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.
