MIAMI FELONY DUI LAWYER

Traditionally considered a misdemeanor, Florida DUI arrests can carry significant consequences and negative impact on one's life, but the penalties can be much worse for those who are charged with felony DUI. While all forms of DUI may be serious in their own right, the felony DUI charge is levied in certain circumstances such as when an intoxicated driver causes bodily injury to another person, whether passenger, pedestrian or someone in another motor vehicle. The felony DUI charge may also be imposed if the driver has had a prior DUI offense within a certain time frame, or if the driver has ever had a felony DUI conviction.

Although the penalty for DUI in Florida is heavy in a misdemeanor, felony DUI carries much more punishing sentences. Convicted offenders will face prison terms as opposed to jail sentences as well as much more costly fines. Felonies are decidedly worse on a criminal record than misdemeanors are, and the dark cloud of a felony DUI can follow a convicted individual long after time served. Escaping an offense as serious as felony DUI is only possible through the skilled representation of a Miami criminal defense lawyer who has a complete understanding of the DUI process.
