Fort Lauderdale Felony DUI Attorneys
Broward County DUI Defense Lawyers
Repeat offenders and those involved in DUI auto accidents may face felony DUI charges. According to Florida statutes, a person convicted of a third DUI offense within 10 years or a fourth or subsequent DUI at any time will face penalties for a Third Degree Felony. The same applies to a driver who, while driving under the influence, causes an accident and serious bodily injury to another. DUI manslaughter is also a felony DUI offense, but is a Second Degree Felony.
