Felony charges require a serious and aggressive defense.  It is not unusual for police and prosecutors to use high pressure tactics to obtain a confession or negotiate a plea.  A conviction will subject you to penalties according to the Kansas Sentencing Guidelines and a permanent restriction on owning or carrying firearms. 

    Driving Under the Influence can also be a serious charge.  The first time you are charged, it is a Class B misdemeanor that carries up to 6 months in jail and a fine of $1500.

1. •  A second DUI is a Class A misdemeanor with up to 1 year in jail and a $2500 fine. 
   

2. •If you are stopped for a DUI, refusing the breath test is a separate criminal charge and results in an automatic one-year suspension of your driver’s license. 
   

3. •  Refusal does not mean you won’t be charged or convicted for DUI.   
   

4. •  Your third or more DUI charge will be a felony criminal charge and subject to higher penalties. 
   

5. •  You face up to a year in prison and fines up to $100,000. 
   

6. •  You could also be ordered to attend in-patient alcohol treatment if the court thinks you need it.
