When OWI/DUI Becomes a Felony

In Iowa, a person charged with his or her third OWI/DUI offense within 12 years faces felony OWI/DUI charges. Having skilled defense is crucial to protecting your short- and long-term interests.

Felony offenses often have mandatory consequences such as:

  • Prison time
  • License revocation
  • Higher insurance premiums
  • Limitations on gun ownership as a convicted felon

Our experienced OWI/DUI defense team knows how high the stakes are for you. Attorney J. Dean Keegan has extensive experience challenging the issues of OWI/DUI offenses in court. Our firm reviews police reports, breath test results, squad car or booking video surveillance, and other evidence to develop strategic OWI/DUI defenses unique to your situation.

Other Felony Charges Involving Drunk Driving

Causing an accident or other aggravating factors could also lead to a felony charge. We have defended many clients who were charged with vehicular homicide and OWI/DUI at the same time. Prosecutors treat vehicular homicide cases seriously, so even if you have never been convicted of a drunk driving offense before, you could still face 25 years in prison.

Our attorneys have a reputation for providing superior defense in complex cases such as vehicular homicide or multiple OWI/DUI charges. Our successful track record of results speaks to the skill and diligence we employ in each and every case.
