How to Get Out of an OUI in Maine
Successfully fighting an OUI charge requires understanding Maine’s complex OUI penalties and working with skilled legal counsel. First-time offenders face a minimum $500 fine and 150-day license suspension. More severe penalties apply when drivers refuse testing, with a minimum 96 hours of jail time. Those with a high BAC over .15 face at least 48 hours behind bars. Multiple offenses within 10 years or accidents resulting in injuries carry even harsher consequences.
