Colorado DUI Penalties Lawyers

There are many penalties associated with DUI, DWAI and other alcohol related traffic offenses. You will almost certainly lose your license for some period of time, but any deal you cut in court may extend the administrative action taken by the DMV. In addition to the license penalties, everyone convicted of an alcohol related traffic offense faces mandatory jail time. The mandatory component can be avoided if certain conditions are met. We have a tried and true method we use to help clients avoid any jail or to serve it in some alternative form such as in home detention.

In order to avoid the mandatory jail component the court will require you to take alcohol education and therapy classes that can be very expensive and time consuming. Also, anyone convicted of DUI or DWAI in Colorado will have to complete community service.

In addition to these penalties, the courts require DUI offenders to complete a victim impact panel put on by MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). This is a mandatory class and contains testimonials from people who have lost loved ones in drunk driving accident.
