Legal Question in DUI Law in California

Re: felony or misdemeanor

Thank you for your posting. A "DUI" can be a felony or a misdemeanor, depending upon the facts of the case. For example, a person driving under the influence that causes an accident where there is "serious bodily injury", can be charged with felony DUI. Also, someone that has three or more DUIs and gets a new DUI can be charged with DUI as a felony, even if there was no injury.

I hope this helps, but if you have further questions, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. It's my pleasure to help in any way that I can.
