When Is DUI a Felony?

In most circumstances, California DUIs are charged as misdemeanors. However, certain aspects of the case and your record can increase the charges to a felony. Your DUI could become a felony if:

  • You caused someone to be seriously injured
  • You caused someone to be killed
  • You have three or more DUIs within the past 10 years
  • You have a prior DUI felony charge

If any of the above criteria applies to your case, our lawyers can investigate your DUI felony charge and fight for a better outcome.

DUI Felony Penalties

In California, felony DUI convictions carry severe penalties. If you are being charged with a felony for the injury or death of another while driving under the influence, you could face:

  • Fines up to $5,000
  • A California state prison sentence between 16 months and 16 years
  • License suspension for 5 years
  • DUI school

If you did not harm or kill anyone as a result of your DUI, you can see some relief in your penalties. If your felony DUI charge is the result of prior DUI convictions, you will face:

  • Fines up to $1,000
  • A California state prison sentence of up to 3 years
  • License suspension for 4 years
  • DUI school

Whatever the cause of your felony DUI, the consequences can be severe. If you are being charged with a felony, we encourage you to take action by speaking with our firm. In serious felony DUI cases, plea bargaining is prohibited, meaning other avenues of defense must be pursued. Our attorneys can help you identify and pursue other ways of fighting your case.
