Fouth dui....What are my charges

Hello,

I have to respectfully disagree with both of the prior attorneys as to parts of their answers.

As to Attorney Post's answer - it is not a mandatory felony, it is what is referred to as a wobbler, it can be charged as a felony OR a misdemeanor if it's 4 within 10 years. I do agree if it's a 4th you need to fight it.

As to Mueller's answer the minimum is 180, not 120 and can be up to 3 years.

The above doesn't take into account any other factors, such as probation violations, enhancements, etc.

Good luck with your situation and remember the above is general information only and not specific advice to your case.

A fourth DUI in California (where the three prior DUI convictions are within 10 years of the new arrest) is charged as a felony and not a misdemeanor. This is a very serious matter and you should contact a DUI lawyer in Fairfield to discuss your case. Avvo.com is a good resource and so is the California DUI Lawyers Association.

Sincerely,

Adam
