In Okaloosa County & Walton County, Florida, there are two main categories of DUI cases: Misdemeanor DUI and Felony DUI.
For Felony DUI cases, there are several categories. The first category is the misdemeanor DUI that is elevated to a felony because of the defendant’s prior record of DUIs (which include out of state priors).
These include:
- Third DUI within 10 years of the last DUI conviction
- Fourth DUI (or subsequent)
The second category of felony DUI cases are based on accidents that result in serious bodily injury or death. These include:
- DUI with Serious Bodily Injury or Great Bodily Harm

If you have been charged with a felony DUI, it is absolutely imperative that you consult with an attorney about how to challenge your prior convictions. It could mean saving you from a lengthy jail or prison sentence.
