DMV Representation and License Reinstatement

A DUI arrest triggers two separate legal proceedings: the criminal case in court and the civil case with the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). In Colorado, your driver's license is subject to automatic revocation if you fail or refuse a chemical test, unless you request a DMV hearing within a strict deadline. The Law Office of Christopher H. Cessna represents clients vigorously in both arenas. We prepare meticulous strategies for DMV hearings, analyzing whether the officer had reasonable suspicion for the traffic stop and probable cause for the arrest. By identifying technical violations and administrative errors, we have successfully saved the driving privileges of countless clients.

Challenging Breath and Blood Test Science

Many people mistakenly believe that failing a breath or blood test means their case is unwinnable. However, chemical tests are highly susceptible to administrative, mechanical, and biological errors. Attorney Christopher H. Cessna utilizes his advanced training to scrutinize every detail of your chemical test administration. We examine the calibration logs of the testing instruments, verify if the officer observed the proper waiting period, and look for contamination in blood draws. By exposing flaws in the state's scientific evidence, we regularly secure dismissals and charge reductions for our clients.
