Q: 3rd DUI
2014 I got a misdemeanor dui. Was put on 3 year deferred sentence. Completed everything on that. In 2017 I ended up getting another Dui which was a felony, was placed on 5 year deferred sentence. 1 week ago I just got pulled over for another Dui so Just looking to see if that means jail time
A: Every DUI carries the potential of jail time. However, on a 2nd time felony offense you’re more likely to have some time. You definitely need to hire a lawyer to review your case and not just agree to whatever the DA is offering.
