A 5th offense DUI is extremely serious. A conviction will result in a lifetime license revocation, possibly vehicle forfeiture, and a mandatory 2 years in jail, with a possibility of being incarcerated in state prison for up to 5 years. 5th offense DUI fines range from a minimum of $2,000 up $50,000.00. As with the other DWI offenses, out of state convictions count and there is a lifetime look-back period when determining prior offenses. If you are charged with a 5th offense DUI, you should contact a lawyer immediately. At this level, the stakes are extremely high and you risk not being able to drive again for the rest of your life.
