Charged With A Felony DWI In Indiana?

Strict Penalties Could Impact The Rest Of Your Life

A misdemeanor conviction carries with it serious consequences. If you are convicted of a felony, you can expect punishments that are even worse and that might stay with you for a lifetime.

Indiana’s penal code includes harsh punishments for felony DWIs, such as:

  • 90 days to two years license revocation
  • Six months to three years in prison
  • Up to $10,000 in fines
  • Installation of an ignition interlock device

Although felony DWI charges usually occur only after you have already been convicted once for a moving violation, it is possible for your first arrest to be considered a felony. If your BAC was far above the limit or if your intoxication lead to the serious injury or death of another, you will likely be facing felony DWI charges. Additionally, if you did cause any damage, you may have to pay for any repairs and recovery bills out of your own pocket. Work with a skilled criminal defense lawyer to limit the impact the charges could have on your life.
