Criminal Penalties for Felony Drunk Driving in Michigan

Felony charges are extremely serious, and if convicted you could face life changing penalties. According to the Michigan Vehicle Code, 3^rd offense felony OWI charges can result in between 1 and 5 years in prison, along with fines of up to $5,000. If convicted, you will go to jail for at least 30 days, which is the required minimum set by Michigan law, however the possibility of a much harsher sentence is very likely unless you work with a skilled defense lawyer. In addition to jail time and fines, you could be sentenced to up to 80 days community service, vehicle immobilization or forfeiture, and mandatory alcohol support groups or classes.

License revocation for up to 5 years is also possible in felony OWI cases, and after this period you will have to apply for reinstatement of your license, which is by no means guaranteed. Without an attorney, you could never drive again, which is why it is crucial to hire representation as soon as possible. Driver responsibility fees of as much as $2,000, along with the negative effects of a criminal record could also affect your life post-conviction. Grabel & Associates will work with you in your drunk driving case to ensure you are free from unnecessary penalties.
