Have You Been Charged With DUI?

Being charged with driving under the influence has severe consequences both with your driver’s license and with the State of Colorado. You potentially face a license revocation depending on your blood alcohol level or if you refused to take a chemical test. Hiring an attorney early on will benefit you.

DUI cases are looked at with four issues in mind

• Why the officer contacted you?
• What the officer observed when he contacted you?
• The results of field sobriety tests (if performed)
• The results of the blood/breath or urine test (if performed)

Important legal issues affecting your rights are raised at every stage of the police contact.  Hiring an attorney is important to challenge Government charges. You are presumed innocent. Whether wrongly accused or guilty as charged having an experienced and qualified attorney is essential to protect your rights and fight for your freedom.

A plea bargain may be necessary depending on the evidence the Government has against you. Often times the government has weaknesses in its case. The right attorney can argue why your case should be dismissed or why a better plea bargain should be offered.

When Do I Need An Attorney?

When facing the prospects of jail or prison, you should never be without an attorney. When you are charged with a crime, you may feel that you are presumed guilty. You may have been taken to jail, posted bond and now must follow the Government’s system for dealing with criminally accused. Fortunately, you are not presumed guilty. In fact the presumption of innocence is one of the few remaining rights afforded all accused people.

Hiring an attorney is important to challenge the Government. You are presumed innocent. Whether guilty as charged or wrongly accused, having an attorney is essential to protect your rights and fight for your freedom.

An attorney can raise the Constitutional issues evident in your case and ultimately an attorney can make the Government prove you guilty at trial. A defense attorney can protect you from the power and force of the Government. Sometimes it is necessary to hire experts to educate the prosecution and ultimately a jury. Identifying the potential Constitution and factual issues, and the possible defenses is essential to properly defend all cases.
