Avoid the Harsh Penalties of a Fourth-Time DUI Conviction with Our Help
A fourth DUI charge can be either a misdemeanor or felony. In Kern County, it is typically charged as a felony, however. Depending on how the offense is charged, you will be facing either 1 year in jail with 3 to 5 years of probation or 3 years in prison. You will also have your license suspended for a period up to the discretion of the judge, typically several years. If you are sentenced to prison, you will get a lifelong criminal record that cannot be cleared. Felony probations, however, can be expunged in some cases.
Beyond the obvious penalties of a felony DUI conviction, as listed above, your life could be negatively affected in ways you had not previously foreseen. Once you have a felony DUI on your record, all future DUI’s will be charged as felonies. Additionally, most employers or educational institutions will turn down applicants on grounds of a single felony on their record.
