Re: DUI Law

No. Usually a first time offense is charged as a misdemeanor. However, there are certain circumstances under which the same act might be charged as a felony. If you do not already have an attorney, you need one. If you are located in the central to southern part of the state, I might be able to help you personally. Please feel free to contact me for a free telephone consultation.

Re: DUI Law

If you had an invalid driver's license, or never had a driver's license, or no insurance, then a first time DUI is charged as a felony. Please call for further discussion.

Re: DUI Law

No, it is a class A misdemeanor. But there are exceptions where your blood alchohol level was especially high or where you were carrying passengers under the age of 16.

Feel free to give us a call if you want to talk about your case.
