Success Comes From A Place of Strength & ExperienceFelony DUI Charges in Colorado Springs
What is a felony DUI?
A felony DUI is considered a more severe DUI offense, as it implies that while driving under the influence, the damages were more destructive and or dangerous to society. A felony DUI can imply serious injury, and in some cases death. It is also known as vehicular assault, and vehicular manslaughter in the incident that an individual is killed due to the recklessness of a driver under the influence of alcohol or other narcotics. In general, a felony DUI is considered to be more extreme than other forms of DUI, and the sentencing you may be facing increases in turn.
One can be charged with a felony DUI if the following circumstances occur:
- A person was injured or killed
- Extensive car or property damage were incurred
- The driver exceeds the blood-alcohol content (BAC) of 0.8% while driving with a minor
- It was not the driver's first DUI
- Other crimes were committed

Felony DUI Penalties
To be convicted of a felony DUI means severe consequences, which is why it becomes a necessity to seek expert legal advice. While a first DUI conviction can be a misdemeanor charge, when a DUI is being charged as a felony, all sentencing becomes extremely serious. Felony DUI punishments can include the following:
- Fines
- Probation
- Restriction or suspension of driver's license
- Getting your driver's license permanently revoked
- Mandatory drug counseling and rehabilitation
- Installation of an ignition interlock device in your car
- Forfeiture of vehicle
