About Felony DUI

Any DUI offense is a serious crime whether a misdemeanor or felony. For drunk driving to be considered a felony, certain factors in the case must be present.

A drunk driving charge will be considered a felony when:

• A DUI caused injury or fatality to others
• The offender has three or more prior DUI convictions within the past 10 years (multiple DUI)
• There exists one prior felony DUI conviction

Penalties for Felony DUI

Punishment for a DUI felony can carry a sentence of 2-5 years in state prison and an additional 3-6 years if the DUI caused injuries. Other sentencing can include large fines, court-ordered DUI education and rehabilitation programs, a revocation of driving privileges for 5 years, and assignment of the Habitual Traffic Offender Status for 3 years.

Prosecutors must produce evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that a felony DUI crime was committed. Defense attorneys have the right to challenge evidence and can attack arrest procedures and blood alcohol level test results. The Law Offices of Paul S. Geller looks closely at the details of these cases and ensures that, both in and outside the courtroom, these allegations against our clients receive the rigorous scrutiny they deserve.
