Charged With DUI in Oklahoma?
We know bad things happen to good people. A DUI arrest does not make you a bad person, but it can bring serious consequences for your freedom, license, and future. Oklahoma's DUI laws are strict, and a single mistake can quickly become a life-altering situation.
Many DUI cases can be challenged, reduced, or even dismissed with the right legal strategy. We're here to help you understand your options, protect your rights, and minimize the impact a DUI can have on your life.
What Is a DUI in Oklahoma?
A standard DUI (Driving Under the Influence) charge applies when your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) registers at .08 or above - though Oklahoma law includes several different alcohol-related charges, depending on specific circumstances.
Penalties increase in severity based on the nature of the charge and the degree to which you were intoxicated. A DUI arrest does not mean an automatic conviction, license revocation, or punishment. We will analyze every detail of your DUI case to minimize the impact it will have on you and your life.

Aggravated DUI Under the 2025 Law
Previously, an aggravated DUI meant your Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) registered at .15 or above. Under the new law, a DUI is considered aggravated if it involves any of the following:
- An accident
- A minor in the vehicle
- Eluding the police
- Driving 20+ MPH over the speed limit
- Driving 10+ MPH over in a school zone
- Reckless driving
Under the new law, all aggravated DUIs are felonies, even for a first offense, and carry mandatory jail time – a minimum 10 days for a first offense, a minimum 30 days for a second offense, and an additional 30 days for each subsequent offense (e.g., 60 days for a third offense, 90 days for a fourth offense, etc.).

Will My Driver's License Be Revoked?
Yes, your license will be revoked - unless you take action quickly.
You need to contact our office within 30 days of the date of your arrest to make sure your license isn't automatically revoked by DPS. If your physical license was taken, the officer's affidavit may act as a 30-day temporary license. See our page on Driver's Licenses for more information.
We request your DPS hearing, challenge the revocation, and fight to keep your driving privileges intact.
