Is a DUI a misdemeanor or felony in Georgia?
In general, a first-time DUI is a misdemeanor in Georgia. So is a second-time offense. A third offense is a “high and aggravated misdemeanor,” and a fourth or subsequent offense is a felony. However, this assumes that you were arrested for a “standard” DUI. If you caused an accident resulting in serious injury or death, then you could be facing a felony charge even for a first-time offense.
