The Law Firm of Mark S. Hanchey and Ben Peterson has helped thousands of clients navigate successfully through the often changing and turbulent waters of Colorado’s DUI and traffic laws. A DUI conviction can be devastating for a Colorado citizen for many reasons. Even a first conviction can carry with it mandatory jail while subsequent convictions frequently involve months in jail. Those sentences may or may not allow for work release. Although characterized as a traffic misdemeanor, Driving Under the Influence and Driving While Ability Impaired by Alcohol or Drugs will show up on a person’s criminal history. Such criminal entries can cripple one’s employment and educational opportunities.
The Department of Motor Vehicles will also get involved due to a DUI allegation and it has the power to strip the Defendant’s Driver’s License from them for up to a full year for a first offense. A fairly recent change in Colorado law erased the old “red license” which allowed for a Defendant to continue limited driving to and from work or school despite having their license revoked due to a DUI investigation. Thus, one’s ability to get to and from school or simply to run those errands necessary to get by in today’s modern world can be hugely impacted by a DUI allegation not only due to the involvement from the Court but the inevitable involvement from the Department of Motor Vehicles as well.
