Felony DUIThe definition of felony DUI has recently been expanded, due in large part to pressures from social groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). While vehicular manslaughter has always been considered a felony DUI, now if a driver has 3 DUI-related convictions within the last ten years it is also considered a felony DUI. Also, if the driver has been convicted of a felony DUI within the last ten years, any DUI offense can be upgraded to a felony from a misdemeanor. Finally, if a death occurs as a result of the DUI, and the prosecution can prove malice, then the driver can face felony DUI or even murder charges.

We have the experience and resources to defend against these serious charges to help prevent you from going to jail or even state prison and we can also assist in protecting your driving privilege. |
