When DWI is Charged as a Felony

Driving under the influence is a serious offense and in some cases, the charges will be filed as a felony. Felony charges carry with them a number of extreme penalties, and our aim to help you avoid them.

A DWI can become a felony if any of the following circumstances are relevant in the case:

• The DWI resulted in an accident
• The accident caused serious bodily harm
• The accident caused serious property damages
• The accused has prior DWI convictions

Though many will feel that their previous convictions in DWI cases assures that they will be found guilty, this is not the case. According to our constitution, you cannot be charged with the same exact crime twice, meaning that your previous convictions will have no relevant forbearing in this specific case.

Understanding Potential Penalties

If you have been convicted of three prior DWI offense, you will automatically be facing felony charges. If your felony charge has to do with the other circumstances described above, they could be more severe.

Field sobriety tests and breathalyzer tests may are frequently incorrectly administered, with results that can be successfully challenged at trial. The attorney at the firm must review the facts in your case immediately in order to discover the holes in the case to exploit for your defense.
