Felony DUI

A felony DUI holds significantly more serious penalties than a standard misdemeanor DUI. These charges may occur due to repeat convictions or because of the circumstances surrounding a DUI arrest. A defendant facing these charges may be given a mandatory jail sentence and can also expect to pay incredibly expensive fines.

A felony DUI is an extremely serious allegation, and individuals who are facing these charges will need the assistance of an experienced DUI attorney to present a strong defense.

Being Charged with Felony DUI

A person can face felony DUI charges for a variety of reasons. These can often depend on the specific circumstances of the situation and also if there are any state-specific laws that apply to the situation. However, many felony DUI convictions are because of the following:

  • Drunk driving accidents that result in injuries or death
  • Breaking certain other laws while driving under the influence
  • Multiple DUI convictions within in a certain amount of time

The penalties associated with felony DUI are substantially more aggressive than misdemeanor DUI. In addition, a felony conviction can have a significant impact on a person’s basic rights and professional opportunities. Compared to a misdemeanor offense on a criminal record, a felony-grade conviction can have more devastating and long-term effects.
