Bellingham Felony DUI Attorney

An individual facing a DUI can see these charges elevated depending on the circumstances of the case. The consequences of driving under the influence can be especially serious if the person is convicted of felony-grade DUI. Felonies increase the punishments associated with a conviction by raising many of the sentencing minimums. Additionally, a person found guilty of a felony DUI may lose several additional privileges that may otherwise be retained with a misdemeanor conviction.

If you are facing felony DUI charges, the punishments associated with a conviction can have a potentially permanent impact on your life. To discuss your defense options with an experienced legal advisor, contact the tenacious Bellingham felony DUI attorneys of Cowan Kirk at 866-822-1230 today.

Penalties for Felony DUI

Felony DUI is charged under the same standards as misdemeanor DUI. However, this increase in penalties may occur because of additional violations. For instance, a person can face a felony DUI if he or she has repeat violations for drunk driving. Additionally, a person may be charged with felony DUI if they caused injury to someone due to a drunk driving incident.

If convicted of felony DUI, a person may face the following punishments:

  • Mandatory jail sentencing
  • Substantial fines
  • Loss of travel privileges
  • Loss of political rights
  • Loss of driver's license

These penalties can adversely affect a person's professional and personal aspirations in major ways. As an example, after a felony DUI conviction, a person may have difficulty finding a job or may not be able to get into their preferred university.
