# How long is the license suspension for a felony DUI in Rhode Island?

A felony DUI brings a long license suspension, well beyond what a first offense carries, followed by a required ignition interlock period once driving privileges are restored. A chemical test refusal can add a separate administrative suspension on top. A lawyer defends both the criminal charge and the license consequences, because losing the ability to drive affects work and daily life.
