A Third DUI Conviction Could Mean Prison
Aggressive Felony DUI Defense in Las Vegas and Southern Nevada
A third offense for drunk driving within seven years can be charged as a felony DUI in Nevada. If you are convicted, you could face a prison sentence. A drunk-driving accident resulting in serious bodily harm or death can also be charged as a felony DUI.
However it happened, you are now facing a third offense and your situation is extremely serious. It's vital to work with a defense attorney who knows how to defend people facing felony DUI charges.
At the Las Vegas law office of Ciciliano & Associates, LLC, we aggressively attack the prosecution's case to fight the charges. Defense attorney Luke Ciciliano will examine every aspect of your case as he prepares to negotiate with the prosecutor or take your case to trial:
- The probable cause for the traffic stop
- Field sobriety tests and other police observations
- Evidence from the breath test or blood-alcohol test
- Violations of your constitutional rights

Felony DUI/DWI (Third Offense)
There is more than one way to improve the outcome in a felony DUI case, and your lawyer will examine all possible options, including grounds for dismissal or reduced charges.
- Maybe you didn't try to fight that first DUI charge because you didn't realize how important it would be. We can look into overturning a prior conviction so you aren't facing a third DUI conviction — only a second.
- The prosecutor may have discretion about whether to reduce your third DUI charges to a misdemeanor DUI rather than a felony DUI. We look for options for a plea agreement.
- Sometimes, probation is available rather than prison time. We look for ways to reduce our clients' sentences or to keep them in the community and out of prison.
There are options and defenses to a felony drunk-driving charge. We will pursue every course of action to protect your freedom.
