Client was arrested for his 3rd DUI within 10 years but state only charged him with a 2nd because they didn’t have disposition from the 3rd case. We explained to client he could take 2nd time penalties and make sure the case remained a misdemeanor or we could take the case to trial but it’s likely by then the State will get the documents needed and upgrade this to a felony where he would be facing a minimum 30 days jail and felony conviction with 10 year suspension of his license. Client wanted to take the misdemeanor offer despite the penalties, because he could not afford to be a felon or do more jail time.
