What Is a Felony DUI?

Driving under the influence (DUI) is a serious criminal offense in California. Most DUIs are charged as misdemeanors, but a DUI can become a felony if certain factors are present.

In California, a DUI is considered a felony if:

• You have three or more prior DUI convictions within the past 10 years
• You have a prior felony DUI conviction
• You caused bodily injury or death

It is also possible to be charged with felony DUI if you have a prior out-of-state DUI conviction and the offense would have been a felony had it been committed in California.

What Are the Penalties for Felony DUI in California?

A conviction for felony DUI can result in severe penalties, including a lengthy prison sentence, substantial fines, and more.

If you are convicted of felony DUI, you may face the following penalties:

• 16 months, 2 years, or 3 years in state prison
• Up to $1,000 in fines
• Between 18 and 30 months of DUI school
• Up to 5 years of probation
• 4-year driver’s license revocation

If you caused bodily injury, you could face an additional 3 to 6 years in prison. If you caused serious bodily injury, you could face an additional 5 years in prison. If you caused someone’s death, you could face up to 10 years in prison.
