Why You Need to Hire an Experienced DUI Defense Attorney

Operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs carries severe and lifelong consequences in Colorado. If convicted of a DUI, you could face mandatory jail time, steep fines, intensive probation, and the suspension of your driver license. Many individuals mistakenly believe that their only option is to plead guilty and accept whatever punishment the state hands down. However, when you choose to find a DUI lawyer who understands the meticulous details of chemical tests, breathalyzers, and police stop procedures, you often uncover viable defense opportunities. We work closely with professional investigators to scrutinize every aspect of your arrest, challenging the legality of the initial traffic stop and the accuracy of any sobriety testing.

The Crucial Seven Day DMV Hearing Rule

One of the most critical aspects of any Colorado drunk driving arrest is the civil administrative process. If you refuse a chemical test or register a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher, the Colorado division of motor vehicles will move to suspend your driving privileges. You have exactly seven days from the date of your arrest to formally request an administrative DMV hearing to contest this suspension. If you fail to act within this narrow window, your license will be automatically suspended. When you hire an attorney from our firm, we immediately step in to schedule this hearing, prepare the necessary evidence, and represent you in front of the hearing officer to fight for your ability to remain on the road.
