Is a dwi a felony in Louisiana?

DWI is considered a felony offense in the State of Louisiana.

If you are arrested for DWI in Louisiana it is of the utmost importance to hire an attorney immediately. As soon as you are arrested, the timeframe for taking action is extremely short. You only have 15 days from the date of your arrest to challenge the suspension of your driver's license.
