I've Been Charged With Felony DUI, What Now?

DUI is a serious charge, and Felony DUI is the most serious of DUI charges. Felony DUI charges in the State of Florida occur in either the case of repeat offenders, or any DUI that involves injury or death. A charge of felony DUI should never be faced without representation by a skilled and qualified drunk driving defense lawyer.

If someone was killed during a drunk driving accident, and it can be proven that you were intoxicated and caused the death, you can be facing some very long jail time. If this has happened to you, you are likely distraught and very afraid. A good DUI attorney still may be able to help. Even if you were arrested for DUI, and an accident was involved and people were hurt or worse, the same rules to mounting a DUI defense apply, and you are still entitled to the best defense possible.

If you are convicted of Felony DUI you face:

  • Stiff fines and jail time
  • Revocation of your drivers license
  • Requirement of an ignition interlock device to drive at all

A drunk driving defense attorney will devote him or herslef to reducing the charges or sentence against you in a felony DUI case. Regardless of the circumstances of your arrest, or your driving record, a qualified Florida DUI lawyer may still be able to get the court to reduce the charges against you, or be able to work out a lighter sentence. DUI defense attorneys know how to work within the system on your behalf and can explore alternatives to jail, even in felony cases. In the most serious of DUI cases involving deaths, injuries, hit and run, or repeat felony DUI, a DUI attorney is your only hope in avoiding serious punishment. In such cases only an expert DUI lawyer has the resources to challenge the accusations against you.
