Understanding DUI Charges In Colorado
In Colorado, if you are pulled over and found to have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or above, you will be charged with a DUI. You could also be charged with driving while ability impaired (DWAI) if you are found to be driving with a BAC of .05.
If you are convicted for your DUI, you are facing an array of consequences, and how harshly you are punished will depend on such factors as your number of previous DUIs and whether your intoxicated driving caused injury, death, or property damage. Potential penalties include:
- Up to two years in prison
- Up to $1,500 in fines
- 120 hours or more of community service
- Two years of probation
- Installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicle
- License suspension
- And more!
Having a DUI on your record could bar you from privileges you previously took for granted–this spot on your record will appear whenever your background is run for jobs, housing, and education, and it’s not uncommon to be barred from certain institutions because of your unclean record.
Keep in mind, also, if your driving has caused death or injury, you will be facing elevated charges.
We Are The Loveland DUI Lawyers Who Can Support You
There are many types of DUI charges that our Loveland DUI lawyers can help you navigate, including:
- Underage DUIs
- Military DUIs
- Commercial DUIs
- DUIs resulting in injury and death
- We also represent DUI expungement!
When we work with you, we will listen to your side of the story and examine the available evidence in order to develop a strategy that has a realistic chance of having your charge reduced or dismissed. We might take several points of defense, and ones that might apply to you could potentially include:
- Body and dash cam evidence demonstrates that you were not driving recklessly and therefore should not have been pulled over in the first place
- If you were subjected to a field sobriety test, we might point out the fact that you performed well on it OR that it was conducted improperly OR that scientific evidence does not support the validity of FSTs
- If you took a breathalyzer test, we might try to prove that it showed a false positive or that the device was calibrated incorrectly
- If you took a blood test, we might argue that it was stored improperly
- We might make the case that you were not read your Miranda rights
- We might point out that police testimony is inconsistent with their report
Each case is unique, so it’s not possible to determine the best argument for your charges without knowing the details. That’s why we offer a free case assessment to get to know you and your needs!
