Can a felony DUI charge be reduced?
It may be possible to have a felony DUI charge reduced to a misdemeanor, depending on the details of the case, your criminal history, and the evidence available. A skilled criminal defense attorney can negotiate with the prosecution to seek a favorable outcome, potentially reducing the severity of charges.
What are the penalties for a felony DUI?
Penalties for a felony DUI can include significant fines, a lengthy prison sentence, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, and installation of an ignition interlock device. The exact penalties depend on factors such as the specific circumstances of your case and prior criminal record.
How long does a felony DUI stay on my record?
A felony DUI conviction typically remains on your criminal record permanently, which can affect various aspects of your life, including employment and housing opportunities. In some cases, you may be eligible to have the record expunged or sealed, depending on your state's laws and your specific circumstances.
