The short answer.
A felony DUI can sometimes be reduced. The path depends on the county, the evidence and why the charge became a felony. We investigate those details before recommending your next step.
Identify the felony basis
An aggravating circumstance, a qualifying prior DUI or combined allegations raise different defense questions. We start with the actual charge.
Challenge the evidence
Testing, recordings and prior court records may reveal grounds to contest the felony allegation or negotiate a lesser charge.
Explore your county’s options
Eligible Tulsa County participants may have a program path to a misdemeanor and deferred sentence. Approval and successful completion are required; other counties differ.
A new felony rule begins November 1, 2026
Starting November 1, 2026, prosecutors may combine two or more separate alleged DUI violations within one year into a felony, even while the first case is pending. This is separate from aggravated DUI. We review the offense dates to determine which law applies.

Common questions.
Get answers, then talk through the facts of your case with an attorney.
Can a first felony DUI be reduced?
Possibly. The aggravating allegation, evidence and local program eligibility matter. A first offense does not guarantee a reduction.
Does a deferred felony become a misdemeanor?
No. A deferred sentence and a charge reduction are different. We review both the final charge and the sentence terms.
