HELPING YOU MAINTAIN YOUR PRIVILEGE TO DRIVE
When you are facing a DUI charge, you must act quickly and immediately request a DMV hearing. This will ensure you have the ability to contest any revocation of your driving privileges. Next, talk to a lawyer about your options and consider hiring a DUI defense attorney to help you fight any potential revocation or to minimize any consequences. Just because you are arrested for a DUI, or refuse to comply with a blood or breath test, doesn't mean you need to lose your driving license completely. Revocations can be contested and alternatives to complete revocation are available. Colorado's "express consent" law, which deals with blood and breath test revocations, provides you certain rights and law enforcement certain obligations that must be upheld for a revocation to be enforced, and it is imperative that you have someone on your side to find and fight these issues.
DUI IN COLORADO IS MORE THAN JUST DRUNK DRIVING
In Colorado, "Driving Under the Influence" or "DUI" covers a wide range of behavior and laws that you need to know about. Offenses can vary from "Driving While Ability Impaired" for lower levels of alcohol and drug impairment, "Driving Under the Influence" for substantial alcohol or drug impairment, "Driving With Excessive Alcohol Content/DUI Per Se" for driving with a BAC over .08 (as determined within two hours of driving), "Underage Drinking and Driving" for those driver's under twenty one years of age with a BAC between .02 and .05, "Vehicular Assault and Homicide" for DUI that causes injury or death, and "Felony DUI/DWAI" for committing a DUI or DWAI while having three or more prior offenses." Each type of DUI case has its own unique considerations and avenues for defense and a practiced eye is needed to know how to tackle each one.

Not all DUI cases can be successfully challenged or "beat" in court. But some can, and it takes an experienced DUI lawyer to know when and how this can be done.
