Sever Felony DUI Penalties
Georgia DUI penalties are already amongst the toughest in the country, and being convicted of a felony DUI makes them even tougher. Because so many of these penalties are automatic upon conviction, you cannot afford to try to face your charges on your own.
In addition to the normal DUI penalties, a felony DUI charge can include:
- Mandatory jail sentence between 90 days and six months
- Possible probation
- Minimum $1,000 fine
- Indefinite license revocation
- Mandatory alcohol safety program completion
- Possible 90-day vehicle seizure and forfeiture
In addition, because these charges are a serious felony in Georgia, you could face additional consequences, such as restrictions on your ability to seek employment or housing. You will also potentially lose other rights and privileges, causing a major impact in your quality of living.
