There are a number of situations in which you could be charged with a felony DWI, including being charged with a second (or third) DWI within 10 years of your first DWI, or being arrested for DWI while a child under the age of 15 is in the car. According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, the consequences of multiple DWI/DUI charges may include:

​

• Up to seven years in prison

• Driver's license revoked for a minimum of one year

• Fines ranging from $1,000 to $10,000

In addition, if you are convicted you may also face probation that could last for many years. You will also have to go through life being classified as a felon, which may impact your ability to find employment.
