Delta County, CO DUI and DWAI Law Firms & Lawyers

Your narrative suggests that you were convicted of DUI. Following a conviction, your only remedy is by appeal. The deadline for criminal appeals is very short, so you need to consult an attorney without delay.

If you are under 21 the consequences are significant, if you are over 21 then you can be charged with, and prosecuted for, driving under the influence but NOT driving with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or above. A case like this is winnable, you should call a DUI defense attorney within 10 days of your arrest, they should be able to tell you how to best proceed to avoid a DUI and possibly and criminal conviction.

Initially, most of the time people are not arrested for the charge of driving without a license and since your DUI arrest was just two months ago, you probably lost your license for driving while under over the legal limit, an administrative revocation. If a person is arrested for driving on a revoked driver's license due to a DUI related offense, the penalty if convicted, is a minimum 30 days in jail or 60 days house arrest and $500 fine, and loss of driving privilege for an additional one year. A speeding charge will probably result in a fine although all misdemeanor offenses carry a maximum penalty of 6 months in jail and $1,000 fine. If you had not yet entered into a 'DUI diversion' program, your recent arrest would not result in a violation or revocation of the program. However, a prosecutor could rescind the 'contract' of offer based upon your new arrest. You should immediately consult with your attorney to attempt to minimize the consequences of your most recent arrest.
