While driving under the influence is typically classified as a misdemeanor offense, certain circumstances can escalate it to a felony DUI. These circumstances might include having multiple DUI offenses, causing an accident resulting in injury or death, or driving with a minor in the vehicle. Regardless of whether you’re facing a misdemeanor or a felony DUI charge, the seriousness of the situation cannot be overstated. Your driving privileges, personal reputation, employment prospects, and even freedom are potentially at risk.

They can explore every legal avenue, from examining the validity of the DUI stop to challenging the evidence presented against you.

Florida Felony DUI Laws and Penalties
An individual may be charged with felony DUI if any of the following are true:
- He or she was found driving with a blood alcohol concentration above .20%.
- He or she caused a fatal accident.
- He or she caused an accident that resulted in serious injury.
- He or she has multiple DUI offenses on his or her driving record.
- He or she was driving with a minor in the car.
The penalties for any felony DUI are severe. If you are convicted of the charges, you could be sentenced to imprisonment, pay large fines, serve probation or community service, have your license suspended or revoked, or have an ignition interlock device installed on your vehicle.
In addition, you could also face criminal charges, like vehicular homicide, if you caused a fatal car accident due to driving under the influence.
