When a Virginia DUI Becomes a Felony
Most DUI charges in Virginia are misdemeanors. A DUI can be charged as a felony when it is a third offense within 10 years, when the driver has a prior felony DUI conviction, or when an impaired-driving crash causes serious injury. A felony DUI conviction carries mandatory jail time, a long license revocation, and a permanent felony record that can affect your job, your professional license, and your civil rights, including the right to own a firearm.
Felony DUI Cases Are Heard in Circuit Court
Felony DUI charges from Haymarket, Gainesville, Bristow, Nokesville, and Manassas are prosecuted in the Prince William County Circuit Court in Manassas. Charges from Warrenton, Marshall, and The Plains go to the Fauquier County Circuit Court in Warrenton. These cases usually start with a preliminary hearing in General District Court, so the defense work starts right away.
How We Defend a Felony DUI Charge
We look at every part of the prosecution's case: whether the traffic stop was legal, how the field sobriety tests were given, whether the breath or blood test followed Virginia's required procedures, and whether the prior convictions the prosecution relies on actually qualify. Attorney Johnson is a nationally certified field sobriety test instructor, so he knows how these tests are supposed to be given.
We also handle the license side of the case and explain what a conviction would mean for your driving privileges, so you can make informed decisions at each stage.
