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.

Navigating the legal landscape following a DUI charge can be overwhelming, especially if it's your first encounter with the law. At Keegan, Tindal & Jaeger, we believe that knowledge is power. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to guiding you through every step of the DUI process, ensuring you understand your rights and options.

Here’s what you can expect when facing a DUI charge in Iowa:

• Court Proceedings: Get insights into what happens in court, including plea options, potential penalties, and how to prepare effectively.
• Sentencing Options: Explore the various sentencing options available, including alternative programs that may be beneficial for first-time offenders.

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.
