Questions
What are Colorado's DUI blood alcohol limits?
Colorado defines DUI as 0.08% BAC or higher. First-time offenses carry license suspension, fines, jail time, and community service. Penalties increase with prior convictions.
How do DUID cases differ from alcohol DUI?
DUID cases require proving drug impairment affected driving ability. Unlike alcohol DUI, there's no universal impairment threshold for most drugs, making these cases more complex to prosecute.
Can THC levels affect my DUID case?
Colorado's legal THC limit is 5 nanograms of active THC per milliliter. We analyze blood test results to distinguish impairing active THC from non-impairing metabolites in DUID cases.
What payment options do you offer?
We accept cash, checks, money orders, credit/debit cards, Venmo, and Zelle. We also offer flexible payment plans after initial retainers to accommodate financial needs.
Do you handle cases outside Denver?
We represent clients statewide, including Front Range cities and mountain communities across Adams, Arapahoe, Jefferson, and other Colorado counties.
Can you help with license reinstatement?
Yes, we assist with DMV hearings and license reinstatement processes, including negotiating restricted licenses and addressing alcohol education requirements for DUI/DUID convictions.
