Understanding DUI and Alcohol-Related Offenses in Colorado

In Colorado, a DUI or alcohol offense occurs when someone drives while impaired by alcohol or drugs. This includes having a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or higher, driving under the influence of drugs, or refusing a chemical test when requested by police. Underage drivers can also face DUI charges if they have any detectable alcohol in their system. These charges can lead to fines, license suspension, or even jail time. Knowing what counts as a DUI can help you understand your situation. Brent Martin provides experienced legal support to protect your rights and guide you through the process.

Understanding the DUI Criminal Court Process

After a DUI charge, your case moves through the criminal court system. It begins with an arraignment where the charges are read and you enter a plea. Pretrial hearings may follow to discuss evidence, request dismissals, or negotiate agreements. Some cases go to trial, and others are resolved with a plea deal. Depending on the situation, penalties can include fines, jail time, or license suspension. Brent Martin meets with clients personally, explains what is happening at each stage, and builds a strong defense. His goal is to protect your rights and guide you through the process with experience and care.

DUI & DWAI Consequences in Colorado

A DUI or DWAI charge in Colorado can lead to serious consequences. You may face fines, jail time, probation, and suspension or revocation of your driver’s license. Repeat offenses, high blood alcohol levels, or cases involving injuries can result in harsher penalties. Even DWAI charges, which are considered less severe than DUIs, can impact your driving record and future opportunities. Brent Martin works closely with clients to explain the possible outcomes and provide strong legal defense.

Colorado Express Consent Hearings

After a DUI arrest in Colorado, one of the most urgent steps is requesting an Express Consent Hearing through the DMV. This hearing is separate from your criminal case and determines whether you keep your driving privileges. You only have seven days from your arrest to make this request, so acting quickly is critical.

You can request the hearing online through Colorado’s DMV system or in person at a DMV office. Online, the process is straightforward: go to Driver/ID Services, select “Request a Hearing,” enter your information, and submit. You’ll receive an automatic confirmation immediately, and within 24 to 48 hours, a temporary driving permit will be issued if your license is valid. The DMV will then mail or email your official hearing date, typically scheduled within 60 days.

Requesting the Officer’s Presence

One of the most important decisions you can make at this stage is requesting that the arresting officer attend the hearing. We highly recommend doing this. By law, the officer who signed your express consent affidavit must appear if requested. Their presence allows your attorney to question them under oath about the stop, the arrest, and the testing procedures, which is a critical opportunity to challenge the evidence. If the officer fails to appear after being requested, your license cannot be revoked at that hearing.

Officers can also be subpoenaed if necessary, and the Martin Law Firm can guide you through this process to ensure all steps are properly followed. Failing to request a hearing or failing to request the officer’s presence can put you at a serious disadvantage. Our team knows the stakes and helps clients use every available tool to protect their driving privileges.
