Felony DUI FAQs — Arabic Lawyer Answers
Will a felony DUI get me deported?
Very likely yes. A felony DUI, especially one involving injury or classified as an aggravated felony, makes non-citizens deportable with no waiver available. It is critical to have a defense attorney who works with immigration counsel to explore plea options that avoid felony conviction.
Can a felony DUI be reduced to a misdemeanor?
In some cases, yes. An experienced attorney may negotiate a plea to misdemeanor reckless driving or misdemeanor DUI, especially if there are weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence. This is often the most important strategy for non-citizens facing immigration consequences.
