My Third DUI in Denver Colorado

Being convicted for a third violation of Colorado drunk driving laws is a serious offense, carrying the threat of a lengthy jail term, suspension of your driving rights for years, thousands of dollars in fines and court costs, and often the distinct possibility of losing your job.

The Denver DUI defense lawyers at Rosenthal & Heymann believe anyone charged with a third violation for drunk driving deserves immediate access to high-quality legal representation. Our firm offers free and confidential consultations to motorists facing charges anywhere in the Denver area, including Boulder, Aurora, Englewood and Lakewood.

The starting point for a third conviction for drunk driving in Colorado is 70 days in jail, the loss of your driving rights for two years and thousands of dollars in fines. Building an effective defense will be critical in negotiating with prosecutors for a reduction in charges, or in seeking the exclusion of evidence, the dismissal of the case or a win at trial.

We believe hiring a criminal defense attorney specifically trained and experienced in fighting Colorado drunk driving charges is critical to protecting your freedom, your driving rights and your financial well-being. At Rosenthal & Heymann, our entire staff will begin moving immediately and aggressively to protect your rights:

• By conducting a thorough investigation, we believe you have a better chance of winning your case at trial.
• Aggressive defense of your driving rights through the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicle’s Administrative Hearing process will allow our attorneys to get a good first-look at the criminal case against you, which is invaluable as we prepare your courtroom defense.
• Because our attorneys are experienced in Denver DUI defense, we understand the rules and standards that must be applied to the proper administration of a breath test. We will use a comprehensive approach to challenging the admission of breath-test results, including operator and machine certification, proper calibration, standards for use of the mouthpiece, proper temperature and operation of the machine, and compliance with log-book rules and other regulations.
• We will prepare a Motion to Suppress Evidence in your case, which if successful, may result in a reduction of charges or even a dismissal of the case against you. In any event, filing a Motion to Suppress Evidence may induce the state’s attorneys to offer a reduction in charges or other resolution that is in the best interests of our client.
• Thoroughly reviewing and investigating the location of your arrest offers a number of benefits. For instance, the road surface or other environmental factors may have influenced the results of field sobriety tests. Poor visibility, missing or obstructed road signs and other factors may also have contributed to the traffic violation or stated cause for the initial traffic stop.
• Police must follow specific guidelines for the administration of field sobriety tests. A comprehensive review of your case may reveal improper testing procedures, which can allow for the exclusion of the test results as evidence against you.

A third violation of Colorado DUI laws is a serious offense – in some cases, another violation could result in felony charges and in the defendant being charged as a habitual offender.
Our Denver DUI defense attorneys take seriously our obligation to provide clients with an aggressive and comprehensive defense and to fight for the best outcome possible in each case we take the responsibility of representing.
