Charges for a DUI become increasingly intense after your first charge, and eventually can land you a felony. However, your first DUI will be charged as a gross misdemeanor.

When charged with any crime it is imperative that you not only take the charge seriously, but that you make it a top priority by contacting a lawyer as soon as possible.

Regardless of your innocence, you will have to attend multiple hearings and be an involved part of your defense, collaborating with your attorney throughout the duration of your case.

Felony convictions will typically stay with you forever. However, under certain circumstances for certain charges, a felony conviction can be cleared from your records through a process called vacation. If you would like to know more about vacating a felony charge, contact our office for more information.

Unfortunately, our legal system is not designed to be easy to navigate and does not favor you as a criminal defendant. Once a prosecutor files a charge, their sole focus is proving your guilt however they can and unfortunately the truth doesn't always come out. Simply put, you need a lawyer to stand up for you and ensure the truth does come out.

Factors in Winning Criminal Defense Cases

Criminal cases can turn on a number of important legal factors, but it’s important to remember that in criminal proceedings the state must prove its case “beyond a reasonable doubt”. Effectively defending yourself often depends on your ability to present contradictory evidence. As often, it means exposing alternate scenarios in which the crime may have occurred. Showing potential conflicts in the way that officers or the prosecution carried out the investigation may be just as important to winning your case as the defense itself.
