Felony DUI/DWI
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES
A felony DUI or DWI is one of the most serious driving-related offenses in both Texas and Arizona. You may face felony charges if you have prior convictions, were involved in an accident causing injury or death, or were driving with a minor in the vehicle. In these cases, prosecutors often seek prison time and substantial fines.
Even a first-time offense can be elevated to a felony if aggravating factors are present, such as a very high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or driving with a suspended license. A felony conviction can result in license suspension, mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device, and long-term effects on employment and insurance rates.
THE LEGAL PROCESS
When charged with a felony DUI, you’ll likely appear first at an initial hearing where the court determines conditions of release. Evidence such as blood or breath test results, field sobriety performance, and officer body camera footage will play a critical role in your defense.
An experienced defense attorney can challenge how that evidence was collected, question the accuracy of testing devices, and negotiate with prosecutors for reduced penalties or alternative sentencing options.
