Felony DUI Overview

Many people do not realize that driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) is a criminal offense. Multiple DUI offenders risk conviction for felony DUI, which carries severe penalties. If you or someone you know is facing felony DUI charges, do not proceed without first consulting an experienced criminal defense lawyer.

At the law offices of Michael S. Perry, P.A., we aggressively represent people throughout Sarasota, Bradenton and southwest Florida needing DUI defense. The law is hard on those with multiple DUI convictions, but our lawyers are just as tough. We do what it takes to achieve the best possible outcome for clients facing felony DUI charges.

The courts use felony DUI charges to punish those who have been previously convicted of drunk driving or in cases where drunk driving caused an accident resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. In either case, conviction could mean a prison sentence anywhere from five to 30 years depending on the situation, driver's license suspension for up to 10 years and heavy fines.

Our primary goal is to minimize your charges and work toward the best possible deal for your situation. We thoroughly investigate all the evidence in your case, including:

  • Police reports, including field sobriety test and Intoxilyzer results
  • Radio transmissions
  • Surveillance videos, if available
  • Witness statements
  • Any other information you might possess

Often our attorneys have successfully negotiated reduced charges or dismissal of the case due to police wrongdoing or negligence. We can also request a bond hearing to keep you out of jail while your case is reviewed.

If you or someone you know is facing felony DUI charges, contact our office today by calling 941-328-8107 or toll free at 888-597-4551 to schedule your free initial consultation.
