Defending You From Severe Consequences

The consequences for a DUI grow with each offense and felony charges for DUI offenses are based on the number of subsequent DUIs on your record.

With a third offense, you are facing a year of jail time or house arrest and a fine of $1,500 to $2,500, so it is essential to have someone fight for your rights. It is important to know those fines do not include the cost of having your license reinstated, and reinstatement might not even be a viable option for quite some time depending on your circumstances.

Timing is Crucial in Felony DUI Cases

There is a very short window of opportunity to request an administrative hearing to avoid your license suspension. If you do not request that hearing, then your license will be automatically suspended or revoked. Thus, if you are arrested for drunk driving, contacting a criminal defense attorney should be your first move.

In Kansas, DUI offenses permanently affect your record and there is no time limit on subsequent DUIs. Because of this, it is important to hire an attorney in attempt to diminish or dismiss your charges so your first offense does not remain on your record forever.
