QUESTION
My boyfriends was arrested and charge for a 4th DUI while his license was still suspended for a 3rd DUI. What penalties does this incur?

More details to this question:
My boyfriend was recently arrested for a 4th Dui. He was driving in an unregistered, uninsured car with fictitious plates. He also was driving with a suspended license (his license is still suspended from the 3rd DUI of which he had been convicted about 2 years ago). My question is this: Will the penalties be much more severe because he was arrested for a 4th DUI while still suspended from the 3rd? And how serious are the other charges (unregistered/uninsured car and fictitious plates)? The public defender said he will only get 6 months in jail most likely...is this accurate? I do not want to be devastated if he gets much longer!

What is your boyfruend's criminal and driving record ? This is crucial because this will or will not tell the judge that the person is thumbing g his nose at the system. if he has a record of breaking the law, then the penalty will be greater. He needs to 'fix ' what is broken in his life. If he can show the judge he is addressing his problems in a realistic manner, he can greatly shorten his sentence. Please call if we can help.
