Re: my first dui became a felony

If you are still on probation for the first DUI, depending on the judge and county, you could face the penalty for the first DUI, which was 180 days in jail. You should seek out an attorney like myself who has handled many of these cases, and has expertise to help you.

There are attorneys that will paint a rosy colored picture without having been in front of a particular judge, or in a particular county. I suggest that you not take what they tell you for gospel.

Do yourself a favor and start attending AA or enroll in a alcohol abuse program. Then hire an attorney. If you are correct and you dui became a felony you could be looking at prison time. The drunk in public six months after the dui, may have occurred while you were on probation for the dui. Thus the dui was a violation of probation.
