What Makes Your DWI Charge A Felony DWI?
If you have been charged with DWI, and have two or more DWI convictions on your record, the courts consider that you have a serious problem with alcohol and are a danger to other drivers on the road. By increasing the charge from a Class A misdemeanor to a felony charge, the penalties are substantially greater, including mandatory jail time. The courts also retain the right to order you to alcohol or drug rehabilitation as part of the sentence.
 
Third Degree Felony DWI
A third degree felony DWI may be charged against anyone who has a record of two or more DWI convictions, or caused an accident with injuries. You may also face third degree felony DWI charges if you were arrested for DWI with a child under the age of fifteen in the car. Penalties for a third degree felony DWI may include up to a $10,000 fine, ten years in prison, and a suspended license for a significant length of time. The administrative penalty also includes a substantial surcharge fee for multiple years. Your car may also be required to have an ignition interlock device (deep lung device) or inhaler installed, which will not allow the engine to start if your breath test registers a certain BAC reading.
 
Attorney John �Jack� Carroll will fight hard for a non-prison alternative for third degree felony DWI, which includes an in-patient substance abuse rehabilitation program and extended probation upon successful completion.
 
Second Degree Felony DWI and Intoxication Manslaughter
You may face second degree felony DWI charges if you were the cause of a drunk driving accident that resulted in a death. Second degree felony DWI may result in up to twenty years in prison. At a minimum, a conviction will result in two years in prison. After a car accident that includes a death, the police are required by law to take a mandatory blood sample to determine whether charges of intoxication manslaughter or intoxication may also be brought. A conviction for intoxication manslaughter may result in a permanent revocation of your driver's license.
