Felony DUI | Utah Criminal Defense Attorney
In Utah DUI charges can be in the form of misdemeanors or felonies. For a DUI to be charged as a felony a number of factors need to be in play. Probably the most common felony DUI scenario is if a person has been charged with three or more DUIs in the past 10 years. Other possible circumstances that could create a felony DUI charge are inflicting serious bodily injury in conjunction with a DUI or the person has previously been convicted of automobile homicide. For most people that are facing a felony DUI charge this is not their first run in with the court and they understand the uphill battle that faces them and the importance of having an attorney.

Those who have been charged with a felony DUI, through whichever of the circumstances described above, are facing a 0-5 year jail sentence if they are convicted. Along with that they will be dealing with fines and other possible penalties such as alcohol assessments, interlock device, and drivers license suspension. Not only are these penalties harsh but they could have lasting effects on an individual and could not only influence your ability to drive yourself from point A to point B but could keep you from progressing in or obtaining employment.
