The Greeley DUID defense lawyer at McAdams Law Office will work toward helping you avoid these consequences when accused of drugged driving with:
If you hire our Greeley DUID defense attorney to represent your case, McAdams Law Office will start by obtaining prosecutorial evidence to determine what their office can prove. We will lay out our findings, usually within a week of hire, and explain where we think your case should go.
Our legal team will not stop there even if prosecutors seem to have case-damaging evidence. We will continue to investigate and scrutinize every shred of evidence with experts who can speak to the facts of your case and not solely based on the prosecutor’s theory.
While the penalties for a DUI are the same as a DUID, other factors could increase your penalties, including enhancements and if you were found to have a controlled substance illegally. Our Greeley DUID lawyer can explain how this affects your case if it applies.

This firm had successfully defended clients from those accused of sleep-driving while on Ambien to involuntary intoxication when a drug they had ingested caused a reaction. Our Greeley DUID attorney has worked to obtain successful outcomes with clients who did everything they were supposed to do and yet had a problematic response that caused them to be arrested for impaired driving.
Even if you believe you were impaired, obtaining counsel to defend you is essential. Did you know that there is no definitive test to prove that someone is under the influence of drugs? There is no way to test someone’s blood for drugs like it is to test for impairment while driving under the influence of alcohol.
The police officer who arrested you will not tell you that it is challenging to test for DUID. Our Greeley DUID lawyer is certified in the overview of drug recognition evaluation and typically has more training than most certified police officers. We will use this information to build solid cases for defeating charges on behalf of clients.
A DUI conviction can mean steep fines, mandatory loss of driver’s privileges for a lengthy period, community service, probation, and installing an ignition interlock device that you will have to breathe into once you regain your driver’s privileges.
The stakes are too high not to retain a skilled advocate on your behalf, one with a track record of results that you can rely on.
At McAdams Law Office, you will benefit from the fact that we dedicate a significant portion of our practice to DUIs and DUID charges in Colorado.
