When Misdemeanor DUI Turns Into Felony DUI
Typically, the charge of DUI is a misdemeanor. However, if certain factors are present, the charge can be increased to aggravated DUI, which is a felony. These factors include:
- Having a child under the age of 15 in the car with you
- Driving with a suspended driver's license
- Having been convicted in two or more prior DUI cases within the last five years
If your charge is increased to felony drunk driving, the penalties become much more severe. You have the right to fight these charges. The attorneys of Lane & Associates are ready to defend you.
