After Colorado enacted its felony DUI law, the stakes became much higher for those with three previous drunk driving convictions in any U.S. state or territory. A fourth DUI or DWAI is a Class 4 felony, and upon conviction the driver is subject to 2-6 years in prison plus a large fine.
You may not have worried too much when you were arrested for drunk driving in the past. After all, before 2015 every DUI or DWAI was a misdemeanor. But this time, it’s different. A fourth conviction will probably mean prison time, so you need strong and effective representation.
