How to Ensure Your Legal Rights Are Protected at Each Step
One in three drunk driving arrests is a repeat offender. According to the new Colorado bill relating to drunk driving that was passed in July 2010, the amount of jail time for convicted repeat DUI offenders will increase dramatically across Colorado. There is a mandatory sentence of 10 days in jail for second-time offenders, with two years of probation. If you are arrested a third time and convicted, you will be spending a minimum of 60 days in jail, in addition to involuntary enrollment in a drug or alcohol treatment program.
There is no question that you need a skilled attorney to defend you against serious DUI charges like these. People who are arrested for DUIs are not criminals, but they will be treated as such. An attorney with a proven track record of results and the knowledge and experience to mount a strong defense can play a significant role in the outcome of your case.
