Greenwood Village DUI Lawyer: DUI & DWAI Defense Close to Home
Stopped in the Denver Tech Center, on Arapahoe Road or on I-25 through Greenwood Village? A DUI arrest starts two separate cases: one over your driver’s license and one over your record. The license case has a 7-day deadline.
Our firm is based in Greenwood Village, and our lead attorney has defended drivers in Colorado courts since 1993.
One Arrest, Two Cases
Most people only learn about the second one when it is too late. We handle both from day one.
The DMV case: your license
After a breath test result of 0.08 or more, or a refusal, the officer serves a notice of revocation. You have 7 days to request an Express Consent hearing in writing. Miss that window and the revocation takes effect with no hearing at all.
The criminal case: your record
The DUI or DWAI charge itself is a state offense under C.R.S. § 42-4-1301. For arrests in Greenwood Village it is typically prosecuted in Arapahoe County Court at the Arapahoe County Justice Center in Centennial.
The 7-day clock runs from the day you receive the notice of revocation, which is usually the day of the arrest. Call as early as you can.
Impaired-Driving Charges We Defend
For drivers arrested in Greenwood Village and across Arapahoe County
DUI (0.08+)
Driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or more is DUI per se. We examine the stop, the breath or blood test procedure and the machine records behind the number.
- First-offense DUI
- Repeat DUI
- High-BAC cases
- Test refusals
DWAI (over 0.05, under 0.08)
A result above 0.05 but under 0.08 allows an inference that your ability to drive was impaired, even slightly. DWAI still means a criminal record, so it is worth defending.
- First-offense DWAI
- Reduction from DUI to DWAI
- Commercial drivers
- Under-21 drivers
Drug DUI (DUID)
Marijuana and prescription-drug cases turn on blood tests and on the officer’s observations. Both can be challenged.
- THC cases
- Prescription medication
- Drug Recognition Expert findings
- Blood-draw procedure
Felony DUI
A DUI after three or more prior alcohol- or drug-related driving convictions can be charged as a class 4 felony and is heard in Arapahoe County District Court.
- Prior-conviction review
- Vehicular assault
- Vehicular homicide
- Sentencing advocacy
