Felony DUI Penalties in Kentucky

In Kentucky, a DUI is considered a felony if it is your fourth or subsequent DUI offense within a 10-year period. The penalties for felony DUIs in Kentucky are severe and may include:

Imprisonment
A felony DUI conviction in Kentucky could result in imprisonment ranging from one to five years. The length of imprisonment depends on the specifics of your case and any aggravating factors, such as causing an accident or having a high blood alcohol content (BAC) at the time of your arrest.

Fines
Felony DUI convictions can lead to substantial fines. Depending on the details of your case, fines can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more.

License Suspension
If convicted of a felony DUI, your driver’s license will be suspended for a period that can extend up to five years.

Ignition Interlock Device
In some cases, you may be required to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle. This device requires you to blow into a breathalyzer before starting your car and at random intervals while driving to ensure that you are not driving under the influence.

Why Hire an Attorney for a Felony DUI Charge?

Hiring an attorney is crucial to achieving the best possible outcome in a felony DUI case. Here’s why:

Knowledge of the Law
DUI laws are complex, and an experienced attorney will have an in-depth understanding of the laws and procedures involved in your case. They can use this knowledge to build a strong defense and protect your rights.

Negotiating Power
An experienced attorney, such as Josh McIntosh (a former felony prosecutor), can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce or dismiss charges, leading to a more favorable outcome. Without proper legal representation, you may not have the negotiation power or legal knowledge required to secure the best possible outcome.

Protecting Your Rights
Your attorney will work to protect your constitutional rights, including your right to a fair trial and protection against self-incrimination. They will also ensure that any evidence used against you was obtained legally and properly.

Experience in Court
An experienced attorney can represent you in court, preparing you for what to expect during the legal process. They can present a strong defense and challenge any evidence that may not be in your favor. Most importantly, they can give you the best shot at trying your case to a judge or jury for a potential acquittal.

Conclusion: Why You Need Legal Representation

In conclusion, a felony DUI conviction in Kentucky can have serious, long-lasting consequences.
