Is it possible to get a reduced charge for a DWI if I was not caught driving?

Answered by attorney Cristian Michael Towers
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Cristian M. Towers
It sounds like you may have aided the State in proving its case by #1 admitted to having ingested alcohol AND #2 having done so BEFORE driving. I can't say that there aren't any other defenses, but your own admissions have potentially critically affected two big ones. There certainly could be an argument that the interrogation performed upon you went outside the permissible scope of a well-being check. If so, the officer should have read you your rights once you became the target of the investigation. IF that is the case, the statements made by you would be inadmissable as improperly obtained. Nevertheless, you need capable counsel to represent you as soon as possible.

If my boyfriend was arrested for a DUI and does not have papers (illegal) does that mean he will be deported?

It's possible, if he's reported. I don't believe that a DUI is not a reportable offense, but you need to consult with both a DUI lawyer and an immigration lawyer. If you can find a lawyer that does both, that would be great.

Did the cop have the right to stop me for a low tire then arrest me for DUI?

Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
DUI/DWI lawyer at 5280 Law Group
An officer must have a reasonable suspicion to believe that you had committed a Colorado vehicle code violation. The excuse of a "low tire" is very suspicious. You may be able to suppress or disallow the test result or have other viable defenses to the charges. You should consult with a DUI attorney in your area as soon as you can. There are two separate actions for DUI's; one in the criminal courts and one in the DMV. You must request a hearing with the DMV within 7 days of the arrest otherwise; you could forego the ability to have a hearing.
