Assuming you are convicted or plead guilty you are likely to be charged with a felony. A felony carries a minimum one year jail sentence, the fines and fees will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. You should contact a DUI defense attorney, you may be able to fight your case and avoid the conviction.

A 4th DUI within 10 years in California is a felony and can result in prison sentence.

If you are convicted with a 4th DUI in California (ie. current DUI with 3 priors in 10 years), then the penalties can include substantial jail time, hefty fines, license revocation, probation, classes. etc. It is possible that a 4th DUI can be charged as a felony. If convicted of a felony DUI, then you could be sentenced to prison for 16 months, 2 or 3 years. If convicted of a misdemeanor 4th DUI, then 180 days to a year in jail. As mentioned, there are a lot of other penalties that go along with a 4th DUI conviction. If there are any enhancements to the charges (ie. refusal, high BAC, etc.) then the penalties can increase. Further, if you were labeled a habitual traffic offender prior to the 4th DUI, then there is potential additional penalties there. In short, you need a DUI Lawyer.

I need more details be a 4th DUI is significant, and will tend to effect the demeanor of the court even if the other cases are extremely old. If you are in Michigan call my office to engage us and provide details.

If you had three or more felonies in a ten year period you could be charged with a felony. There could be fines and/or jail/prison time.

A 4th time DUI can be filed as a felony with a potential jail sentence of up to 3 years. I suggest that you hire an attorney to represent you.

If it is the 4th within 10 years, it can be filed as a felony, with a minimum of 180 days in county jail. If all three priors are outside the 10 year period, then this would be a first.
