Drag Racing

Drag Racing Attorneys in Colorado

Drag Racing was made illegal because of the dangers involved with cars racing at high speeds on public streets. It is used anytime the police think two people are racing with each other, whether they know each other or not. Even a tire squeal has ended up with both parties getting tickets for drag racing. Both police and prosecutors handle these cases with care, and they are very serious since it is a twelve point offense.

Even though it is serious and a police officer may say that someone was racing, there may not be ample evidence to sustain a conviction. A phone call to the experienced attorneys at Fuicelli & Lee, PC can help you decide whether you should hire an attorney. As former prosecutors and dedicated defense attorneys we have the experience to determine what is in your best interest and which course of action will yield the best results.

On addition to the criminal penalties, which can include jail time, the police can seize the vehicles that they believe were involved in drag racing. This can be done before charges are ever filed, or before you have a chance to mount a defense. Losing your car can be even more serious than anything else the court can do. Unfortunately the standard of proof is much lower than in a criminal case, and the police can hold the car for a long time before even having a hearing on the issue of whether there was a race.

Our attorneys have worked with the police their entire careers, as prosecutors, defense attorneys, and working with the police when one of our clients is injured in a car accident. We have the credibility and the experience to work with the police to minimize the impact of losing your car, and hopefully get it returned soon.
