Evaluation or assessment costs

Use this page to separate evaluation or assessment costs from other DUI-related expenses and verify each amount with the lawyer, court, agency, insurer, or provider that actually charges it.

Documents or quotes to collect

  • Court/agency order
  • Approved provider list
  • Quoted assessment fee
  • Follow-up program recommendation
  • Insurance/payment documentation

Questions before paying

  • Is the evaluation court-ordered, agency-required, or voluntary?
  • Must an approved provider be used?
  • Does the fee include follow-up services?

Do not rely on a national average

DUI-related costs vary by jurisdiction, case stage, provider, and services actually used. A written local quote or official fee schedule is more useful than a national “average DUI cost.”
