The Experience To Fight And Win In Felony DWI/DUI Cases

What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony DWI/DUI? For one thing, the penalties are much more severe. Losing your driver’s license is the least of your concerns. You could go to state prison for up to four years if you are convicted.

Of course, there are other consequences as well. If you go to prison, you will likely lose your job. You’ll be labeled a convicted felon and you’ll have to carry that with you for the rest of your life. Your right to vote or carry a firearm may even be taken away.
