DUI Lawyer in Castle Rock, Colorado: 4th DUI is a Felony in Parker

Contact a DWAI / DUI lawyer in Castle Rock if facing charges of DUI / DWAI.

DUI Lawyer in Castle Rock, Colorado

4th DUI is a Felony in Parker
When a person drives a motor vehicle or vehicle under the influence of alcohol or one or more drugs in Castle Rock or Parker, or a combination of both alcohol and one or more drugs, they commit driving under the influence (DUI). If they drive a motor vehicle or vehicle while impaired by alcohol or one or more drugs, or by a combination of alcohol and one or more drugs, they commit driving while ability impaired (DWAI). If someone receives up to 3 DUI or DWAI convictions (or a combination of the two), the maximum punishment is up to one year in the Douglas County Jail. This is a tough punishment, but not compared to the punishment for a fourth DUI or DWAI, which is felony and a 6-year sentence to the Colorado Department of Corrections. If facing charges of DUI / DWAI in Castle Rock or Parker, contact a DWAI / DUI lawyer in Castle Rock at 303-265-1950 today.

Highlands Ranch DUI Attorney: Fourth DUI Conviction is Crippling in Douglas County

Driving under the influence and driving while ability impaired in Highlands Ranch and Douglas County are normally charged as a misdemeanor. But, they are a class 4 felony if a person receives 3 or more prior convictions for DUI, DUI per se, DWAI, Vehicular Homicide, Vehicular Assault or any combination of these. A felony DUI or DWAI conviction is crippling. Convicted felons suffer when trying to apply for a job, apartment, or security clearance. Potential employers and landlords are often unsympathetic towards those who have a criminal record. Additionally, parole is added to any prison sentence for DUI / DWAI, and if a person wants to drive while on parole, they must have an interlock ignition device installed in their vehicle. The 6-year prison sentence to DOC does not include other charges which we frequently see with DUI charges, such as Vehicular Assault or Hit and Run.
