DUI / DWI Bond

A DUI or DWI arrest often means being taken into custody and needing to post a bond before release. These situations can feel overwhelming, especially if it is your first time dealing with the legal system.

After the arrest, a judge or magistrate will set a bail amount. This amount acts as a financial guarantee that the person arrested will return for all required court appearances.

If paying the full bail amount is not realistic, a bail bond allows you to secure release quickly by paying only a percentage of the total bail.

DUI charges are often connected with other offenses such as reckless driving or even drug-related charges, depending on the situation.

Viking Bail Bonds works to make this process simple, fast, and straightforward so you can focus on what matters next.

What Affects the Bond Amount?

Several factors can influence how much a DUI / DWI bond will be:

• Prior DUI or DWI convictions
• Blood alcohol level
• Whether an accident occurred
• Injuries or property damage
• Refusal to submit to testing
• Whether minors were present in the vehicle

First-time DUI arrests often have lower bonds, while repeat offenses or aggravated circumstances typically result in higher bond amounts and stricter conditions.

Common Conditions of Release

A DUI / DWI bond may come with court-ordered conditions, such as:

• No alcohol consumption
• Ignition interlock requirements
• Valid license compliance
• No new law violations
• Mandatory court appearances

Violating these conditions can result in the bond being revoked and re-arrest.
