One thing you really must know regarding a misdemeanor dwi is that in both the 1st and 2nd times you get a dui it'll be counted as a misdemeanor dui unless you injured somebody but the third time is always a felony. What most people do not know about this is why the third time is automatically a felony no matter what, the reason is very simple, a felony is anything that is in anyway dangerous and being that you've already received 2 DUI's you will be considered dangerous. As you can probably already tell, the majority of people that get one dui will receive one additional but after that the DUI's normally stop.
Something that you must understand is without the proper legal representation you'll almost always receive a felony and the reason is because that is exactly where judges begin the process from. If you would like to get your felony downgraded to a misdemeanor then you'll must understand what to say to the judge in order for that to happen, that's why a lawyer is good to get at this issue. Something that most people don't know even if they've received a felony dui before is that a drunk driving citation yet if it is downgraded to a misdemeanor is still counted as part of the three strike rule.
The final thing you need to know is that all DUI's are extremely serious no matter what state you're in and now days law enforcement officers are really cracking down on people who are discovered driving while intoxicated. Normally for adults that are discovered driving while intoxicated they are placed in jail for a night only to let them sober up and then they are released until the hearing. The reason why intoxicated drivers are released temporarily is simply until their court date which normally is really soon because judges do not like to have intoxicated drivers wondering around the streets or getting into yet more trouble before their court date. Just remember that not all drunk drivers are the same and it's almost impossible to tell who drinks and drives and who doesn't. My suggestion to you is just do everything you can to keep yourself and your family safe and hope that everybody else is doing the exact same thing.
