Franklin County Multiple DUI Charge Attorneys
Driving under the influence (DUI) is typically a misdemeanor. However, there are two circumstances in which DUI is charged as a felony. The first is if you are arrested for drunk driving and you have been convicted of DUI three times within the past six years. The second is if you are arrested for drinking and driving and you have been convicted of DUI five or more times within the past 20 years. Felony DUI is much more serious than misdemeanor DUI. Representation from an experienced criminal defense attorney is critical.

Felony DUI vs. Misdemeanor DUI
You know the repercussions of misdemeanor DUI. You know that they increase gradually with each offense. When you are charged with felony DUI, you are looking at a significant increase in the potential penalties you will face if convicted. You are looking at the possibility of up to five years in prison and a lifetime driver's license suspension, as well as forfeiture of the vehicle driven if registered to you.

We are trial attorneys, willing to fight to protect your rights.
