Felony DWI offenders can spend up to 7 years in prison. Prison time or jail time is determined using a measure of prior criminal history called a criminal history score. Other DWIs (such as a 1st offense for DWI or 2nd offense), and other crimes or probation, including misdemeanors, can affect this score, but the ways in which they register can be argued and changed. Arguments can also be made for a departure or treatment depending on the facts of your case. These arguments can have an enormous impact on the potential for jail time and the nature of the charges.

Even if it is a relatively minor incident, a fourth DWI charge in a 10-year period will result in felony DWI charges. We can help you mount an appropriate defense to these charges and help assert and defend your rights. You can visit our page devoted to DWI penalties to learn more.

If you had a drunk driving arrest after an accident or if there is an injury to another driver or passenger, even a minor injury, you can be charged with a felony. Often an accident is the result of many factors, some of which are more important than the actions of the driver. Sometimes the injuries to people involved are not as severe as the prosecution would suggest. We perform a thorough examination of medical records and accident reconstructions to find ways to assert your right to be treated fairly and win your case. Our page devoted to DUI Evidence Against You helps explain what we can do in your case.
