Colorado Attorney Defending Against Repeat Drunk Driving Charges
Colorado imposes enhanced penalties on those convicted of second or third DUI (driving under the influence). You could be facing a minimum of 10 to 60 days in jail and up to a year or more, court costs and significant fines. Collateral punishments can include the almost certain suspension of your license, an increase in insurance rates, revocation of your commercial driver's license, many hours of community service, a criminal record and other penalties.
If your second or third DUI resulted in the serious injury or death of another, you could be facing additional charges and penalties. Similarly, if you were arrested for DUI while driving with a minor in the car or had a blood alcohol content of .2 percent or higher, additional penalties apply. The stakes are high, making it particularly important to retain an experienced DUI defnese attorney.
