Felony DUI
What to Expect After a Third DUI Charge
Most DUI offenses are charged as misdemeanors, but a third DUI conviction within 10 years is considered a felony. There are some exceptions such as if you have completed a DUI diversion program in the past. A felony DUI, known as a felony DUII in Oregon, accompanies harsh fines, jail time and a loss of driving privileges. It is imperative that you are aware of the possible consequences of a felony charge and how to minimize the damage.
Your driver’s license is at risk for permanent revocation. You can appeal the decision in an administrative hearing, or you may qualify for limited driving privileges. Our attorneys can help you apply for a probationary permit so you can still get to work or seek employment. Additional criminal penalties for a third DUI charge may include:
- Up to five years in jail
- A minimum of $2000 if you receive no jail time
