Is a DWI a Felony in Missouri? The answer depends on your personal history and the circumstances of the arrest. If you have had two previous findings of guilty for drunk driving, then any subsequent arrest for DWI will be charged as a Felony DWI in Missouri; starting with a class E felony for a 3rd DWI and escalating to a class A felony for a  7th DWI. Additionally, you face a felony DWI charge if you cause serious physical injury or death to another person.

In these cases, defendants face real consequences including heightened prison time, fines, loss of Driver’s License, and severe long-term impact on employment and civil rights. It is crucial to seek out prompt legal representation from a Missouri DWI Defense Attorney like Anthony Bretz. Contact Bretz Legal, LLC today for a free consultation.
