A felony offense means a minimum sentence of at least one year in prison.
A defendant charged with a serious offense has the right to a jury trial when the potential punishment includes incarceration for six months or more, as established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Argersinger v. Hamlin. This right is grounded in the Sixth Amendment, which ensures that individuals facing significant penalties have the opportunity for trial by their peers. If the offense is only punishable by a lesser sentence, such as a fine or imprisonment for less than six months, the right to a jury trial may not apply.
If it is your first offense you are probably facing 6-12 months license suspension depending on your state and individual circumstances surrounding your citation. If you have multiple DUIs you could lose your license entirely.
