Felony DWI Lawyers in Plano
Defending Clients from Drunk Driving Charges Throughout Collin & Denton Counties
Felony DWIs are the most serious type of offense that can be waged against an individual who was found to be operating a motor vehicle under the influence. There are three aggravating circumstances involved in a DWI charge that could possibly result in the DWI charge being elevated to a felony charge with enhanced penalties if you are convicted. They are as follows:
- If you have received your third (or more) DWI, you will most likely be charged with a third-degree felony. This can result in up to 10 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines
- If you were driving while intoxicated with a minor child in your vehicle, you could face a felony charge.
- If you were involved in a DWI accident that resulted in death, you can face a second-degree felony charge, resulting in up to 20 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines.

The Consequences of a Felony DWI
When convicted of a third DWI offense, the punishment for this type of felony can result in up to 10 years in prison and the required payment of steep fines. Also, if you were involved in an accident that resulted in a fatality while under the influence of alcohol, you may be faced with a second-degree felony, which could lead to up to twenty years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. A felony conviction is a life-changing event. Getting employment can be difficult, as most employers will not be interested in hiring a convicted felon, so if you or a family member has been charged with a felony DWI, it is crucial that you get qualified legal counsel immediately.

"Affordable & Dependable"
Jason was very kind, very thorough and not judgemental. I was scared on the first day of court and he reassured me and got me an amazing deal that day so we wouldn't have to go back to court.- Faythe S. -
"In Good Hands"
Jason and I spoke on the phone as long as I needed to know that I was in good hands. Over the next two months, between a couple phone calls and some texts, and following Jason's advice, my case was dismissed.- Patrick L. -

His responsiveness and attention to detail made all the difference in my case, and I can only imagine how hard he would fight for clients in more critical situations.- Doug C. -
