When Is a DUI Classified as a Felony?
There are a number of reasons that a DUI may be classified as a felony, rather than as a misdemeanor. Some common instances include:
- A repeat DUI offense, meaning the accused motorist has at least two prior DUI convictions
- The incident caused an accident, which resulted in serious injuries
- The alleged drunk driver did not have the vehicle liability insurance
- The accused motorist was driving on a revoked or suspended license for DUI, reckless homicide or leaving the scene of a personal injury or death

We will thoroughly evaluate the traffic stop, looking for any indication that the arresting police officer performed an illegal search and seizure, violated your constitutional rights or failed to follow other procedures.
