FELONY DUI DEFENSE ATTORNEY LOCATED IN BLUE SPRINGS
First-time misdemeanor DUI is like getting hit by a brick.
But there is a whole class of more serious DUI charges that are like a whole wall crashing down on you:
- A second conviction within five years will earn you a year in prison, a fine up to $1,000, and loss of your license for a year.
- A third DUI will label you a “persistent offender,” take your license, sentence you to up to four years in prison and get you a fine up to $5,000. (Class D felony)
- A fourth conviction will label you as an “aggravated offender.” Prison time is now up to seven years. (Class C felony)
- A fifth conviction will label you as a “chronic offender” — five to 15 years in prison. (Class B felony)
You think this can’t happen to you, or that someone with aggravated DUI or multiple offenses deserves what they get. But these offenses, which could be no more than a drink at an anniversary or graduation party 10 years apart, can actually happen to anybody who’s unlucky enough to be pulled over.
What do you do when you’re facing felony DUI charges? You find a lawyer with an outstanding record for dismissals and acquittals — Troy J. Leavitt of Blue Springs, Missouri.
