A Second DUI Conviction Could Send You to Prison
If you have already been convicted of a DUI, you have already experienced the punishments and personal embarrassment. A second DUI can happen, though, and it is not as uncommon as people may think. Insurance rates skyrocket, criminal fines became a part of your household budget, and your license may have been suspended or revoked.
Those consequences will seem minor if you are convicted a second time of DUI within ten years of your first conviction. The police arrest and booking sheets refer to it as a DUI 2nd, but District Attorneys charge it in the information as a 1st Felony DUI. A conviction for a 1st DUI Felony carries from one to five (1-5) years in prison; A 2nd DUI Felony carries from one to ten (1-10) years in prison, and a 3rd Felony DUI conviction carries a sentencing range of one to twenty (1-20) years in prison. If you are facing prison time, you need a seasoned attorney like Zach Smith, The Oklahoma City DUI Guy.

A Level of Advocacy That We Provide Clients Charged with Felony DUI
Probation is not always an option for a Felony DUI, especially if you have had numerous prior DUI arrests or a prior DUI conviction. If it is your second or third Felony DUI, probation is almost never granted. You will face punishment that involves prison. Your need for advocacy has never been greater than when you are facing time behind bars. The OKC DUI Guy will defend you and protect your rights.
Retaining our firm to represent you could mean the difference between you going to prison or going home.
