Why Your DUI Is a Felony
When a police officer makes a DUI stop, they check for many different aspects of the situation, including whether or not they believe a person is more dangerous than a regular DUI.
Your charges can be enhanced if a police officer alleges:
There were passengers under the age of 18
You were speeding more than 15 mph over the posted limit
You had prior DUI convictons
You drove with a suspended or revoked license
Your driving caused an accident or resulted in someone’s death
These charges can be contested, but you need to get started soon. It takes time to contact law enforcement and obtain official transcripts and documents of your arrest. Law Office of Joseph A. Fanduzz has handled thousands of criminal charges, and we understand how to obtain successful case outcomes.
“Mr. Fanduzz is committed to nothing but the BEST outcome for his clients.”
Nearly two years ago, I was charged with DUI and Speeding. Due to my occupation, a conviction could be detrimental to my career. I contacted Mr. Fanduzz and he was able to have my case placed on Judicial Diversion, which required me to serve only one year supervised probation (reduced from two years) and court cost. I retained my drivers license and did not have to purchase expensive car insurance.
Unfortunately, while on probation, I was charged with two counts of assault and aggravated assault. Along with these new charges, I also faced violation of my probation and the original DUI. All charges were considered Felonies at this point. There was no hesitation in hiring him to represent me again. Mr. Fanduzz not only kept me well informed, he also skillfully and agressively argued on my behalf. He arranged for my probation and judicial diversion to be reinstated and the felony assault charges to be dismissed in exchange for a plea to a misdemeanor offence.
Needless to say, I highly recommend Mr. Fanduzz because of his attention to detail and commitment to have the BEST possible outcome for his clients.
