Dillon, CO DUI and DWAI Law Firms & Lawyers

The "statute of limitations" is the time the prosecutor has to file charges - so it sounds like charges were filed, you plead guilty to something and didn't do everything you were supposed to. So it is not a 'statute of limitations' problem. There are two issues in Colorado - one whether there is a warrant outstanding for your arrest for not complying with the sentence (it may have been removed due to age of the case) and (2) if Colorado has put a 'hold' on your drivers license for failing to fully resolve the DUI case.  If Colorado has put a hold on your license, the only way to have it released, so you could get a valid license in another state, would be to check with the Colorado DMV and see what they need you to do in order to release the hold. It could invovle just paying money, or it could require that you prove completion of an alcohol program, maybe have an Interlock device for two years, etc. You can contact Colorado DMV or check your CO DMV driving record online if you like, or hire a lawyer to do that and advise you of what you need to do. I'd be happy to help if you like. 

You have a "no control" defense to the charge of DUI. You have to be in actual physical control of the vehicle and intoxicated in order to be prosecuted for DUI. If you plead guilty, you will have a permanent conviction on your criminal record in Colorado, as well as have to pay thousands of dollars in court costs and fines. Contact a Colorado Criminal Defense or Colorado DUI Defense attorney as soon as possible. You may also need to request a DMV hearing in order to preserve your driving privilege.
