Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will my license be suspended after a DUI arrest?
In Colorado, your license isn’t automatically suspended at arrest. However, you have only 7 days to request a DMV hearing to contest the suspension. Without this request, suspension typically begins 30 days after arrest. Our team immediately handles this critical DMV hearing request when you retain us, protecting your driving privileges while we fight your case.
Will my DUI show up in background checks by employers?
A DUI conviction typically appears in standard background checks, which is why we fight aggressively for charge reductions whenever possible. Options like deferred sentences, reduced charges, and in some cases, eventual record sealing can help minimize the long-term visibility of the incident. We develop strategies specifically designed to protect your professional reputation.
What penalties am I facing for a first-time DUI in Colorado?
First-time DUI penalties can include 5 days to 1 year in jail, fines from $600 to $1,000, up to 96 hours of community service, alcohol education classes, and license suspension. However, these are maximum penalties – our defense strategies frequently result in significantly reduced consequences, including minimal or no jail time and options to maintain limited driving privileges.
Will I need an ignition interlock device, and how much does it cost?
Ignition interlock requirements vary based on your BAC level and case outcome. Typically, first offenders with BAC over .08 may require the device for 8 months. Costs average $70-$150 for installation and $60-$90 monthly. Our attorneys often secure outcomes that minimize or eliminate interlock requirements, particularly in cases with borderline BAC levels or procedural issues.
