The state of California has tough law against drunk driving. Even a first time misdemeanor DUI offense can result in a jail sentence, probation and a driver’s license suspension. If you have been charged with felony DUI, however, the criminal and civil penalties you face are significantly enhanced, including the possibility of incarceration in a state prison.
