Can a DUI Be A Felony?

A DUI can be classified as a felony in a couple of different scenarios. For example, if driving under the influence caused an injury to another person, it is considered a felony, and you will need a criminal defense lawyer on your side. In addition, if you have been charged and convicted of three DUI offenses prior to the current charge, you are facing a potential felony charge. If you or someone you know is facing a felony DUI, call Lamano Law Office so we can get you the best results. #lawfirm #criminaldefense #allwomenlawfirm #lamanolawoffice #LLO #lawyerup #fightyourcase #misdemeanor #felony #court #DUI #DWI #bayarea #oakland #contracosta #alameda #richmond #vallejo #sanfrancisco #hayward #dublin #fremont #contracosta #martinez #richmond visit us at www.LamanoLaw.com or call us (510) 852-0750 or (925) 495-0707

What happens at a DMV hearing?

When you've been arrested for a DUI, you will have a special hearing with the DMV where they can take away your driving privilege. This is separate from what the court does. A trained and skillful defense attorney can take you into this suspension hearing and argue on the facts about the arrest, possibly getting the suspension reversed or rescinded, and even setting the stage for its complete dismissal. Do yourself the favor of getting an attorney. #lawfirm #criminaldefense #allwomenlawfirm #lamanolawoffice #LLO #lawyerup #fightyourcase #misdemeanor #felony #court #DUI #DWI #bayarea #oakland #contracosta #alameda #richmond #vallejo #sanfrancisco #hayward #dublin #fremont #contracosta #martinez #richmond visit us at www.LamanoLaw.com or call us (510) 852-0750 or (925) 495-0707
