A DUI arrest can be frightening, disorienting, and time-sensitive. What happens in the hours and days that follow can affect both your criminal case and your ability to drive.
A DUI arrest is not the end of the fact-finding process. It is the beginning of a case that may turn on video, reports, testing records, timing, witness accounts, and the legal basis for the stop and arrest.
A first-time DUI arrest can feel immediate and overwhelming. In Colorado, it can also trigger two different tracks at the same time: a criminal case in court and an administrative driver’s-license matter through the Colorado Department of Revenue.
