I FIGHT HARD TO WIN FOR YOU!

If you are caught driving while intoxicated, you might be charged with a DUI. A DUI charge can come in different shapes. In most states, a standard DUI charge is classified under misdemeanors. This charge can be updated to a felony DUI charge if the prosecution pushes for it. Felony DUI charge is a comparatively more serious offense and might lead to severe consequences for the defendant.

Keep in mind that charging someone with a felony DUI charge is not an easy task. Certain rules and regulations must be fulfilled in order to successfully charge someone. The first important factor taken into consideration is the blood alcohol level of the defendant. This is often measured by a breathalyzer test. When you are pulled over with suspicion of intoxication, the police officer may perform the breathalyzer test to confirm the suspicion. This record is used in court. If the blood alcohol level is any number above 0.08, you can be charged with a DUI. However, in order for it to be a felony DUI charge, blood alcohol level should be significantly higher. Often blood alcohol levels above 0.16 result in a felony charge.

If while drunk driving, someone has been injured or hurt, then the prosecution has further motive to press for a felony DUI charge. Investigations are carried out. If the defendant was not the reason why the accident took place, then the prosecution might just file for a misdemeanor charge.

Getting convicted of a felony charge is a big deal. If you have been charged with a DUI felony, you may want to hire an experienced lawyer to represent you. An attorney would go through all the facts and work in your best interest.
