A Felony DUI Conviction Could Mean Prison Time
Under California law, a driver can be charged with a Felony DUI if it is the fourth offense within a ten year period, or if a DUI accident resulted in an injury or death. Penalties for a felony DUI include a year or more in a California state prison and a loss of driving privileges for up to three years. If you, or a member of your family, is facing felony DUI, get experienced legal defense right away.

Is Your Case Defensible?
Make no mistake, a felony DUI is serious criminal charge, but our firm's philosophy is that there is a viable defense strategy for every DUI charge. That's why our lawyers focus on preparing all cases for trial.
You should know that a trial for a felony charge has its risks. If your circumstances warrant seeking a plea agreement for an alternative sentence, we will work closely with the district attorney to attempt to get you into a sobriety program or some other sort of diversion program. Because California is a three-strikes DUI state, a felony conviction carries significant weight. We do everything possible to get you into the sobriety program you need if you show that you are sincere about getting sober.
"Felony DUI defense requires extensive courtroom experience. We are not a DUI mill. We thoroughly investigate the evidence and aggressively prepare your case to win in court. When the prosecutor sees we are serious about winning, he or she is often willing to find a settlement that works for everyone." — Attorney Bob Wilson
