DUI

When a person is charged with driving under the influence (DUI) or driving with ability impaired (DWAI), he or she is also likely going to be subject to an action taken by the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).  Under Colorado law, an officer can ask a driver who is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol to take a blood or a breath test.  If the result indicates a blood alcohol content (BAC) over .08, the DMV will issue a notice revoking the driver’s license.  The driver has a right to a hearing but it must be requested in writing within 7 days or the driver forfeits his or her right to a hearing.  Both the DMV proceeding and the criminal charges have a variety of strict deadlines and it is vitally important for a person charged with an alcohol driving offense to seek competent legal advice as soon as possible.  Bradley Devitt has extensive experience representing people charged with alcohol driving offenses in jurisdictions throughout Colorado.
