A third DUI arrest in Michigan is a felony under Heidi’s Law, a Class E felony carrying one to five years in prison, mandatory minimum jail time, and a license revocation measured in years rather than months. It does not matter when your prior convictions occurred. Two DUI convictions from thirty years ago can transform today’s arrest into a felony.

That is the weight of what you are facing. It is also not the end of the story. An arrest is not a conviction, and the outcome of a third-offense Michigan DUI case depends heavily on decisions made in the days and weeks immediately following the arrest. If you are facing a Heidi’s Law Michigan DUI charge, the decisions you make right now will shape every outcome that follows.
