The Difference Between Misdemeanor and Felony Cases

Like many areas of law, the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony in DUI/OWI cases usually comes down to severity:

A misdemeanor DUI or OWI is often the result of a first or second offense
A DUI or OWI charge can become a felony if it’s at least the third repeat offense
You might also be charged with a felony if your DUI or OWI included having a minor in the vehicle with you or resulted in injury or death
