If you have been charged or arrested with driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while ability impaired (DWAI) in Colorado, or if you have general questions regarding the DUI/DWAI process, our Colorado DUI Guide is a step-by-step manual on what you can expect. From the initial stop to court appearances and sentencing, our guide will walk you through a typical DUI or DWAI charged in Colorado.
A DUI or DWAI can be charged against a person if the police officer suspects the person is under the influence or impaired by alcohol, marijuana, illegal narcotics or drugs, and even prescription medicines.
A person charged or arrested for DUI or DWAI has numerous concerns about the criminal charges, the evidence, if there will be a loss of the driver’s license, if there will be jail time, the court process and other potential consequences.
This web site is intended to provide basic information regarding driving charges. However, this DUI guide is not intended as legal advice. Legal advice can only be provided between an attorney and client in a private setting like an office.
