Rancho Cucamonga Felony DUI Attorney

Felony DUI Attorney Serving Rancho Cucamonga & San Bernardino

Are you being held responsible for the bodily harm of an individual while you were driving drunk? If so, then you can expect felony charges to be pressed against you.

DUI Felony DUI charges can be pressed for a number of reasons including, but not limited to:

- For some states it is 0.15% whereas for others it's 0.20%
If the driver injured someone (see DUI with injury)
If the driver endangered a child
If the driver destroyed property
If the driver has prior DUI charges on their record (see multiple DUI), or if a person was killed as a result of an accident involving drunk driving.

Many states change a DUI charge from a misdemeanor to a felony charge if the driver had a DUI offense on his record within a certain amount of time, which is usually seven years, depending on the jurisdiction. Furthermore, if a driver was charged with a felony DUI in the past and faces another such charge – no matter how many years have gone by – the charge will be listed as another felony upon conviction.

Under enhanced sentencing, all states have DUI laws that provide for greater punishment. While not all 'enhancement' results in felony charges, all enhancements increase penalties. Other causes for enhancement (besides those listed above) include: refusal to take the breath test, no valid driver's license, being on probation from another crime, having a container of alcohol in your car, and having an Ignition Interlock Device on the vehicle.
