West Palm Beach Felony DUI Attorney
Defense for Felony DUI Charges in West Palm Beach
When a person is arrested for DUI, he/she will typically face misdemeanor criminal charges. However, in some cases, a driver may be charged with felony DUI. Felony DUI is a much more serious offense than a typical DUI, and will end in much more severe penalties upon conviction. Felony DUI charges can stem from a number of circumstances that make the situation more serious than a typical DUI, such as:
- If the driver causes an accident that resulted in serious injury or death
- The driver’s BAC was .20% or more
- The driver is charged with his/her 3rd DUI within three years
- The driver is charged with his/her 4th DUI offense, or more
