How much does it normally cost to defend a DUI?

Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
It very much depends on the facts of the case, whether you go to motions and or trial, whether an expert is necessary and the experience of your attorney. There are a bunch of lousy attorneys that will simply stand next to you while you plead guilty that will charge about $1500. Very few of them will actually do anything positive for you. They will be very happy to take your money. Some of the best Colorado DUI attorneys will charge $10000 or more, and be worth it. I know this is a crappy response. I wish I could be more specific. I ask for a $4000 retainer and bill at $300 per hour. If we go to trial, it will likely be closer to $8000 without an expert. Most of my cases that plead out cost between $2000 and $3000. This includes conducting the DMV hearing.

What charges would come out of a first time DUI charge if I blew a .07 and what type of penalties will go with it?

Answered by attorney Nathaniel D Shafer
DUI/DWI lawyer at Natty Shafer Law
Since you were below the legal limit, I would plead not guilty. Hire a lawyer to help you fight the charge and your chances of having no penalties at all will be good.

Can my son get his DUI dismissed since he didn't take the breath test?

Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
that sounds like a good one to fight, but unlikely that the DMV or DA will just roll over - you need a good attorney In response to your DUI Questions: I am a criminal defense attorney that focuses on DUI cases. If you would like to discuss your case, please contact me. Some important information- If you have been served with a Notice of Revocation, then you have 7 days to request a hearing. Please do that immediately by going to your local DMV office, tell them you got a DUI and you want to request a hearing. They will give you a form. DO NOT REQUEST THE OFFICER. We can do that later if we choose to, but most often it means you will lose. The receipt DMV gives you allows you to drive until the day of the hearing. Representation begins when client pays attorney an agreed upon retainer and returns a signed fee agreement.
