Individuals charged with a third or fourth DUI have to take into effect that there is a high probability that the State of Florida will up those charges to a felony offense. In Florida, an individual that has been charged with a third DUI that has priors within the last 10 years, can sometimes be classified as a felony offense, and for a fourth-time offense, will routinely be classified as a felony offense.
Again, looking into and being prepared for those actions to happen means that your attorney would assist you in being able to gather the significant pieces of evidence that are going to be needed for an offense of that type of severity because you're going from a simple misdemeanor traffic crime DUI to now a felony offense DUI, that in certain circumstances, can subject you to five to 15 years in prison.
