A third DUI / Drunk Driving offense in five years or a fourth offense in a lifetime is considered a felony. A felony DUI / Drunk Driving conviction carries a minimum of one to two years imprisonment and up to two to five years in jail, with a mandatory minimum sentence. Fines range from $1500 - $5000 for a third offense and $3000 - $7000 for a 4th DUI / Drunk Driving offense.

Your case may look open and shut, but the prosecutor must show that certain procedures were followed correctly during your arrest. I have the skills, knowledge, and resources to uncover any weaknesses in the prosecution's case against you. Remember, under the law you are innocent until proven guilty.
As part of my defense strategy, I will analyze any available police squad car videos to understand if the arresting officer had a legitimate reason to pull you over for suspicion of DUI / Drunk Driving. I will also evaluate how the field sobriety test was conducted and results from the Breathalyzer / Intoxilyzer test to uncover any procedural or mechanical errors.
If you are facing felony charges stemming from vehicular homicide / manslaughter, I will consult an accident scene reconstructionist to understand the factors that led to the accident. After conducting a thorough investigation, I will fight for the felony charge to be reduced to a misdemeanor if another factor outside of your driving habits directly caused the accident. For example, if the other driver ran a red light or made an illegal turn, I will advocate for your charges to be greatly reduced.
