Denver DUI Defense Lawyer/What to do now?

A Colorado drunk driving charge is among the most serious charges a motorist can face and among the most frequent traffic-related charges filed by law enforcement. Each year, about 30,000 people are charged with drunk driving in Colorado – or more than 80 people a day.

Unfortunately, motorists facing a drunk driving charge are often unfamiliar with the judicial system and frequently make the mistake of not seeking qualified legal advice. The
Denver drunk driving defense attorneys at Rosenthal & Heymann understand that a DUI conviction can lead to jail time, heavy fines, the loss of a client’s driver’s license and even job loss.

We believe everyone is entitled to qualified legal advice when faced with a drunk driving charge; our experienced attorneys offer a free and confidential consultation to motorists charged with DUI in Denver and the surrounding area, including Aurora, Englewood, Lakewood and Boulder.

If you are facing Colorado DUI charges:

• Contact an experienced attorney to discuss your rights.
• To contest a driver’s license suspension, a request for a Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles Administrative Hearing must be requested within 7 days of the time of your arrest. Failure to request a hearing will result in an automatic license suspension.
• Collect and maintain all paperwork related to your arrest. It is also a good idea to make notes of everything you remember as soon as possible after your arrest, and to save receipts from the restaurant or tavern, whenever possible. Sharing this information with an experienced Denver DUI defense attorney can be a great asset in building your defense. Police are building a case – documentation by officers will consist primarily of incriminating evidence against you and may even intentionally exclude evidence in your favor. Talk to friends or family members present before, during or after the arrest and document everything, no matter how insignificant it seems at the time, including what you ate or drank throughout the day.
• The Administrative Hearing is a great way to hear the case against you before it reaches the courtroom. An experienced defense attorney may request the presence of all officers at the scene, including the officer who made the traffic stop, the investigating officer and the officer who made the arrest and/or transported you to the station.

The Denver drunk driving defense lawyers at Rosenthal & Heymann will move aggressively to protect your rights. By reviewing the facts and circumstances of your arrest, investigating your case, and building a comprehensive defense, we will fight for your driving rights through the Colorado DMV and challenge the criminal charges in court.

Just because you are arrested for drunk driving, doesn’t mean you will be convicted
of drunk driving. Call today for a free and confidential consultation to discuss your rights.
