If you have been arrested on DUI or DWAI charges, your liberty, your future, and your quality of life are at stake.

Drinking and driving is a very risky decision, and in Colorado we have some of the harshest penalties in the country for those charged with DUIs. Even if your BAC isn’t above the legal limit for DUI, it is still possible to get a DWAI if your BAC is above a .05. If you have multiple DUIs or DWAIs, the penalties worsen, and if you have 4 priors, you can be charged with a Class 4 felony.
When people are arrested for a DWAI they are often confused and don’t know the best way to handle the situation. Defendants can be under the impression that they didn’t have that much to drink, or that they were able to pass all of law enforcement’s tests after being pulled over.
Though DWAI and DUI charges are very common, the law surrounding them is complex and the consequences, direct and collateral, are substantial. It takes a highly skilled and qualified DUI defense attorney to successfully defend against DWAI charges. It is critical that you have an experienced DWI attorney on your side.
