Felony DWI
There are a range of specific DWI charges that may be applied to an individual who is found to be operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. First and second DWI offenses are considered misdemeanors, with multiple DWI offenses charges as felonies. Further,
DWI with injury or
vehicular manslaughter are also considered to be felonies and can impose prison terms up to 20 years in the most serious cases.
DWI felonies are clearly considered to be much more serious than misdemeanor crimes, which is why felony DWI penalties are decidedly more severe. This does not mean that it is impossible to find success in the defense of felony DWI charges, however. There are plenty of viable opportunities for a solid argument against your DWI felony charges, although it may take the resources and skill of a lawyer who has a record of success in DWI cases.
