Felony DUI Offenses

Columbus Felony DUI Lawyers - Franklin County Multiple DUI Charge Attorneys

Driving under the influence (DUI) is typically a misdemeanor. However, in two circumstances, 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.

When you are facing felony DUI charges, 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 you were driving.
