lady's I know working in your Best interest.

BEST ATTORNEY IN ALASKA! I hired Leigh Ann last year when I was arrested for a DUI. I called Leigh Ann and hired her on the spot. I have never been in trouble before and didn't understand the process. When I talked to her on the phone, she walked me through the process and made me feel very comfortable in her ability to handle my case. If I received a DUI, I would lose my job, so I was extremely impatient out of fear. I would call all the time wanting to know the next steps and learned really quick to just trust she had my best interest. I read some of the bad comments on here when I was nervous and started to wonder if they were true. She is very busy and at times I can see where people could feel they're not getting a good quality attorney, but I can tell you from my own experience you will not get a better attorney! If she is able to sit on the phone all day, and then she wouldn't be doing her job. All you have to do is contact Liz and she will answer your questions. It's best if you email Liz, she responds within a timely manner.
Last week I received an email from Leigh Ann and the DA dropped my case!!! I will be forever grateful for Leigh Ann and Liz. I highly recommend Leigh Ann she will work hard for you, just trust the process and be patient. My case took a year to get dropped.

Attorney Bauer and her staff help me with my case. I am Mexican and English is my 2nd language, Ms. Bauer understood that due to this I need someone who would fought for my rights.
They got an Spanish Interpreter to come to court with me so that I could understand what was happening in Court. They got my case reduced to a Reckless Driving so I will not have a DUI on my record. Attorney Bauer and her staff was awesome.

Leigh and her staff helped me with a case that came up, and were helpful and professional the throughout the entire process.

I can't recommend Attorney Bauer and her staff enough. they will go the extra mile to make sure they get an excellent results for their clients.

La abogada Bauer y su personal me ayudaron en un caso muy difícil. El inglés es mi segundo idioma y con el arduo trabajo del abogado Bauer pudimos reducir mi caso.

No puedo recomendar a la abogada Bauer y su personal lo suficiente. harán un esfuerzo adicional para asegurarse de obtener excelentes resultados para sus clientes.

I'd like to give a big thank you to the Law office of Leigh Ann Bauer, both to Attorney Bauer herself and to Liz and the other staff that helped me with my case. Attorney Bauer's office was very efficient and performed above and beyond with every aspect of my case. Through hard work and determination, she was able to get my sentence reduced to a Reckless Driving.
It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing I won't have a DUI on my permanent record. She even met me in the middle when I expressed concern about finances.

We went to trial and the jury acquitted me.
They didn't buy the prosecutor's argument that the machine wasn't malfunctioning. I still have my job on the slope because she fought my case all the way.
