Hayward Felony DUI Attorney

Fighting Felony DUI in California

Your first, second and third driving under the influence (DUI) convictions led to penalties that likely affected your work and personal life. However, unless prosecutors claimed that you seriously hurt someone while driving drunk, those DUIs are probably misdemeanors on your record. If you are accused of DUI/DWI for the fourth time, you face a potential felony on your record, with a minimum 16 months in state prison.

The Game Prosecutors Play

District attorneys can choose to make a DUI a felony (and call you a "habitual offender") if you have three prior DUIs on your record or your DUI caused injury.

Overzealous prosecutors will charge a DUI case before they examine the evidence. They want to give the police officers what they ask for: another repeat offender and felony DUI to put in their statistics book. This is the game that they play, and we know how to play it.

Our Felony DUI Defense

First, we never plead anyone to what the prosecutors charged them with. We act fast to build you case, gathering evidence about:

• Your breathalyzer test. Were you above a .08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC)? Was the breathalyzer working properly? Was your sample swabbed with the proper solution? Was it a rising count? In other words, did the officer take the breathalyzer test during the traffic stop or at the station?
• The police officer's actions during your stop and arrest. Did the police violate your rights? Did they have good reason to stop you or were they acting on a "hunch?" Did they gather information legally or were you the victim of an illegal search and seizure ? Were you in the car when you they arrested you? Were you driving or asleep?
• Any injury involved. How bad were the injuries? Were they overstated? Did they really warrant a felony classification or should it be reduced to a misdemeanor with injury? If you were involved in an accident, we get investigators on the scene quickly and obtain facts about all injuries involved.

Then, we fight. Our main line of defense is to get your felony DUI dropped or reduced to a misdemeanor. We will show the DA the evidence we collected to talk them out of a felony. If they don't budge, we will bring our defense to court.
