Navigating a Felony DUI Charge in NYC
Facing a felony DUI charge can be overwhelming, but understanding the potential consequences is crucial for making informed decisions about your case. A felony DUI can lead to severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences, hefty fines, and a permanent criminal record that can impact your future employment and personal life.
Here are some key factors to consider when navigating a felony DUI charge:
- Legal Representation: Having an experienced attorney by your side can significantly affect the outcome of your case. Our team at Raiser & Kenniff specializes in DUI defense and will fight to protect your rights.
- Plea Bargaining: In some cases, it may be possible to negotiate a plea deal that reduces the severity of the charges. Our attorneys can explore all options to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
- Impact on Insurance: A felony DUI can lead to increased insurance premiums or even the inability to obtain coverage. We can help you understand these implications and how to mitigate them.
- Rehabilitation Programs: Engaging in rehabilitation programs can demonstrate to the court your commitment to change, potentially leading to more lenient sentencing.

For a third Aggravated-DWI in 10 years, you could face the penalties for a Class D felony:
- Up to 7 years in prison
- Up to $10,000 in fines

"They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this."
Steven Raiser's law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30% penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill, who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.
Very grateful and appreciative to Steven Raiser and Harry Gill. Great work- Harry -
They treated me wonderfully and helped me out of a bind. I feel that this firm really cares.- Michelle A.
