A Drunk Driving Arrest Doesn’t Have to Become a DUI Conviction.

Not necessarily. You may be able to challenge the license action or keep driving with an ignition interlock through IDAP, Oklahoma’s supervised driving program. Eligibility and approval matter. Your license case is separate from your criminal case. You generally have 30 days after Service Oklahoma mails your revocation notice to file an appeal. We can review your paperwork and explain the steps to protect your ability to drive.

A DUI can be aggravated by facts such as a blood alcohol level of 0.15% or higher, a passenger under 18, causing a crash that must be reported, or certain traffic violations. Under current Oklahoma law, these can make even a first DUI a felony. We review the evidence and the law in effect when the incident happened to see whether the charge is supported.

Being charged with a felony does not make you a convicted felon. Starting November 1, 2026, prosecutors may combine two or more separate alleged DUI violations within one year into one felony charge, even while the first case is pending. This is separate from aggravated DUI, and the state must still prove its case. We review each incident’s date, the evidence, and your options for avoiding a felony conviction.

It may be possible. The evidence, your history, and whether the felony involves one incident or multiple DUI allegations all matter. Tulsa County’s First Offense DUI Program gives some eligible people a path to a misdemeanor after successful completion. Multiple pending DUIs can affect your options. We review the law that applies to your case and any program’s eligibility and approval requirements.

An arrest does not decide your sentence. Some DUI cases allow probation or other alternatives, but a conviction for aggravated DUI under current law carries at least 10 days in jail, even for a first DUI offense. We review the evidence, possible charge reductions, and programs you may qualify for so you understand your options before making a decision.
